Fashion Design
My project proposes the development of garments that celebrate women’s changing body shapes. The designs integrate sustainable principles to extend garment lifespan, reduce overconsumption, and promote positive body image. The emphasis will be on garments that enhance self-confidence and support wellbeing, offering both physical comfort and emotional resonance. Combining adaptive fit technologies with aesthetically empowering silhouettes, my project seeks to create fashion that embraces change as a natural, beautiful part of life — rather than something to hide or “correct.”
