In this hypothetical post-nuclear winter landscape, this winter collection explores the aftermath of human conflict. 
Through the lens of fashion as storytelling, this body of work examines the consequences of radiation on human, animal, and botanical life forms. Each couture piece becomes a form of performance art, embodying the physical and psychological scars left behind by warfare.
With exaggerated silhouettes, distressed textures, and transformative materials, the collection stands as a warning, a cautionary tale against the nuclear arms race and chemical warfare. Patterned with a mix of traditional and digital techniques using CLO3D, as well as utilising unique embellishment techniques and many hand-sewn couture techniques, I consider it an ode to human resiliance, and a harsh reminder of what is lost when humanity recklessly self-destructs.
