Interlude Where The End Is The Beginning

In my dissertation, I wrote about the role of minimalism in shaping contemporary fashion in terms of style, consumption and sustainability. In fact, this idea had been there under the surface before I started my studies; clarifying it encouraged me to choose fashion design as my path. Minimalism is always present in my projects, even if the end product is layered and complex. This quality became my particular focus, whether it is the literal form, finish or concept. I think I am drawn to efficiency. My aim is to create garments that satisfy the desire of signature look, to the point of reducing the craving for quantity. This means versatility and subtly mixing aesthetics, thinking about casual elegance and ugly chic. I want to work on high-quality materials, which is especially important for simple looks, and I do not like compromising here. Most often, I choose natural fibres for comfort and durability, yet I am aware these are not always environmentally friendly. During my studio practise, I have been using end-of-lines fabrics, looking for healthy and ethical options. Thanks to the diversity of projects at the university, I learned that I feel comfortable with contemporary wear as well as conceptual pieces. Throughout my work, I put emphasis on mood and silhouette, finding balance between feminine and masculine energy. I am attracted to a vision that searches for beauty slightly off the beaten path. I am not only trying to express something new but also to understand something new as a maker.
