About Me
Kelly Isaac
Kelly lives in a small village in Mid Wales she always wanted to live in a city to chase her creative passion. University has allowed Kelly to follow what she loves and being able to explore a bigger environment. Kelly's arrival at university was scary and nerve-rack, as this was a big change for her. However, she has made friends and memories for a lifetime.
Kelly broke the barriers of her cocoon and sawed higher than she could have ever imagined. She thrived in her subject area, developing her skills until she was a highly accomplished professional fashion designer.
INSPIRATION
Social Butterfly - Growth, transformation, love and happiness
In a lockdown, I created a business creating customised rugs. I applied this to my final fashion major project as I wanted to see if I could use this textile technique and create it in fashion. I was able to use this skillset to apply alternative materials to my designs giving them a unique edge.
My concept ‘Social Butterfly’ is inspired by 2000s, Y2K pop culture mixed with childhood nostalgia. Inspired by escapism from the COVID- 19 pandemic, the collection aims to bring freedom, comfort, and memories of simpler times. Escaping lockdown and being able to be free again, socialising with our friends, and family and having fun bringing this idea to life in my collection and concept. Reliving childhood dreams creates a character, making a childhood dream come true.

The concept behind the Social Butterfly collection developed from researching the early 2000s, Y2K pop culture mixed with childhood nostalgia. Inspired by escapism from the COVID- 19 pandemic, the collection aims to bring freedom, comfort, and memories of simpler times. Escaping lockdown and being able to be free again, socialising with our friends, family and having fun bringing this idea to life in my collection and concept. Reliving childhood dreams creates a character, making a childhood dream come to life and being able to wear it. Reliving this fantasy, you dreamt about as a young child and being able to recreate it as an adult (Kid-adult) Creates a joyful expression of life being carefree and embodying our youth into adulthood, being playful and fun with our outfits. Key shapes and symbols have been applied to the garments and accessories such as love hearts and butterflies to show love, growth, positivity, happiness, and freedom.
