“The theme of new beginnings has inspired me to create a garment that feels free but still recognises and appreciates the five weeks of lockdown. It represents a second chance after lockdown to make changes and explore our own country. This two piece set tells a story from start to lockdown to now.
The X shape on the back of the top is showing how we were closed from each other and our normal day to day tasks. The open part of the back also shows how no one really how long it would be until we were back to normal or what normal was going to look like after lockdown.
Lockdown gave me a feeling of being trapped and there was no definite end date. I have displayed the feeling of being trapped in the pants of this set as the front wrap with the buckle on the side shows how we were confined to our bubbles. But the pants also represent a new way of life, as we all have adapted during this time whether it be working from home, online classes, or even catching up with friends and family over skype. The final piece of the story ties in the theme of new beginnings. Lockdown taught me to explore my own country and to appreciate the little things like human interaction.”
