Using details such as cut outs, hand-stitching, exaggerated ties and decaying shades of green and a brownish purple to express the self-inflicted pain this habit can cause over time. Pulling yourself apart for someone else’s needs and wants. These techniques, built on top of a dream-like form to symbolise the perception created for others as well as the comfort and security this habit may initially feel, through wet-look fabric texture, soft pink hues, scalloped edges and flowy yet delicate silhouettes.

Dream like on the outside, Rotting and Tearing from the inside. This collection looks to express that whilst people pleasing may seem harmless, it can have damaging effects that creep up on you, to inspirit audiences to learn to break this habit and learn to set boundaries.
