Hi, My name is Azura and I'm a English Fashion design student studying in Berlin. I am currently starting my final semester at my university, and I am looking for some help!! Although my financial situation and funds are very low, I want to be able to afford a small budget to help pay for the materials and also the production costs of this project! :)

Here is a bit more about me and this project:

I am very very passionate about fashion design and believe it is a strong tool for connection and inclusivity. Being able to express myself through art has enabled me to experience parts of life and new emotions I never thought was possible. This graduation project is a very personal topic and draws from the feelings of neurodivergence and childhood. Through my clothing and the photography/film, I want to be able to bring an immersive world for the viewer, one that shows a melancholic, angst but also a creative universe, that I once felt as a child. This project is based in nostalgia and escapism, and encaptures a lot of feeling I felt as a child. It is based off of the connection I felt with nature and its importance in my life. Being neurodivergent, it felt always a struggle to make friends or close connections with people for a large part of my childhood and I want to create this project as a healing experience but also as a homage to a lot of people in the world that feel the same.

I feel very privileged to be able to even think about doing a project like this. My parents have fought and worked hard for me to be able to be here, and are my greatest role models in hard work pays off. Although having to finance things like this myself, my finances have always been a struggle especially in this fashion degree for costs of materials, and I really would love for it not to be a strong barrier in completing my dream bachelor project with people I love.

I have organised a really talented and wonderful team that care a lot about this matter, and I am really excited to work with them to create a meaningful project that can apply a good narrative into the world. Therefore, I would like to be able to provide as much as I can to these people to help them on the creative commitment to this project.

Here is how the funds will be used:
