Garments created to feel delicate, meaningful, and beautifully personal.

Welcome to my website - a curated space showcasing my work as a contour fashion designer specialising in lingerie, corsetry, swimwear, nightwear, loungewear, underwear and technical design. Here, you’ll find a collection of projects that highlight my strengths in trend research, CAD, and detail-led creativity. From concept development to technical resolution, this website reflects my journey, my skills, and my passion for creating modern, thoughtful intimate apparel.

My Projects

Throughout my design journey, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a diverse range of creative projects from live industry collaborations to conceptual explorations that developed my technical and creative skills. Each project reflects a different aspect of my growth as a designer.

Final Major Project | Laced In Love |
BA (Hons) Contour Fashion |
(on going project)

Laced in Love is a luxury lingerie corsetry collection developed as my Final Major Project for BA (Hons) Contour Fashion at De Montfort University. Inspired by bridal romance, vintage jewellery and contemporary corsetry, the collection explores the balance between structure and softness through a series of intimate apparel looks that combine custom-printed stretch satin, delicate white lace and flowing sheer chiffon.

 

The collection title derives from the relationship between the intricate white lace and my bespoke print design, inspired by vintage jewellery drawings and ornamental details. Together, these elements create the visual language that runs throughout the collection, symbolising romance, craftsmanship and treasured heirlooms. The hero look further reinforces this concept through its lace-up corset fastening, celebrating both the technical and decorative qualities of corsetry construction.

 

Throughout the project, I have focused on advanced pattern development, luxury lingerie construction and textile innovation, creating garments that showcase specialist contour techniques alongside couture-inspired detailing.

 

The collection incorporates gifted luxury lace from Potencier, received following a review of my work in April 2026, alongside custom-developed prints designed specifically for the project.

 

Laced in Love represents the culmination of my final year studies, bringing together technical precision, creative storytelling and contemporary intimate apparel design. This project remains ongoing, with final garments and collection outcomes due for submission in June 2026.

All pink fabrics and strapping I brought white, as it allowed me to achieve the perfect shade of dark pink, and also enabled me to have my white jewellery print on the pink.

My first time making contour garments ...

Understanding and Learning Garment Construction

These garments were created during my first year at university in 2023 as part of my Technical File, designed to help me understand and apply key garment construction techniques. Each piece allowed me to build confidence in pattern cutting, stitching, component use, and contour-specific construction methods. This foundational work strengthened my technical accuracy and supported my development as a contour designer, forming the basis of the skills I continue to build on in later projects.
