Beyond Borders.

Design project

‘Beyond Borders’

Dazed 2023.

Inspired by the journey of my great nana Ruth, who emigrated from Lithuania to the UK in the 1950s.

This collection merges traditional Lithuanian textiles, pattern and motifs with the iconic fashion trends of 1950s Britain. A Fusion of Lithuanian folk costumes with 1950s hourglass shapes, A-line skirts, and fitted bodices, creating a unique blend that celebrates both her heritage and her new home.

Aiming to honour the legacy of Lithuanian immigrants and their integration into British culture, creating fashion pieces that are both historically rich and contemporary.
