    I don’t actually know how I first got into the creative scene!.. I first started as a fashion product manager for some designers and from that, I started doing my own photography and I had to cast models for that, and then I just started literally doing random stuff like putting on exhibitions, working with a lot of creative people in London and just trying to build a platform and show people’s work.”

    Many of the pieces are the same cut for both men and women. You can’t put a gender on an item of clothing…Wearing a Thom Browne kilt skirt was one of the most freeing feelings that I’ve ever had wearing a piece of clothing, and it’s still not looked at in a way that’s necessarily socially accepted.”

    Clash means to me, being mixed race, half Asian half white, having a mother that emigrated to the United Kingdom who had to lose part of her culture to be accepted.
