About Me

Hi! I am Angelica, a fashion design student, from Uni of Bolton.

A graduating fashion design student, with a focus on creative storytelling through my garments. My work draws inspiration from music, emotion and transformative themes of self-discovery, healing, and resilience.

With a strong interest in the emotional connection between clothing and identity. I aim to design the pieces not only to dress the body but also to empower the spirit. My recent collection reflects a narrative-driven approach blending soft silhouettes with structured contrasts; it is inspired by the BTS song Stay Gold.

INSPIRATION

Fashion to me is a language.

I envision my career evolving towards becoming a fashion designer and a stylist for public figures and working with major fashion houses in Europe, where I can grow creatively while learning from the industry. With a deep appreciation for concept-based fashion and a Gen-Z-driven understanding of cultural trends, I aspire to bring meaningful visuals and experiences to both editorial and real-life moments.

MY WORK

PORTFOLIOS

DETAIL

Growing up, I was always drawn to the idea of transformation.

How a look can shift a person’s energy and confidence. Whether it was watching fashion documentaries or styling looks for friends, I saw clothing as something more than material; it was a way to create moments and memories. Over time, I became fascinated with the emotional impact of fashion, especially how visuals can reflect inner stories. My process often begins with a feeling—a song, a memory, or even a word—and then I build from there. I enjoy working conceptually, blending softness with boldness, and always aim to bring out a sense of narrative in the looks I create. I’m especially drawn to detail and finish, whether that’s through layering, fabric choices, or subtle symbolism in each piece. As I take the next step in my career, I’m looking to gain experience with established fashion houses or styling teams where I can continue to learn and grow.

For me, fashion is both a mirror and a window—a way of seeing ourselves and imagining who we could become.
