A series of modular garments developed during my time at the Jan van Eyck Academie in the Netherlands.
Dress Up explores costume as a graphic system for the body. The project grew from my interest in modular forms, repeated units, movement and play, using garments as a way to test how colour and shape behave beyond flat print.
The pieces sit somewhere between costume, sculpture and uniform. They are built through simple rules: repeated panels, fixed ratios, bold fastenings and practical limitations. For me, costume is a way to make graphics move, misbehave and take up space.
