Wood on Willows

 

Menswear clothing collection.

This project started in 2017 and took part in the SMUS Grad 2021 fashion show.

I was inspired by the mangroves lying on Willows beach, situated within the Oak Bay municipality's Lekwungen/Songhees traditional territory. Sitchanalth was the Indigenous name given to Willows beach, and it remains a famous historical site.

 
 

Inspiration was taken from the patterns on the wood bark.
