This print-led, womenswear fashion collection, ‘There’s Something In the Water’, was inspired by the incredible depths of our oceans. It seems absurd there is more knowledge of the moon than the depths of our own planet, yet no time is wasted destroying our ocean’s ecosystems. But what is all creeping there in the depths…?

Researching methodologies for this project included scientific resources such as books and documentaries. Utilising this material, a range of deep-sea creatures was hand painted with acrylics onto black card, A2 or A3-size. The individual artworks were then digitally placed into complex designs for digital fabric printing. Fabric choices include natural fibres only, using silks and viscose. The silhouette of the garments revolves around inclusivity and adjustability – there are many ways in which the garments of this collection can be worn, due to the use of reversible prints and adjustable elastic. This means every piece can create many different looks.
