redress Design Award Collection
Jasmine’s Redress Design Award 2021 collection ‘Stay true’ is inspired by the innocence of childhood. Reflecting on the pandemic and its impact on what we value, she looks to remind the wearer of their pre-adult dreams, and to believe in and love themselves. Jasmine reconstructs graduation gowns - representing great sentimental value - along with surplus production fabrics using zero-waste pattern cutting to feminine sculptural silhouettes designed to be mixed and matched for maximum use. To extend the lifespan of these meaningful garments, she creates three dimensional flower patterns, heart shapes and ruffles with zero-waste design techniques to enrich layering and enhance the volume of the clothing.
