This collection came from a place of complete emotional overwhelm, in the best way tho! After leaving Paris, I felt totally struck, starstruck even! By just about everything I’d seen and felt. The grandeur, the scale, the gold, the mythology… it was all a bit much, in the most beautiful way.. There was so much love and admiration in me for what I saw but I'll be honest there was also this quiet niggle of comparison… like, how could I ever be that good. I'd arrived at the doorstep of the worlds greatest.
I didn’t want to rush anything, so let it simmer for bittt! Letting the inspiration and the bloody doubt swirl around for weeks. I ruminated, overthought, second-guessed myself, as I always do, you know me!... until one morning, it just hit me. I wasn’t meant to be intimidated by what I saw. I was meant to be inspired. It was never about being like those artists it was about my own legacy and seeing what’s possible for me!
And that’s exactly why this collection is called "The Sky's the Limit" Because we can’t let fear hold us back. We have to let our insecurities show us where we want to go and then allow ourselves to go there!!!!
I pushed myself like never before, exploring materials and trials for weeeeeeks!
Visually, this collection is full of all the things that stayed with me most, the gold, the richness, the mythological energy, the drama and scale. But emotionally, it holds so much more. This is a collection built on awe, fear, joy, inspiration, and finally… trust. Trust in myself. Trust in the process. Trust that what I have to say is worth saying.
my god It’s emotional even writing this really, because these pieces carry all of it. The full journey from inside my mind. I really bloody hope you like it! xx
