"Twilight in the Feathered Wood" - The feathers, silk fabrics and resplendent headpieces in this beautiful collection create a Wonderland image in my mind. The creamy feathered gown has likeness to a wedding dress; the golden ensemble is elegant and extravagant.

"Manx Idol" - This collection was inspired by YouTube performer Beckii Cruel, who gained international Internet fame by dancing to Japanese music. The predominant pattern of the collection is the blue and yellow tartan check.

"Metamorphosis of Narcissus" - Clothing in this collection makes use of plastic, steel wire and electricity in the designs. Battery-powered light bulbs illuminate futuristic styled fashions, with pops of colour to add extra zing. Though on a more personal observation, doesn't the first outfit of this collection remind you of a certain Marvel superhero?

Alternative Fashion Week ~ Katie Hebditch & Hayley Kiley

"Sonic Wasteland" - Inspired by contemporary underground music, fusing sports and street fashion, with an eclectic array of geometric patterns and colours. My favourite aspect of this collection is the oversized zips designed into the men's tracksuit.

Alternative Fashion Week ~ City & Islington College

"City Dwellers" - Designed in collaboration with up-cycling womenswear company 'Thrifty Couture', using recycled suits, shirts and ties. Plenty of layers and patterned structures, reminiscent of city life.
