The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2026 - Issue 39

bitefashion UNIVERSITY OF Jahnvi Deshlahra Jahnvi Deshlahra’s ‘Through The Years’ collection captured the essence of Rajasthani heritage, blend- ing traditional Indian craftsmanship with a fresh, contemporary perspective. Inspired by the vibrant hues of blue pottery, delicate floral motifs, and the timeless scalloped forms of Jharokha architecture, the collection bridged tradition and innovation, inviting wearers to embrace timeless craftsmanship in their everyday lives. @jdfashionkeeps Megan McMillan Megan McMillan’s ‘Forever Funky’ collection is about attitude and not letting age dictate what you wear. Featuring a bold, vibrant, and playful colour palette with a range of pattern-clashing effects, it uses animal prints, florals, and geometrics. Illustra- tion is one of Megan’s favourite parts of the process, bringing ideas to life on paper before they hit the sewing machine. Maximalist interiors inspire the colour, print, trims, and detailing, while the pieces encourage individuality and creativity. @Mmcm_fashion Bethany Gregson Bethany Gregson’s ‘Worn With Purpose’ womens- wear collection is inspired by her siblings growing up wearing each other’s clothes following the ‘hand me down’ tradition. The elements of her collection are sourced from charity shops and patchworked together, creating texture through knotting and knitting techniques inspired by research on archive photography of street urchin children. @bethsdropsoffashion Aisha Irfan Aisha Irfan's collection combined flowing silhou- ettes, rich textures, and sculptural floral elements, creating romantic garments with a strong sense of drama and detail. @aishairfandesigns CENTRAL LANCASHIRE
