Siobhan is studying a Fashion studies degree at the University of Lincoln and has been pursuing an interest in the fashion industry for many years. Her collection for the ‘Ready to Wear’ category is called ‘Modern Geisha’ and is heavily influenced by Japanese street style and culture. This is no surprise as Siobhan particularly enjoys researching different cultures and societies to gain inspiration.

Siobhan studied origami to stimulate ideas and used the folds and pleats she learnt in her garments. She was also enthused by the ‘Lolita’ look and used legwarmers and over the knee socks to portray this. Siobhan finds satisfaction in pushing her boundaries to test her own capabilities. She enjoys the feeling of creating something unique and is looking forward to meeting “likeminded designers” at the MYFDA and believes it will be a very “memorable and valuable experience.”
