‘In today's society, you are a walking advertisement for who you are with what you wear playing a major part in everyone's perception of you […]. Growing up in the city of London, you are constantly surrounded by change and creativity; everyone competing to be unique. Personal style can be the best way to express yourself. This is mainly due to the superficial and ‘face value’ mentality that society has ingrained. For example, social media, where an instagram feed has the ability to dictate your status in our generations hierarchy.’

Valentina inspired by a Dazed and Confused interview with fashion designer Mimi Wade, created a selection of garments that also consider ideas about identity in an urban context.
