OCEAN DECAY – MOODBOARD My Ocean Decay collection derived from research into plastic pollution in the ocean and motivation of wanting to make a change. Taking inspiration from a mix of industrial clothing and textures found in the sea such as ghost fishing nets and coral, my collection developed into a dark, illustrative and textural look featuring oversized clothing, draping materials and linear prints. OCEAN DECAY – FINAL LINE UP My final line up consists of a mix of recycled materials such as fishing net and wool yarns knitted into a macrame texture along with organic denims and bamboo and cotton jerseys. This industrial looking collection features an all-over illustrative screen print of rope entan- gled in coral in various colour combinations and a digitally printed organic cotton saying ‘or- ganic and sustainable, save our seas and no plastic’. Smaller details such as laser cut buttons and buckles, jute pull strings and black metal eyelets, make an appearance on all garments. OCEAN DECAY – OUTFIT 1 BOARD Outift 1 consists of an orange denim boilersuit with an all-over print of coral entangled in rope. Flat-felled seams with white top stitching feature across the garment with an exposed zip and a jute pullstring through black metal eyelets.

Boxy boilersuits and jackets combined with long, hanging fishing net sleeves, work to- gether to create an industrial style collection featuring various textures and details. The different fabrics used create different fits to the garments, the denim garments being much more structured and the jersey and softer fabrics hanging off the body. OCEAN DECAY – PRINT AND PATTERN BOARD Ocean Decay features one main textiles print of coral entangled in rope in various colourways scross the garments, The same illustrations have been turned into a statement embroidery piece on the back of the jacket. The macrame resembles a fishing net texture and the smaller coloured patches attached to it, reflect coral growing on this disregarded net left in the sea.
