Aminat Ibrahim

I am a passionate and detail-driven fashion design student with a strong interest in entering the fashion industry. My work focuses on soft, feminine aesthetics with a contemporary edge, drawing inspiration from nostalgic prints, texture layering, and playful silhouettes. I have hands-on experience in garment construction, draping, print design, and styling, and I’m eager to contribute creativity, precision, and dedication to a forward-thinking fashion team.

As a fashion design student, I have developed strong creative, technical, and conceptual skills throughout the creation of my collection, Bowtique Dreams. My work reflects a confident understanding of feminine aesthetics, garment construction, and design storytelling, blending playful motifs with elegant structure.

I am skilled in creating cohesive fashion collections from concept to final outcome, including moodboard development, colour palette selection, and fabric sourcing. I have hands-on experience in draping, toiling, pattern cutting, and sewing garments to a finished standard. I’ve explored a range of techniques such as ruching, pleating, lace application, and custom trims, with special focus on detail-led embellishments like bows and frills.

Print design is another key strength—I'm confident in developing original motifs and experimenting with placement using Adobe Photoshop (even on iPad). I’ve also conducted fabric testing and fabrication trials, including embroidery and tufting, to push material exploration further.

Styling and visual direction have played a strong role in my work, from layout planning in sketchbook pages to range planning and creating mock-ups for web and social platforms. My aesthetic reflects strong trend awareness and the ability to creatively direct a full visual identity.

I work confidently across both digital and physical mediums, using tools like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Canva, and Figma, and presenting my ideas clearly through sketching, flat drawings, and technical sheets. I’m highly organised, self-motivated, and bring a clear visual language to all my work—playful, soft, and powerful.
