I see fashion as a way of looking at and responding to society. This collection, ‘Need to play’ , is an antidote to the daily pressures and stress, both in society as well as in design methods.
My collection of expressive colors, collages, shapes, prints and textiles display a world of endless possibilities and joyful interactions. By thinking, manipulating and adapting rules I create my own playground. A playground that is joyful and optimistic
