CONCEPT STATEMENT
‘Samba’ explores the relationship between past and future, the past being classic archetypes of cowboys, athletes, and motorcyclists and future being in an avant-garde light. In this collection, ‘Samba’ refers to specific experiences that I have lived in. These key moments are simply my human experiences being told through fashion. My links to my Italian heritage in football are seen in multiple garments contrasted with a fashion-forward approach in shape and structure. Bold shapes and geometric patterns are also seen throughout this collection as She finds her inspiration being more simplified to allow for higher detail in pattern-making techniques. ‘Samba’ invites you to step into a world where innovation meets tradition.
