My final collection reflects my experiences from my time living in the United Arab Emirates. It's a blend of old and new, inspired by the rich traditions I have encountered, with an emphasis on investigating into the duality of external and internal environments. Throughout my final year I have focused on learning new techniques including knitting and traditional tailoring to help create a well rounded collection which encapsulates both my skill set as well as my concept. Throughout the development of my collection I have reflected on the skills I learnt within my placement year as well as the previous years of my studies.
