365 DRESSES PROJECT

 

 

 

365 Dresses was an artistic project I created to explore the boundaries of fashion styling, experimenting with different personas and self-expression. From May to September 2015, I aimed to wear a curated outfit each day, styled entirely from upcycled and vintage clothing. Through this project, I also explored modelling—though not professionally—and used fashion as a way to reflect on identity, sustainability, and conscious consumption. Although the project was cut short after around 30 outfits, it remains an important reflection on ethical fashion, creativity, and the value of reusing clothing.

Vintage Grace

In this vintage-inspired look, I channel the essence of bygone fashion, embodying the grace of a young woman just beginning her journey in the world, bringing  optimism to life. The outfit is my subtle nod to the past, infused with a timeless sense of femininity and poise.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Highland Ride
Standing next to a vintage Vespa scooter, dressed in a cotton coat and a Highland-style flat hat, I look as though I'm just about to embark on a ride (to a supermarket). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Embracing 90s
In this outfit, I embrace the relaxed, carefree energy of the 90s. This look captures the youthful spirit of the era, reminiscent of basketball celebrities and hip-hop culture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Navigating Style
The outfit channels a sense of navigating between different identities or roles, with a whimsical, nautical touch.
