DESIGN PROCESS
SARA CHYAN
Jewellery is an object that carries more than just an intrinsic significance, for it is not merely an ornament but also a medium for expressing one’s individuality.
In this project, Sara chose to use gallium and bismuth because she believes these two metallic materials possess symbolic attributes that can be employed to reflect the emotional state of the wearer. This is inspired by her obsession with heat, exploring the possibility of using temperature to assess one's emotional state.

SARAH GARFIELD
The main theme of Sarah’s collection was revisiting her 13-year-old self, trying to be an Emo Goth Kid and rebelling from her Eastern European Jewish heritage. What sparked the idea for this concept was when she visited Israel, and learnt to appreciate her Jewish identity not through religion, but through the arts and culture.
It wasn’t just the late 90’s trend of visible underwear that inspired Sarah, but also the layering of sports bras under vests than many young women wear today, as they fit workouts with their busy lives.

SARAH WOOLLEY
Inspired by 1960s Space Race, the NEO FUTURISM collection reimagines the comic series, Barbarella and costumes designed by Paco Rabanne.

SAVVAS ALEXANDER
Savvas collection 001, titled ‘as the lotus blooms’ is based on the narrative of uncovering deceit.
SHAMIMA MUSARRAT
Shamima’s collection ‘Conflicted Heritage’ focuses on the inner struggles that exist within all of us in various aspects of our lives, which shape us to be the individuals we are. This particular project explores her own conflicting thoughts and emotions that arise out of a need to construct an identity that considers all of the flavours of her different cultures.
Shamima is a British-born, Bangladeshi Muslim and very often the values of these different identities can clash with one another, meaning mixing together the aspects of each culture is perceived as a paradox.

SHANNON LOUISE
Shannon Louise’s collection has captured the harsh reality of bullying, focusing on cyber bullying as it is growing with todays society on social media. Demonstrating that it is just as important as any other social and political discourse. She is wanting to change the globals perception of this accepted behaviour, which causes serious mental and physical health issues.

SHAN ZHANG
Kill King Thrushbeard ss2020 is a series of prints as puzzles. The idea is to have a poetic Chinese logic behind a Vaporwave-influenced aesthetic. As a sarcastic approach to the fact that western designers use oriental elements for superficial decoration, each of the prints starts from a British designer name without any deep understanding. With the detour thinking and literature-referencing logic from “SheFu”, the first print is “the MCQUEEN print".

SHUN YIP
Shun Yip’s collection was heavily inspired by the notion of the film ‘Pleasantville’. which was used as a bedrock to push the ideas of an archetypal world that has divergent protagonists. An existence that has distractions from what the world really is, utopian principles painting a picture of a faultless environment, a sanctuary from the reality that surrounds us every day. Taking menswear into a new direction, reworking it into a collection of realism.

SIJIA JIANG
Sijia Jiang's collection was heavily inspired by 1900s medical procedure and plastic surgery after world war two. The artificial limb for disabled soldiers, cutting lines and stitching process during the plastic surgery inspired Sijia to create details and print for the collection. Sijia created a contemporary collection exploring culture and movement. Transforming the ancient leather and metal tools into a more feminine style.

SOHYEON PARK

SOPHIE JANE ROBINSON
Sophie Jane Robinson’s collection was inspired by her childhood memories of visiting her paternal grandparents and their home.

STEVE JIN
Steve Jin's capsule collection titled ‘Between Solidity and Fluidity’ is a work of self-reflection. In order to discover the persona behind the pieces, one needs only to look at the pieces themselves. Steve likes to describe himself as a clean person.
He likes to be tidy and organised yet he revels in small explosions of intricate details, a fine juxtaposition of structure and chaos. By adding an effeminate touch such as flower embroidery acting as decorative accents on a palette of periwinkle blues and blush pink, the collection alluded to the 70s era; and the whole of it, a coming together of the ‘free-spirit’ and the ‘neat freak’.

STUDIO KARRO
'Nocturnal Dreamscape' relates to the complicity of Karro’s new collection. A lot of design twists such as asymmetry and disproportion enhance each piece. The black and white collapse represents overthinking and over emotionality. The collection is very abstract if you look at the full range.
Every season Karro’s work evolves. For this collection she used Nuno Felting techniques to handcraft wool for our premium winter overgarments, jackets and coats. Karro collected a palette of grey shades of raw merino wool as well as raw silks and placed them to create a pattern resembling marbles.

SYDNEY UMBERTO
Sydney Umberto’s collection, titled “Faded Memories,” is inspired by her childhood memories. Suffering from attachment anxiety at a young age, she uses the things that once comforted her as the details for the collection. For Umberto, memories represent a calmness, a time where one can see how instrumental moments in their lives were. This sense of nostalgia is what drives the collection.

SABRINA HSIEH
Sabrina explores the vitality of different cultures through following collections. Above all, the experimental attitude is at the core of all she does, which is not only manifested in the patterns and silhouette, but also in the attempt to challenge the gender stereotypes. The opulent patterns can still be masculine, and femininity and strength coexist.
With the aim to reproduce the conflicting, a little mysterious feel of the process while diverse cultures confront and integrate, Sabrina deconstructed and reassembled art paintings to create daring and unique patterns, and accentuated the contrast with Jewish traditional clothing-inspired clean-cut silhouette. &
