1RRAD1AT3D: is a collection set in a post–nuclear winter landscape, exploring the aftermath of human conflict through fashion as storytelling. Each couture piece reflects the physical and psychological scars of radiation on human, animal, and plant life, transforming garments into performance art.
Exaggerated silhouettes, distressed textures, and transformative materials evoke mutation, decay, and survival. Developed through a fusion of traditional craftsmanship and digital pattern cutting in CLO3D, the work incorporates intricate embellishment and hand-sewn couture techniques. The collection serves as both a warning against nuclear and chemical warfare and an ode to human resilience in the face of self-destruction.

Hi, I'm Elise. I am an aspiring custom dressmaker and costume seamstress, specialising in occasional and theatrical wear. I am deeply drawn to hands-on craftsmanship and tactile creation, and I constantly expand my practice by learning new skills and exploring diverse handicrafts. I enjoy integrating unconventional techniques from my personal interests into my fashion design work, allowing each project to evolve with innovation and intention. Inspired by alternative and avant-garde fashion, I prioritise strong conceptual storytelling in my designs, ensuring every piece communicates a clear, meaningful message while maintaining a high standard of technical skill and artistry.
