About Me
Menswear designer specialising in Luxury Outerwear
I’m Georgia, A graduate in Fashion Design and Technology specialising in outerwear. I enjoy the challenge of researching into new technologies that provides the customer with high protection but also doesn’t harm the planet. I'm passionate about making functional clothing artful without losing the innovations that protect us from all-weather environments.
The Mission GV000-24 collection is designed for exploration of urban areas and the surrounding landscapes. With adaptability and high-quality technical features these garments are for the purpose of exploring the city or the harsh English weather landscapes. I enjoy the challenge of researching into new technologies that provides the customer with the highest protection but also doesn’t harm the planet such as PrimaLoft Recycled fibres.
INSPIRATION
Space Exploration to Real World Exploration
My final year has consisted of collections with research into material innovations such as wool and PrimaLoft, and breaking boundaries within menswear design through considered pattern and colour schemes. Prior to my final year I completed a 13th month internship at a Menswear brand producing Luxury, Performance - Grade apparel as a Design and Development Intern. This gave me experience in designing garments for polar exploration, which taught me how to design for the harshest environments on the planet.
For a deeper understanding of space exploration, I was lucky enough to speak with Tess Morris-Patterson who worked at the NASA research centre, California. She explained space suits and space shuttles are white and silver due to their ability to reflect light which allows for body temperature control due to the temperature in space changing consistently. This informed my colour palette by using colours like silver that regulate the body temperature.

PrimaLoft® ThermoPlume®
PrimaLoft is a global leader in advanced material technology to research into Down (Goose feather) alternative insulations. PrimaLoft ThermoPlume is made entirely out of post-consumer recycled materials. It looks like Down, feels like Down, delivers high thermal performance and has proven a soft, compressible thermal output, even in wet conditions. PrimaLoft® kindly donated 40 kg of ThermoPlume® towards my final collection.
