“The way I look at fashion – and I didn’t grow up with fashion in my life, it rather fell in my lap-,” says Murphy as she recounts her childhood, “but fashion brings out that confidence in people. And I like to design based around that.” Murphy considers herself a “going against the grain” type of designer.
There are no rules, no boundaries, and no genders when she creates what she does. She also likes to use herself as inspiration for what she designs by asking herself what someone like her who prefers androgynous clothing would wear. Through these clothes, Murphy’s goal is to create outfits that both genders can wear. She not only wants the wearer to feel good, but she also wants to associate her clothes with bold confidence.
