Serene Futurism

My final installation was in Dunnes Stores St. Stephens Green, inspired by the WGSN S/S24 trend “Sensescape.” The creative inspiration was connecting traditional fabrics with a futuristic essence, showcasing lingerie in a new way. It was an exploration of how natural and artificial influences are being combined to create bold and surprising design solutions. I used holographic fabric to create a sense of melting and structuring both fabrics simultaneously. I symbolically styled the lingerie, introducing a glimmer of jewellery to connect with the holographic fabric, and the lingerie was the focal point.

Pearlescent

Fashion and Branding project: I took on the role of creative director for Simone Rocha, deeply moved by the femininity in her designs. The inspiration for the window design was Rocha’s S/S 24 collection, a masterful display of pearls. I carefully crafted big and small pearls, ensuring they were a prominent feature while maintaining a connection to her primary colour, baby pink. To highlight the versatility of Rocha's designs, I dressed the mannequin in a black dress, a stark contrast that underscores their gender neutrality. All of this was meticulously created using Sketch-up and Vray.
