RMIT Bachelor of Fashion (Design)

Riddled with nostalgia, Returning Home explores a yearning for a different time and is deeply rooted in the expression of our inner child. Through personal reflection on the notion of longing, I am reminded of the linearity of time and the transcending capabilities of nostalgia. Pillowing silhouettes, sweet colour palettes, and the comforting textures of this collection attempt to capture the intangible elements of my childhood dreams. Throughout this poetic narrative, I aim to preserve the art of handcraftsmanship, prioritising hand-finished closures, meticulous hand-ruched laces, and beautifully refined quilts. Returning Home welcomes a world of redefined femininity for women who are inspired to reconnect with their childhood psyche.
