The trouser material was given to me by a friend, she said The unique nature of it reminded her of me !

I created the pattern for these flares by folding a pair I currently owned and tracing around them. I had to leave about 2 inches to accommodate for the seam allowance and extra room needed to wear a layer underneath as these are mesh.

I made these in 2020, and even though I have grown since then, I still wear these out to this day !

Unfortunately though, the overlocking has come undone around the waistband. I think this is due to an error when I made them, as I noticed after wearing them out a few times that the elastic waistband would get twisted in the fabric around it, and I think this ultimately lead it to come apart.

Therefore, the next time I make a pair of flares, I will ensure that the stitching that holds the waistband is secure and the waistband itself is in the correct position.

SHOP WINDOW CURATION

I currently work as an Assistant Manager at a premium Re;Loved charity shop, where I regularly change the shop windows and overall layout of the shop according to leading product sales.

I plan to create a collage of my best displays, and the process I use in deciding which products to highlight.

EDUCATION

My creative background began during my GCSEs, where I studied Media, Fashion and Textiles, developing early skills in visual communication, garment construction, and trend‑led design work. I continued this pathway at A‑Level with English Literature, Media Studies, and Product Design, which strengthened my understanding of narrative, branding, and the relationship between aesthetics and function. During my Liberal Arts degree, I explored how culture and style evolve across different mediums, choosing modules such as Video Games, Digital Literature, and Victorian Literature — a combination that deepened my interest in digital aesthetics, storytelling, and the historical foundations of fashion and identity.
