On a mission to become a Fashion Designer

Jan 1

A recap over what’s been happening in my life over the last year.

After 5 years of studying Fashion Design with marketing I finally graduated from American Intercontinental University of London end of May.

I had to create my final collection which I named Virginia Black.

Cross a hells angel with an English rose- a fight of delicate beauty and rebellion, an explosion of opposites- to create beautiful grunge biker wear. A rebellious princess trying to escape the palace tears through the overgrown garden on her roaring Harley Davidson.

Our graduation show was held at the Old Truman Brewery in Brick Lane held in Free Range graduate week.

To view the show click this link my collection 18mins in.

Here are some pictures that inspired me for my collection and also a photo shoot that took place at my beautiful home Old Colehurst Manor that I am very lucky to have and the shots were taken by a very talented photographer Catherine Bradley.

I also made a quickie blog at uni which has more pictures from the photo shoot and some other things I did at uni.


I was lucky to be contacted by Sophie Monro-Pruett a Freelance Fashion Stylist who was putting together a shoot for a new online magazine called Noctis Magazine, the shoot was named ‘The Witching Hour’ and one of my dresses and leather vests were modeled on the pages 63 and 64. First ever pictures in a magazine!!
