Olof Runmarker is an emerging fashion designer who gives new life to recycled materials, making one-of-a-kind pieces at the highest standards. His family created and owns their last name, so a monogram that plays with the alliteration of ‘R’ has been created, to become a strong and recognisable element for the brand. This symbol is applied and treated in different ways throughout the whole identity. A logotype has been crafted, too, putting emphasis on the ‘R’s.

Multidisciplinary artist Yamuna Forzani’s practice centers around a desire to build her queer utopia that celebrates her community, making them part of and inspiration of her creative outputs. Yamuna’s work takes form through textile, she explores the medium in collaboration with other design, artistic and social initiatives – often involving, organising events, dance performances, embedding fashion and costume, public art and versatile installations.

Football scarves are made for supporters and statements. With this scarf I support democracy and stand against racism and nazis. The message: Scheiss Nazis (german for fuck nazis).

In a cross-cultural project, five students reused materials from Ulaanbaatar and Mainz. One of them transformed a banner designed for the previous end-of-semester exhibition into a waterproof bag. The typography of the banner formed the appearance of the bag, while minimal new accessories complemented the sturdy look and emphasised the project’s ethos of reuse and creativity.

Complex Pleasures has been taking care of the visual affairs of Neo-Kraut band Zement for some time now. For their 2023 tour, CP have created a typo-driven design for shirts and longsleeves, matching the band’s sometimes ironic take on contemporary Krautrock music, exploring new visual paths in the field of Rock music merchandising.

Accompanying the launch of their new visual studio Complex Pleasures, Philipp Dittmar and Sabrina Zeltner started to release a series of products: the Complex Products – visually appealing and making life a little better. CP001 is warm and cosy: A merino bobble hat, coming in three color ways featuring a bold typo driven design.

Research has found that facial expression differences between countries can lead to communication misunderstandings. “The Face” project examines the differences in facial expressions between the East and the West. I visualized the differences in facial expressions through typography and book design. And I used glossy mirror paper, pull-out pages and sulphate paper in the books to communicate the results more effectively. It provides a reference for people in cross-cultural communication.

This scarf is the result of a positive escapist practice. During the project, the artist maintained the habit of practicing a meditative, mantralike technique every day, to cut down on the hours spent with negative escapist habits. At the end of the process, a real (wearable) typographic object has been made, however, the result is not more important than the process. The color of the yarn is changed every day, thus time spent with knitting is documented in the object itself.

Embroidery, like many techniques in textile arts, is about repeating the same set of motions over and over and over. In this project, the motions are perfectly repeated by the computer. Although this way, nothing is made. The missing thing is the labor itself and the human performing it.

After years of design education, the artist finally made her first zine. To do this, she chose a time-consuming, monotonous technique, knitting. The pages of this zine show stages of the process and give a sense of the passage of the time spent knitting.

Today’s consumer society promotes a fast pace of life and a waste of resources. To enhance the importance of sustainability the multidisciplinary artist Youri Precht also known as C.REAL is devoted to the topic of “upcycling”.
The pages of his editorial project consist of 100% old fabrics.
His book is intended to serve as a catalog which inspires, stimulates ideas and shows examples of the possible techniques available to upcycle old clothes and fabric leftovers.

I am You is a new fashion statement. I am reflection of your taste, desires, insecurities, dreams and so much more. I am the mirror of your imagination. I am the before and afterthought.

This garment encourages, to turn your inside out, basically to share feelings and thoughts we normally keep for ourselves.
The inside out theme should extend throughout the garment which is done in two ways:
The garment itself is turned inside out showing the inner seams.
Additionally, the hand-embroidered word “inside” is also turned vice versa. So the imperfect side with knots and loose threads points outwards.
It whoops: Show your beautiful mess!

The Local Badass range is born from a profound appreciation for local communities and their pivotal role in cultural evolution. It’s a tribute to the skaters of each locale, who collectively shape and preserve the roller skate culture. The logo, bold and dynamic, mirrors the spirit of the roller skating scene, with vibrant colors and strong typography. It reflects the energy, passion, and individuality of participants who find expression and connection through this culture.

Proun Society is a virtual haute couture founded by Edwin Mohney. It breaks through limitations using AI to reinterpret fashion archives.

In this project, we integrated this approach into our design system by deconstructing and reassembling various languages strokes into novel visual symbols to create a fictional dictionary. This strategy aims to bridge communication gaps across disciplines, enriching the narrative with new layers.
