WITH:OUTLIER
In their lives, people are often accompanied and influenced by moving stories. Such a story shaped this collection.
The black sheep stands out in the white herd, just like the genius of the broad mass - both enrich life by their very existence. They are outliers in a very special way!
The majority determines what is different. A statement, whether something different is good or bad, can’t be taken automatically - it is simply different and actually value-neutral, as long as society does not make any pretensions.
Our personality and what we do, for example, are increasingly publicly displayed in the social media and evaluated by everyone! We have presented ourselves enough, maybe already too much?!
Valuable and special things, perhaps important companions on the way from childhood to adulthood, we safeguard and protect in which we pack it. Packaging is an important part of securing small and large valuables. For example, the garment bag is a tried and tested, often little noticed protection for our most important and beautiful clothes. But finally clothing is also a packaging material. The highest property to protect, however, leaves it unprotected: our vulnerable personality.
From unappreciated garment bags for the protection of clothing, this collection was created with an unusual, flattering, silhouette, which can behave variably and thus change several times. Fabrics, from which clothes are actually made, were the starting point for the creation of a large number of individual patterns, which, however, were the basis for whole-body-suits (morphsuits).
The quite exotic morphsuits are the protection for our "me".
The analysis of this topic led directly and almost self-evidently to the whole-body covering. This leads to a kind of anonymisation of the individual, but on the other hand also offers an opportunity for an exceptional individualism. By the concealment and enscocement of our personality with the enveloping pattern, we can show our own, new, perhaps completely different, image of ourselves.
The present collection with 9 outfits is characterized by its own fabric design, which is similar to that of a patchwork work - from a variety of patterns a magnificent, kaleidoscopic picture world emerged. Designs and cuts were developed with a 3D simulation program (Marvelous Designer). The fabrics are the product of a digital printing technique and a stitching process, resulting in a distinctive composite fabric. The outfits were complemented by self-designed and hand-crafted leather shoes that were matched to the collection.
The result was a very exotic, strange, almost extraterrestrial collection, characterized by a de-personalization - the individuality of the wearer is determined solely by the design.
