VOGUE AUSTRALIA MAY 2024
My Practice
I am a fashion designer with a focus on found objects, upcycling and using intuitive design methods, not too focused on standard body shapes and sizes but more the way that an individual (often myself) decides to let the garment work for their body or occasion. I also create textile art and installations that are always very conceptual with a big focus on community creating and displaying in a setting that allows for collective thinking. I have created workshops and events that go with my practice and ideas I want to share and am always open to collaborations and comissions! I create all pieces one off and am currently based in London. All work on this page is also photographed by me unless specified otherwise.
My Research
I am currently completing my MA in Fashion Futures at London College of Fashion UAL. My research is focused on a post growth integration into the current fashion system and how tangible change can come about in this realm. With the goal of Defashioning, inspired by Fashion Act Now, I look into alternative fashion practices and what other fashion systems could emerge. I am interested in radical vs reformist sustainability and ways to create actionable progress towards degrowth.
Ouch! A fairy bit me…
Ouch is a community and art collective Co-Founded and Co-Directed by M00NCH1LDSW4G and Love From Jaimie. We aim to use art as a tool of care in a world of neglect. Noting the hierarchies of existing creative circles, we aim to cultivate a judgement-free space for self-expression, regardless of experience or skill level, and to give passionate people a platform to realise their ideas. We’re exhausted by the prevailing culture of individualism and want to realise a space for collective thinking. We aim to create an environment for new systems to emerge and collectively ease into change together, prioritising mutual love, trust and care. We believe in experimentation, allowing members to move outside their usual roles and challenge themselves in a safe and supportive space. We hold exhibitions, parties and monthly community events across London and Berlin.
