Skin Deep.
For this collection I was inspired by the human anatomy.
More specifically the inside of the human body and the
skin protecting it. I’ve focused on the ageing and repairing
of the skin (wrinkles and suture) as well as the cardiovascular
system. The lines in the garments come from the natural
lines within the body, especially the blood vessels. The
zig zag details that is a recurring theme throughout the
collection symbolize stitches from suture used to repair the
skin and hold it together. The volume comes from sagging
skin and the fact that our skin goes from tight to loose as it
ages. Thus some garments looks weirdly out of proportion
and all are starting from a tight neck or waist and ending
up at a wide hem. The human body and its inside is both
grotesque and beautiful. It’s natural, transformable, and
soft. Translating to natural fabrics and lines, transformable
garments and a soft hand.
