CONCEPT STATEMENT:
‘ALL THAT I’VE GOT’ is an editorial photo series exploring the AW24 trends of
deconstruction and recontextualisation through the lens of fashion and psychology.
Spanning across editorial, video and written word, the project explores our early
relationships with fashion and the self. Chronicling the ways we use what we
have to express ourselves against all odds. The story utilises texture and light to
communicate our secret connectedness. Conjuring physical and emotional feeling
through tactile fashion imagery that invites you to feel.
From how we pieced ourselves together, to way we held ourselves when no one was
looking.

This is an ode to transformation, resilience and radical self acceptance.
