My FMP concept explores the working men of Liverpool, specifically the old dock workers and their religious relationship with football. Being from Liverpool myself, this topic resonated with me and gave me many personal pathways to explore. My research led me to The Dockers Strikes of 1995-1998, looking into the dockers uniforms, the policing around the strikes and the many banners and flags present during the strikes. The Casual subculture was another inspiration to me, as I explored their style and what a match-day looked like for them. Although formed from a male centric concept, this womenswear collection combines sportswear, streetwear and workwear in a contemporary and chic way.
