Specimen
‘SPECIMEN’ is the idea to take something that exists and analyze it through enlarging and magnifying. This line incorporates the imagery of tags, barcodes, and receipts. This aims to reflect my view of the modern fashion industry
Sketches
Although drawing on receipts is nothing new, a lot of my inspiration for these clothes can be found within the visual language in receipts. Having my references live in this environment felt appropriate and true to the idea of a specimen.
