Profile
My research integrates an investigation into the role of the human emotional state within the methodology of fashion design, with a practical and theoretical exploration of the creation of contemporary Haute Couture.
My research aims to establish a personal methodology to the design process that will promote the utilisation of the human psychological experience within design.
Such a visceral approach to fashion design will create new paradigms that will challenge perceptions of the use of common practice research methods to the design process; therefore symbiotically influencing a modern and relevant pedagogical approach towards the creation of fashion.
