what bodies of water wear



why i wrote my dissertation on my bath.

november 2025



for my last year of fashion school i became really obsessed with the possibility of wearing the sea.

 i went home that summer, was a bit bored. it marked a year of really long and pointless
 trips to the nhs without really understanding what was wrong, if it was all in my head. 

i had these shared feelings with mini, the same pain. i was only okay if i woke up and felt liquid.

 i also understood i had curly hair after observing water on my hair. i went to paris where i wasn’t very liquid
 but got to think about why i studied fashion if i really didn’t love clothes. i love fashion but i am not big on clothes but i love fashion, i love to dress up, to have fun with it, as a medium, as something that combines different things  sound, image, touch, text, etc.

when i was bored thinking of this that summer i went home and looked at the water on my skin after leaving the sea.

 if my skin is wet, if i see the water on my skin, could it mean i am wearing the sea? 
can our bodily interactions with nature be a fashion experience?




this started my dissertation. i found out about hydrofeminism but it was very hard to explain it with 
academic language.i took a lot of baths to think and translate a liquid conceptinto a written one. i printed lots of things (my research) and put it on the bath walls.

 i invited jonathan anderson to come look at it but he never made it.

i love my bath. i have never had one before so i really cherish it. i light candles, watch something, wash my hair with a new garnier papaya serum and davines products.

 and, as of recently, i started using soap with an african sponge net and that’s my new reason to be happy.

 i might go into masters to write another
 dissertation and spend more time with this net.
