Winners of Doors of Perception Collaboration Revealed
Fida Worldwide is proud to announce the winners of its latest creative collaboration with the brand Doors of Perception and its founder, the iconic fashion designer Patrick Cox. The project invited artists from across the community to respond to a psychedelic-inspired brief, bringing together art and fashion in a way that felt both instinctive and experimental.
Set against the vibrant, artistic backdrop of Ibiza, Doors of Perception is known for its distinctive fusion of soulful design and individuality.
Born from a transformative move to Ibiza and a journey of psychedelic healing, Patrick Cox’s "entheogenic apparel" bypasses the mainstream to replace corporate trends with sacred symbolism and highly detailed, ethical embroidery.
For this collaboration, Patrick Cox personally reviewed a diverse range of submissions, each offering a unique interpretation of the theme.
Four artists were shortlisted for their commendable work:
- Kelly Bailey
- Susanna Gomez
- Fulya Ceker
- Nina Ricarda
Among them, Kelly Bailey was selected as the overall winner. Her refined and original approach, combining botanical elements with subtle occult influences, stood out for its strong alignment with the creative direction of Doors of Perception. Kelly wins a prize of £500 to spend with the brand.
Fulya Ceker was awarded First Runner-Up, receiving £100 to spend with the brand. Patrick also appreciated Fulya’s pop and psychedelic designs, particularly her watercolour work with “dirty pastel” colours that reminded him of the Holi Festival in India.

Susanna Gomez secured Second Runner-Up, also receiving £100 to spend with the brand. Her accessory concepts were particularly praised, with standout pieces including her neckerchiefs and brooches.

A special mention goes to Nina Ricarda, whose work captured the attention of Patrick Cox. While her designs were ultimately not suited to embroidery due to their screen-print nature, her creativity was recognised and celebrated.
This collaboration highlights Fida Worldwide’s ongoing commitment to championing emerging talent and creating meaningful opportunities for artists to engage with leading brands in the fashion industry.
Huge thanks to all the artists who took part, and congratulations to our winners. It’s been an absolute pleasure partnering with the ever-influential Patrick Cox and Doors of Perception.
