FRAGMENTS

The collection explores the aesthetics of workwear. The aim was to look at the aesthetics from a different perspective. The marks of time like ageing, abrasion, decay and deconstruction fascinate me. In this collection I work with silhouettes like kimono, bomber and coat. I used authentic army garments such as backpack or jacket. The use of these components accentuates their origin and individual characteristics. One of the sources I drew from is Japanese culture and its heritage. I particularly studied the way zen buddhist monks perceive clothing or how they use throwaway fabrics.
