BUNGLER“Instead of our perception of beauty opening up, it’s becoming more narrow all the time. To make money, the industry is increasingly catering to the lowest common denomina-tor and, as far as the people who run the big companies are concerned, anything even slightly out of the ordinary frightens people. But anyone with a brain knows that it is the quirkiness and imperfection in a person that attracts other people.”

KILL YOUR

DARLINGSa collection based on Ying Tao

” To be not attached to a certain thing, allows you to be available to everything” is the vision I tried to cap-ture troughout the collec-tion. It tells a story about letting go of the things you are known and comfortable with and evolving into a new person.

SUBMERGEa 2020 collection

This collection represents my vision of the year 2020. A vision which is based on the flooding of my surround-ings in the future. A natural fenomenon which could possibly happen. How would we humans adapt? What would your world look like? What would we wear? How do we get from one place to the other? What if clothing becomes a vital part of our transportation? All questions I asked myself making this forecast of the future.
