Shaunah Ivers
Fashion Design
Throughout my graduate collection I have embraced my love for tailoring. It is a sector within fashion that I have always had an appreciation for as it requires a lot of skill and precision which is something I plan on mastering. I have combined this with the art of pattern matching which has proven to be very difficult but incredibly rewarding. My collection is dedicated to my dad who passed in 2018, someone I looked up to and will for the rest of my days. Pairing a concept close to my heart with something I love and have a passion for is the perfect way in my mind to express emotions that I can’t express in words.
Drawing from emotions and memories I present DIE REIS. A dedication to my dad, a man who lives on in my memories, my whole heart and now this collection. Bringing printed tailored garments with strong silhouettes inspired by 1940’s suits and bright, bold prints expressing the feelings I felt at the time; grief sadness, confusion. The bright choice of magenta shows the strong memories and feelings that got left behind during that time and my growth since then. To my dad, my inspiration, my heart.
