My name is Lennart Krause and I am a german fashion and costume designer, based in Hamburg where I also got my Bachelors Degree in Fashion Design.

“I firmly believe that the question should never be WHAT we create, but rather WHY we create.”

Coming from a working class family, my perspective on life and society has always been heavily influenced by imbalances and inequalities. This now reflects in my intentions as a multidisciplinary artist: Creating awareness for social injustice and abuse of wealth, power and authority.

My conceptual fashion and custome work challenges the way we think about our own position in society, using the elements of parody and irony. I have come to learn that my strongest weapon in design is humor, creating satirical stories to reach a broad audience and, more or less obvious, integrating political themes in them. My origins and continuous voluntary work in the social sector and the people I got to meet there shapes the way I constantly rethink my own creative output.
