I wanted to get a use out of all the old bedding we were throwing away so I designed these green trousers. the are lightweight and flowy, and their light colouring makes them perfect for a garden party in this hot weather.

I printed this t-shirt that reads 'Covid-19 updates' vs 'every other news event' to highlight how much news of the virus had taken over the media.
