Hi, I’m Kira, a Fashion Design graduate from Northumbria University specialising in Womenswear and Print. My eye for detail and love for printed designs influences my unique design process. My portfolio showcases my graduate collection ‘The Domed City’, an A/W 2023 Womenswear Collection which also demonstrates a masculine approach to fashion focusing on sustainable design. The collection is inspired by the future of Antarctica, drawing on the idea of Richard Buckminster Fuller’s Domed Cities that would allow for a controlled climate inside. Taking oversized silhouette inspiration from Captain Scott VS Amundsen’s Race to the South Pole, the collection looks at archival garments worn by the explorers as a foundation to build on. The collection uses delicate fabrics such as silk twill and satin whilst also using heavier fabrics such as cotton drill. Prints have been driven by research into ice patterns and the Axel Heiberg Glacier that are at risk of melting due to global warming.
