The Modern
Dandy

I created a pink and green suit paired with a Liberty's floral shirt, inspired by the idea of the modern dandy.

The look plays with bold colour and pattern to challenge traditional menswear, drawing on classic tailoring and reimagining it in a contemporary way.

The styling and design choices are all about confidence and self-expression.
