The garments which make up Musson’s 2025 collection may be considered wearable art. She shares a love for gardens intent on immersing her audience in an abundance of joyful colour and form. She tells a personal story and shares a piece of herself. “I grew up surrounded by gardens that exude colour and beauty, and these places became my safe space.” She dreams, one day, of curating her own garden and becoming lost in the magnificence of nature. Musson wishes to share this vibrancy and optimism with her viewers and submerge them in sensory experiences where colour, shape and form inspire limitless imagination. This is about gardens as a place of rest, joy and belonging; It is about growth, immersion and romantic mystery.

Throughout this project Musson follows the complex and unexpected love story of King Nebuchadnezzar and his wife Amytis of Media (630-565 BC). “I relate to Amytis as we share a desire to be constantly immersed in nature.” Nebuchadnezzar and Amytis’ romantic and power charged relationship created a wonder of the world that remains a mystery to this day: The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Amytis yearned to be engulfed in the landscape of her memory and imagination. In an act of idealistic, all-encompassing love - or perhaps a boastful display of his abilities - King Nebuchadnezzar created an impossible garden that defied physics and engineering; An architectural phenomenon of beauty, grandeur and mass. Her collection is inspired by this awe-inspiring abundance of pattern and structure.
