Distort is a streetwear collection aimed to embrace comfort in confidence. This collection explores the concept of beauty and distortion which is influenced by social media. Silhouette was influenced by exploration into oversized bomber jackets and varsity/ baseball jackets. I have also looked at motocross protective clothing to inform silhouette and shape. I was interested in the mesh lining techniques which I used as a primary source of investigation to inform sampling. Scale is a huge part of this collection with oversized silhouettes, drawstring cords and partial knit techniques all relating to the concept of distortion. I have explored different scales of drawstring and channels to explore the distortion of fabrics in different ways, revealing and concealing prints. My fabric story is focused on denim, cotton yarn, techno jersey and jersey fleece to lie alongside my streetwear aesthetic.
