AT THE FOCUS OF HIS DESIGN WORK ARE THE DISTRUPED HUMAN VALUES. THIS IS ALSO THE BACKBONE OF THE SON OF SALOME CONCEPT: “MY WORK CAN BE BEST DESCRIBED AS A BALANCE OF GROTESQUE AND ROMANTICISM. PURE EMOTIONS AND HUMANITY ARE BECOMING SCARCE AND THUS WE ARE FACING MORE GLOBAL ISSUES THAT CONCERN ALL OF US. I STRIVE TO DENUDE OUR INNER SIDE AND SYMBOLICALLY PORTRAY THE EMOTIONAL INSTABILITY, LOVE, PAIN, FEAR AND IMPERSONALITY WE ARE ALL EXPERIENCING, THROUGH FORMS, COLOURS AND CUTS.”

“The mystery of love is greater than the mystery of death.”
Oscar Wilde, Salome

The earth took one look at the planet Thea in a crowd, and fell in a passionate love with her. This fusion almost left the earth in the dust. But the crystal of that love was the birth of the moon.

One of the greatest and sublime emotion.
Sublime like the Angels in heaven
Abstract like the universe
Painful like hell (9th circle in hell)

This collection is about a state of mind in which one experiences different types of love and the internal struggle with themselves.

9 outfits like the range of angels in heaven, every look speaks about the different emotions during the states of love.

The collection is made of textiles with abstract print that represents the universe and the infinite love. You’ll see organic forms and textures and completely hand made dresses with the technique macrame. The accessories are metallic and hint the suffocation and resistance with the glare of the moon (hope).

11 - the two digits standing side by side like silhouettes give the impression of belonging together. But it’s not how they feel about each other and about themselves. Separate them and you will see a new beginning, new world, new emotion…
Day one.
