A fusion of 1970's patchwork and 2000's miniskirts. Incorporating draping inspired by Grecian dress to create an amalgamation of old and new. Using the notion of patchwork as a design idea, but also exploring the use of continued patchworking to increase longevity of a singular garment. The mixing of old a new relating back to a garment that has lasted through the Ages.
