blooming confidence
‘Blooming confidence’ is a narrative S/S 25 print collection centered around post mastectomy fashion. Inspired by the architecture of the Maggies centre, Leeds, a space where my nana felt a newfound sense of community in a relaxed and positive atmosphere, throughout her recent journey beating breast cancer. Extracting geometric shapes from positive and negative spaces in the building to inform loose, comfortable silhouettes. Textural sublimation prints inspired by the rooftop gardens, imagining this space as a personal garden of my nanas blooming with her favourite flowers. Combining a warm but bold colour palette with transparent, dreamy fabrics to create a sense of empowerment for the confident woman.
