'Suited', created as part of Catriona's studies at Gray's School of Art. Is a collection built around characters who exist outside the boundaries of conventional society. The collection weaves together fashion, textile, and costume design to dress the complex, layered lives of those who reject, or have been rejected by, the mainstream. Drawing on themes of rural life, femininity, masculinity, queerness, and creative freedom, McLean interrogates how far the definition of suiting can be stretched when placed in the hands of self-expression. With a strong grounding in materiality and historic referencing, each piece is rooted in real life, art, and cinema, asking what clothing becomes when it is freed from its role as a tool of standardisation.Catriona McLean
