What is fashion?

Fashion is much more than just wearing clothes. It is a form of self-expression and an expression of our personality. Fashion allows us to express our individuality and our creative ideas. It not only reflects current trends, but also social and cultural developments. Ultimately, fashion is an art form that not only dresses us externally, but also reflects our identity and our relationship to the world.

The Power of my Hands

“The Power of my Hands” is a celebratory homage to my German grandmother who was a typical subordinate housewife and my punk mother who was a pioneer in the male dominated world of IT. Together they taught me the importance of being oneself and standing up for women’s rights. Through my knitwear I am looking into traditional craftsmanship and it’s relation to politics. Throughout my process I ask the question: How can feminism be expressed through craft today?

Destroy / Create

Destroy/Create is a technique inspired quote as well as a political commentary, where a simple white shirt is chemical burned in parts to reveal the text.
