Flourish is Characterising the Seaside
This contrasted perfectly to the bold, brash colours of Maddy Rara’s designs, depicting the accumulation of stimulating concepts that kept the negativity at bay. The garments further enforced this with their abstract, chaotic, yet undeniably enticing shades, textures and shapes. This was also brought to life by the amazing talents of Fallon Havanna (Select Models), Jack Baker and Taylor Smith, encapsulating everything I could’ve asked for. On reflection, I felt this project was the perfect opportunity for not just me but for all of us as creatives to help find solace and purpose again in our creative endeavours, giving us something to ultimately look forward to once lockdown finally relaxed. Creating these ideas are what kept me going, and this series exhibits how they’ve now finally been set free.
