‘Oh, you just need to moisturise’ is an exploration of both personal narrative and shared experience. Inspired by the challenges of incurable conditions like Atopic Eczema, the collection invites reflection on the complexities of perception, comfort, beauty standards and self expression. Garments are fabricated with a commitment to innovation, ethical sourcing and regenerative design, created through the use of deadstock fabrics, recycled plastics and algae-based textiles.
Katinka Von Elsner Wellsteed
‘Dear Earth’ explores the relationship between body, nature and material, working to blur the boundaries between all things artificial and organic. To create these transformative designs, Katinka upcycles tents and adventure gear. These manmade materials that were previously used for human benefit in the natural environment are saved from landfill and given new form within the collection.
Mia Wilson
‘The Grotesque’ delves deep into the unconventional and the macabre. Inspired by gargoyles, animal bones and predatory creatures, the collection uses 3D printing and robotics to highlight the fusion of technology and organic matter. The discovery of beauty in unexpected places invites viewers to explore the darker, more complex facets of human emotion and identity.

‘TREES, PLEASE!’ revolves around the issue of deforestation, stripping the world of colour and life whilst also incorporating parrot anatomy and characteristics to create sophisticated silhouettes and interesting structures.
