Fashion is not solely about designing and constructing garments it is a mixture of skills that demonstrate your adaptability, not only a professional approach to fashion design but the knowledge of political, social and cultural issues that influence and change current trends. Designing involves a number of processes; photography, fine art, textiles, and 3D structure to produce a succinct and mature approach to fashion. My portfolio demonstrates a unique and varied approach to fashion design with emphasis on illustrations and fabric dissection generating a detailed technique. Photography is a powerful way to emphasise fresh ideology, I have used this professionally to direct fashion shoots for my website, concentration and independent practice leading to the discovery of new genres.

What attracts me to study fashion is that I have the ability to see something potentially successful and innovative through inspirations that occur from the little things in the environment around me and immediately visualize the potential on the body; this is reinforced by my reliability and motivation. The fashion design course at Manchester demands consistent motivation and hard-work which is something I thrive on.  These are tools that demonstrate my enthusiasm to learn and most importantly, I make the most of every opportunity that is given to me.  I am eager to develop technical skills such as pattern cutting and valuable historical knowledge that will be important skills for the future.

The advanced facilities at Manchester allow for recognisable and beautifully tailored garments to be produced, this combined with a network of industrial support is what compels me to pursue my professional studies at Manchester where I can stamp my individuality upon.
