AW23 Collection - “Play Work”
During Paris Fashion Week 2023, the British menswear brand presented its Fall collection, Playwork, inspired by comedian and playwright Oliver Samuels. Contributing to this project expanded my expertise beyond industrial design into the field of fashion design and production.
Design Role
Production Assistant - Bianca Saunders
As part of the production team, I was directly involved in developing clothing, bags, and shoes for the AW23 runway collection. I worked closely with the Production Coordinator, Pattern Makers, and Creative Director across all stages of product development and bulk production.
I experienced the full runway collection lifecycle: from developing initial toiles for fittings, sourcing fabrics, and liaising with manufacturers, to final preparations for the runway show.

Met Gala 2023
Production for Bianca Saunders
As part of the production team, I once again worked with the production team on the development for the Met Gala looks of Usher and Bianca Saunders. It was a valuable experience that broadened my perspective and deepened my understanding of luxury craftsmanship and master pattern making.

Set Design & Installation for the brand’s Pop-Up Event in Soho.
In late 2024, the British menswear brand hosted its first independent physical pop-up store, where I contributed to the set design and spatial layout for the event space in Soho.
Using 3D visualistation tools like SketchUp, I created concepts for the store’s interior layout and interaction hubs for brand activations within the space.
Once the design was finalised, I personally carried out the set-up and installation for the store, under the supervision of the lead set designer.
