This collection explores the ways in which the conscious and unconscious psyche interact. The conscious mind often holds censorship over the unconscious, as people fall into a mindless rhythm and pattern of day-to-day life. Amplifying the possibilities of the subconscious, the collection explores floral motifs through a variety of woven and knitted fabrications. Familiar garments such as sleepwear, underwear and workwear are combined and draped to go beyond structured expectations, evolving everyday garments into something free of conscious censorship. The collection considers the potential of unconscious ideas. How can we harness our dreams? How can we prevent the extraordinary from being reduced to the mundane?
