Welcome to my Fashion portfolio
Welcome! My name is Aariyanna Morrison, I am incredibly passionate about fashion, and I draw inspiration from cultures and styles from all around the world. My designs are influenced by everything I see and experience art, people, travel, street style, and even everyday moments. I love how fashion can tell a story, reflect identity, and capture the energy of different places and communities. I believe fashion should be fun, fearless, and for everyone. No matter your size, gender, or nationality, style is a powerful way to express who you are. This belief inspires me to create pieces that feel inclusive, bold, and full of personality. I am especially inspired by statement looks that push boundaries and stand out. I love mixing patterns, playing with textures, and blending different styles whether it’s combining past trends with modern influences or experimenting with unexpected details. A lot of my creativity comes from seeing how trends evolve and come back in new, exciting ways.
Fashion truly is my heart and soul, and my portfolio is a reflection of my creativity, inspirations, and individuality. I hope you enjoy exploring it as much as I loved bringing it to life
My Melbourne Fashion week Dress design
This design I call: Pearl of the ball
I designed and created my own dress for Melbourne Fashion Week, drawing inspiration from the Rococo era to create a magical, Cinderella-inspired look.
I began by developing my initial design sketch in Photoshop to visualise the silhouette and overall aesthetic. I chose a high-low design to highlight the intricate details of the bodice while showcasing the statement boots, I styled with the outfit. To create a cohesive look, I embellished the boots with dangling pearls that complemented the dress.
I hand-sewed the corset and embellished the bodice with pearls, incorporating additional hand-beading and dangling pearl details on the sleeves. I also created a decorative waist belt using ribbon fabric, which I hand-sewed with pearls arranged to resemble flowers. To maximise the materials and preserve the intricate beadwork, I repurposed leftover embellished fabric from the waist and incorporated it into the lower section of the corset.
Finally, I hand-draped and sewed the skirt directly onto the mannequin to achieve the desired silhouette and finish. This project allowed me to showcase my skills in garment construction, hand embellishment, draping, styling, and creative design.
This is me in the dress I designed, I even got the chance to be on Melbourne fashion week stories as well as many amazing photographers pages.

More of my designs:
This collection is called "Belle Garden," the collection is inspired by French spring fashion, blending elegance with versatility. The name “Belle,” meaning beautiful in French, reflects the collection’s feminine aesthetic. I incorporated breathable floral French fabrics and elements of contemporary French fashion to create adaptable pieces suited for changing weather. My favorite aspect about my design is the multifunctional dress that transforms into a handbag. Its detachable, reversible bottom panel buttons off to shorten the dress and can be refastened to form a bohemian-style bag, with the side ties converting into handles. This piece highlights both innovation and sustainability within the collection.
The design is called, Suede Hickory, features a fall jacket designed with warm brown and tan tones, crafted from suede leather. The jacket is detailed with contrasting brown stitching, two front pockets, and a ribbed collar for added structure and comfort. Blending classic autumn colors with refined craftsmanship, it is a timeless and versatile piece ideal for the fall season.
