Fresh graduated fashion designer,
I'm combining fashion design with textile design. I work on the surface of fabric and I use fashion design to put into perspective.
I zoom on the surface of the wool and observe little threads which interlink and felt each other, going deeper in the most vulnerable places of that surface and if they are meeting an nonwool entity they will own it by felting it.
I like to associace textile fiber with nonconventional materials.

Accentuate

I was inspired by Karl Leonhard's book about accentuated personalities, an expresion which replace the notion of mental disorder. So it has from the start a positiv meaning somehow. I transposed the idea of accentuated as what can happen on the surface of the fabric if this one is manipulated. As a result I obtained this textile fusion and the contrast between matt and glossy.
The human behavior worked up an interest for me and it stays as a source of inspiration for my work.
I was also inspired by books like: The elegance of a hedgehog, The foam of the days and The man who mistook his wife for a hat.
