What has the response been towards your collection since graduating from the MA?
The response i've received has been very positive. It is always encouraging when other people are excited by my aesthetics and vision.

Will you be continuing to design under your own name or are you be looking to join a fashion house / company?
At the moment, I'm looking to join a company to gain some experience before i design under my own name. I think many mistakes will be made early on and it would be handy to learn directly from industry.

How much difficulty are you finding succeeding as a designer in your own right now you have graduated?
It is definitely not an easy task to succeed as a designer right now. With so many extremely talented designers graduating, i think what's most important is to persevere, be patient and stay true to one's vision.

How was your experience at the RCA?
Fantastic! I loved the environment and how so many departments were in the same building. I had a very fun class and let's just say there were very few dull moments.

What is inspiring you at the moment?
The Beijing Olympics and all its glory.

What are you plans for the rest of the year? Will you be doing another collection?
At the moment, I'm concentrating on finding more freelance work. I plan to do another collection but perhaps a bit later on.
