Degree Show 2023

In March 2021, 200 young people participated in this photographic series. The project was born out of the excitement to dress up again. The COVID-19 pandemic was still taking its toll in Glasgow, and we were in our third lockdown. I was missing my dancing shoes, live music and art events, I saw this project as an opportunity to find the joy of performance and eccentricity that we had all been yearning for in lockdown. ‘What’s Your Favourite Outfit to Dance In?’ aims to capture the fashions and energies of the students in Glasgow. If people were missing dressing up and going out, they could drop me a line to be part of a unique project from the comfort of their own front doors.

The book was collaboratively designed with Tom Ive a graduate of the Communication Design course specialising in graphic design.
