HOLDING DEAR - FINAL YEAR COLLECTION
Preservation, The act of “holding dear” to things while acknowledging the inevitable passage of time. In today’s fast-paced world, there are objects and memories of sentimental value that we wish to keep close, yet we must also learn to let go and make space for change. This duality forms the heart of my collection, which explores the tension between nostalgia and renewal through the lens of a fusion between streetwear and feminine aesthetic. Holding Dear encourages the practice of giving things a chance at a second life.
This collection was produced with 100% upcycled denim and lace materials and deadstock fabrics.

Revelare - by Cayla James
my very first capsule collection
Revelare explores the duality of the fashion industry—its captivating allure and the hidden, darker elements. Inspired by the industry’s glamour, creativity, and beauty, it also unveils the exploitation, pressure, and consumerism behind the scenes. Through bold contrasts, deconstruction and silhouettes, Revelare challenges viewers to confront the truths that lie beneath the surface, blending opulence with stark reality to reveal fashion’s untold story.
Ignorance is no longer bliss.
