African and Jazz influenced collection:
My inspiration started from looking at classical African fabrics and interpreting them in a modern way, keeping in mind my muses, such as Nina Simone and Esperanza Spalding. With the focus on decoration and surface textiles, I have used unconventional fabrication to create a new texture. Working with Practical SurfaceWare's sustainable and environmentally friendly, non-slip matting has enabled me to demonstrate not only its practical and functional qualities in garment design, but the unique diversity and versatility of the materials.
