Ellis Yuille's GSA graduate collection included knitted denim, soft, thick durable and textural. 

My collection is a celebration of inclusivity, individuality, and self-expression through the power of oversized clothing. Designed to create a sense of mystery around the body, the silhouettes encourage freedom from the constraints of traditional fit, allowing wearers to embrace their own shape without judgment. Each piece invites the wearer to choose how they interact with the garment―whether worn loosely draped or cinched to contour the form―offering space for personal interpretation and playful self-styling.

Crafted from a dynamic combination of denim and knit to replicate denim, the collection presents a visual and tactile collision of contrasting materials. This clash of textures serves as a metaphor for the rebellious, boundary-pushing energy rooted in street culture―a subculture that thrives on resistance, creativity, and self-made identity. By working with second-hand denim, surplus yarns, and repurposed materials, I embrace the raw, DIY ethos of the community, reinforcing the idea that fashion can be both expressive and resourceful.

This collection is designed for everyone―regardless of gender, size, or background. It champions full expressionism, inviting each wearer to style, interpret, and move within the garments in their own unique way. With fluid silhouettes and adjustable elements, the pieces are intentionally non-restrictive, allowing the wearer to feel empowered, seen, and entirely themselves. It is not just clothing―it’s a canvas for individuality. Ellis Yuille
