My Final Collection Creeped Out, explores the larger than life image and character of Clowns. Adopting the narrative of ‘clowns aren’t all fun and laughter’ I have creatively explored the common belief that clowns are quite creepy! Inspired by my Muse Villanelle of Killing Eve fame, I have combined exaggerated proportions, with dramatic details, luxury fabrics and a stark mono colour palette. The hand painted red mouth offers a disturbing accent on selected pieces, reminding the wearer of the twisted inspiration.
