The Psychological Impact of Fashion Choices on Self-Concept and Self-Esteem

I am a fashion professional specialising in advanced pattern cutting, garment technology, and sample development. My work explores how clothing impacts self-concept and self-esteem through construction, silhouette, and fabrication. This project reconstructs iconic couture garments from luxury houses including Valentino, Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, and The Row. Using photographic analysis, I translate each design into precise flat patterns and 3D forms, applying traditional and modern techniques. Each piece is engineered for structural integrity, fit, and finish, showcasing technical excellence. Through this, I highlight how refined garment construction empowers wearers and communicates identity, confidence, and cultural expression.
