Victoria Patterson
2023 Future Oceans Runway Designer
National Academic Director / Instructor at the Visual College of Art and Design / Designer of Trippy Hippy Clothing.
“My passion is in creating and sharing with others the skills I've learned, helping guide those on their educational journey to take the first step into the Fashion Industry.”
My work is about the emergence of the "new normal," with the need to evolve as consumers and as a worldwide collective.
Taking a step back to "plant the seeds of growth," and realizing the dire straights we, as a fashion community, have allowed our industry to evolve into.
Speaking out and educating others is the reason for this collection, and a hopeful means of starting communication about the issues facing our oceans and the world we live in.
Victoria’s wearable art is made from: eco-sustainable materials, recycled materials, reclaimed ocean plastic materials, organic materials
