Inspiration

My masters project was born from the recollection of the party frocks of my childhood, a special item of clothing that elicited excitement and joy with the anticipation of every wear. Worn repeatedly for every special occasion until they were eventually outgrown.

​

The very antithesis of current attitudes towards clothing, I wondered if the ideology behind my party frocks could be used to encourage the concept of cherishing our clothes today.  I began to investigate the nature of value by examining my attachment to the things I hold dear. Asking what do I value? And why do I value them?
