Hi, I’m Poppy,

I have grown up living in England. I have just graduated school aged 16 and I am now going onto further education to study Photography, Art and Fashion.  Fashion is what I love to do, I started sewing at a young age and I have never stopped.  I can visualise the pieces in my head and then I have to work out how to make them.  I love working with different materials and learning new techniques.  Being a dyslexic I have always been more artistic and creative, it is my passion, so I want to see how far this journey will take me.

Project

Sheer Material

I wanted to challenge myself with a sheer material as its harder to sew. I decided to take the photos in Turks and Caicos as the material reminded me of the sea foam that gathers on the seashore. I got my younger sister, Lottie, to model the outfit as her appearance compliments the outfit. I took a series of pictures at different times of the day as I wanted to test different light and backgrounds and what effect they had on the picture. I wanted to get a greater understanding on how to photograph and display outfits. I was really pleased with the outfit because it turned out really well and it broadened my knowledge on different materials

Project

Detox

As part of my GCSE school graduation, aged 16, I had to select a project which was based on ‘Environmental Impact’. I chose to look at the fashion industry and to fully understand the impact that it creates. My objective was to create an awareness through a garment which would not only attract people to the garment but to also enable them to look deeper into the symbolism of the materials that I have used. I was horrified to find out that the fashion industry is one of the largest polluters on the planet, as such I wanted to create a garment that would be suitable for a ‘Red carpet’ event, but it would split into 2 pieces. The large expandable banner that unfurls is based on protest signs and is made up of recycled materials and is detachable from the green dress. The Green dress is 100% easily recyclable and has no buttons or zips. The design is meant to be eye catching and appeal to those who have a strong awareness of protecting the environment.

Project

Upcycled

I made these outfits out of upcycled materials. The blue outfit was made from my Nan’s scarf and the pink outfit was made from a sari. We found a great location to take the pictures, using an old paddle steamer, I loved the contrast between the striking colours of the outfits against the worn faded colours of the paddle steamer. I was able to adjust my earlier patterns and create different outfits, this was the first time that I had used this type of pattern cutting and it really furthered my understanding in this craft. I was pleased with all of the outfits and so were my models.
