Leonie Barth graduated from the University of Applied Sciences in Bielefeld, Germany, in January 2014. As a winner of this year’s ITS award, Leonie Barth’s future seems bright and promising. Her collections are composed of clean-cut minimalist garments that never compromise their wearability, perfectly conveying Barth’s original conceptual ideas. Her interests in the human being, in philosophy and social sciences are main inspiration for her designs. „I love to observe people, how they dress and how they behave. I chose to focus on fashion because we communicate identity and social position primarily by means of our clothing.“ Barth says, „We are visual and social entities so we need to communicate never only by voice but also by sight.“
