I’ve always had little superstations throughout my life – things like getting bad luck if you step over three drains in the street, and being taught that magpie rhyme (“One for sorrow, two for joy...”) by my family when I was younger. So when I started thinking about a concept for my final year project, I immediately knew I wanted to focus on good- and bad-luck charms. 

I also knew that I wanted to include a lot of denim in my designs – I wear it a lot and really like the look of it, but beyond that, denim is always going to be on-trend so it felt like that would make my designs more sustainable and long-lasting.
