Sizing XS S M L XL XXL

Material 90% Glitter Printed Recycled Polyester

10% Lyocell

I will be using recycled polyester as there is an abundance of plastic bottles that need a new life. This is better for the environment than continuously making virgin polyester, as it is uses far less fossil fuels.

Influenced By:

I drew inspiration from my competitor Harmur when creating this jumpsuit. It will be backless (like all their items). To make it stand out, I wanted to make this item sparkly, as then it elevated the look. It is perfect for an evening party. It is also a piece that could be worn by all ages – expanding out from my target audience.

Influenced By:

The inspiration for this blazer dress came from Taylor Swift. She was one of the influential feminists that I researched. I found outfit on social media, and lots of women were recreating it. Therefore, I decided to make my own version, so people could ‘get the look’ for less.

Link to Sustainability:

I will switch regular sequins for cellulose sequins. I have chosen to do this because sequins are a microplastic that end up in landfill forever. These plastics are bad for the environment as they are a microplastic. Marine wildlife eat these, then eventually they end up in the human food chain.

Influenced By:

When creating this item, I took inspiration from my trend and colour board. I used the shade of pink that matches my brand colours, as well adding a little sparkle –to make the outfit more occasional. From my trend board, I adapted the knot and twist trend, to ensure it was smoothing, and flattering when being worn.

This item is made using lyocell and organic cotton. These two materials are far better for the environment than dresses that are made from polyester. This is because polyester is made by using fossil fuels – which have a detrimental effect on the environment and will eventually run out.

Item Elena - One Shoulder

Top

Style No. 004

Price £145.00

Link to Sustainability:

Sizing 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20

Material 95% Glitter Printed Recycled Polyester Polyester

5% Lyocell

The Elena top is made from recycled polyester and lyocell. This was the best alternative to using cotton or polyester. Both of these materials have harsh effects on the environment, from being treated with pesticides, to burning fossil fuels. Using recycled polyester is the best option, as I can recycle plastic and give it an end use.

For this item, I will be trialling inbetween sizes.

For this item, I will be trialling inbetween sizes.

Influenced By:

I created this piece to match the Elena top. I chose to make them flared because they are flattering to all body types and also on trend. Flares have become wardrobe staples – worn across all seasons. The colour has been taken from my colour board, as WGSN predicts in 2024 this will be one of the key seasonal colours.

This item is made using lyocell and organic cotton. These two materials are far better for the environment than dresses that are made from polyester. This is because polyester is made by using fossil fuels – which have a detrimental effect on the environment and will eventually run out.

Influenced By:

This blazer (which forms a 3 piece set), takes inspiration from Zendaya. She is a very influential woman, who has become known for defying gender norms by wearing suits on red carpets and to press events. I combined this with a colour that is going to be popular in S/S 24, to add a more feminine touch, as I am creating womenswear.

Item Z-Power Blazer

Style No. 006

Price £180.00

Link to Sustainability:

Sizing XS S M L XL XXL

Material 100% Lyocell

Lyocell is a much more sustainable material that is being used more often by a range of retailers. It makes a much more sustainable alternative to polyester blazers. I also saw that Reformation make their blazers from lyocell, and they feel good quality. It also had very good reviews online – consumers said it was durable and good quality. This made me want to use it for my blazer.

005

Influenced By:

I wanted to create something that complimented the blazer, but remained feminine. I drew inspiration from Madonna, as she wore corsets and bodices in the 80s. This bra top also links to the y2k trend, which has been very popular for various seasons now.

Style No. 007

Price £60.00

Influenced By:

I drew inspiration for these trousers mostly from Zendaya. This is what she tends to pair with the blazers/suit jackets that she often wears to movie premieres. I also noticed that many of the blazer sets on my trend board were worn with trousers. The colour for these was also taken directly from my trend board.

Material 78% Organic Recycled Cotton 22% Lyocell

Link to Sustainability:

Like many other items in my collection, I have chosen to make these trousers from recycled polyester and lyocell. Most tailored trousers are made from virgin polyester, so in order to get the same feel and finish, I am using the more sustainable option of recycled polyester.

008

Link to Sustainability:

This item will be made from organic, recycled cotton. It is far better for the environment, as cotton is not treated with any pesticides that harm the environment. Cotton is still not the best material to use admittedly, but has the best properties when creating a bra top. It is breathable and usually soft. I will also be adding in lyocell to create stretch.

Style No. 008
