Custom-designed jacket - with an integrated, fully working PC - displayed at The Gadget Show exhibition last year, in collaboration with a technical design consultancy.

Developed ‘The Versus Concept’, a digital pattern-cutting programme which seeks to eliminate almost all fabric waste, and used the Concept to create and unveil latest collection at London Fashion Week.

Range of dresses, skirts and jumpsuits debuted on the Vauxhall Fashion Scout 2010 catwalk.

Currently working on

Further developing ‘The Versus Concept’ software and the idea that fashion designing could eventually be entirely digital, energy efficient and sustainable.

The young designer explained: “The Versus Concept programme allows me to digitally draw pattern pieces, and rotate and position them on screen before they’re cut out to make the most effective use of every inch of material.”

Objectives

Offer a design-while-you-wait service to customers in major department stores - creating bespoke pieces for customers using ‘The Versus Concept’ software.
