BA (Hons) Fashion Design

The message behind the “Blooms” collection is mainly inspired by ideas that unite the fusion of flowers and women, between softness and delicate natural fragility but sharp and striking.

A metaphor to say that women are like a beautiful flower, all will bloom in different colours, characteristics as well as at different moment of times. Therefore, the idea of bloom is a message to always believe in yourself and flourish your way. Along with the water flows are metaphorical throughout my work. The forward flow of ripples carries the idea of always looking to the future in the most positive sight.

I attach the concepts of softness and flexibility in things to metaphors the lightness but also the charm in women which is also a strong element associate to my personality. Like flowers, I always aim for the softness, flexible yet strong and full of will to rise.

My design ethos has always been towards a sweet yet sexy style. Therefore, it’s unique in that it’s like my personality. Sweet, but no less in terms of strong yet attractive. Associated with flowers. Although it is fragile and light in appearance, it is strong in terms of blooming and highly survivable under extreme weather. It’s the ideas to do not underestimate that strong powerful empower hidden underneath that beauty, delicacy looks.

As a female individual. I always constantly comparing my body contours. However, throughout the process of making theses between fashion and women during my constellation process. I realize an important factor is perspective and acceptance.


Ysbrydolwyd y neges tu ôl i’r casgliad “Blooms” yn bennaf gan syniadau sy’n uno’r cyfuniad o flodau a merched, rhwng meddalwch a breuder naturiol cain ond yn siarp a thrawiadol.

Trosiad i ddweud fod merched fel blodyn hardd, ac yn blodeuo mewn lliwiau gwahanol, gyda nodweddion gwahanol yn ogystal ag ar adegau gwahanol. Felly, mae’r syniad o ‘flodeuo’ yn neges i gredu ynoch chi eich hun o hyd a blodeuo yn eich ffordd eich hun. Mae llif dŵr hefyd yn drosiadau drwyddi draw yn fy ngwaith. Mae blaen lif y crychau yn y dŵr yn cario’r syniad o edrych i’r dyfodol o hyd yn y modd mwyaf cadarnhaol posibl.

Rwy’n cysylltu cysyniadau meddalwch a hyblygrwydd pethau â throsiadau golau ond hefyd swyn merched sydd hefyd yn elfen y gellir ei gysylltu â’m personoliaeth i. Fel blodau, rwy’n anelu am y meddalwch o hyd, hyblyg ond eto’n gryf ac yn llawn ysbryd i godi.

Mae fy ethos dylunio bob amser yn anelu at arddull annwyl ond rhywiol. Mae’n unigryw felly, fel fy mhersonoliaeth. Annwyl, ond yn gryf a deniadol yn yr un modd. Yn gysylltiedig â blodau. Er ei fod yn fregus ac ysgafn o ran ymddangosiad, mae’n gryf yn nhermau blodeuo ac yn gallu goresgyn yn wyneb tywydd eithafol. Y syniad yw peidio â bychanu’r cryfder eithriadol sy’n gudd y tu ôl i’r ymddangosiad hardd, bregus.

Fel unigolyn benywaidd. Rwy’n cymharu amlinellau fy nghorff yn aml. Serch hynny, drwy gydol y broses o wneud y cymariaethau yma rhwng ffasiwn a merched yn ystod y broses ymgynghori. Rwy’n sylweddoli mai perspectif a derbyniad yw’r ffactorau pwysig.
