Evoking themes of melancholy and darkness were central to Nishil's shoot and quite a lot of my early garment explorations foretold stories of pain and anguish particularly throughout my second year study at the Arts University Bournemouth. This became the driving force for the shoot which took place on the cliffs of Hengistbury Head with close friend and personal fit model Lucile Mazeaud. Using the Infamous "Birds" movie as told by Alfred Hitchcock inspired many of the shots amongst tall grass, high winds and grey skies.
