As part of my final year I had to also design an alternative collection. This had to be something completely different from our main collection down from colours to seasons.

​

For this project i wanted to look in to beetles, i love the patterns on them and how there shell can be seen as armour which then led me to looking into armour from japan.

​

I loved how it seemed the armour was weaved and also the colours which then brought me to doing a knit wear collection for autumn winter. I also decided to make my own limo beads for the embellishments which i took inspiration from the armour.
