Archiving, provenance and work in progress are themes that my practice draws itself from, as I question the value of the fashion process. With a stance that situates itself between the designer, fashion historian and the curator, my work moves fluidly between these fields. My final year's work has looked into clearly opening up the ‘behind the scenes’ nature of my work. By doing so, allowing the audience and customers to see a full journey from the beginning of an idea, to references, to all the toiles through a simple SWH (my initials) code. By doing so I aim to clearly demonstrate where I have drawn ideas from and the research around my references. This, I often phrase, designing for end archival point, by allowing such information to remain with my garments.
