This project was an incredibly positive process for me. I feel it marks a new way of thinking, a new way of designing, and a new way of collaborating. Down the path I would love to share a detailed breakdown of the work but for now I’ll keep to the essentials.

Building directly on the work created in Fashion Sculpture One, this project seeks to further explore the core concept: Personification of the Garden. This journey was informed by research into Japanese Gardens. The book “A Japanese Touch for your Garden”, by Kiyoshi Seike, Masanobu Kud­­o and David H. Engel with photography by Haruzo Ohashi, was an invaluable resource.

I would like to extend a huge thank you to the team who helped me both realise and expand my vision: Photography: Felicitas Fuchs - @felicitrix / Model: Ellie Noir - @hellienoir / Project Assistant: Kamara Gutierez - @zkgutier / Shoot Assistant: Beatriz Francisco Severino - @beatrizfranciz

Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy the work, MJ Xx
