Reality, fiction, inspiration, authenticity, chance, the body...in fashion design, all these concepts are interwoven, are in dialogue, are in motion, condition and explain each other.

In this simultaneous coexistence and juxtaposition, the idiosyncratic approach to the concept, in which a clearly structured methodical approach is just as important as the coincidence discovered in the experiment.

The collection created after in-depth (experimental) research is therefore not only the result of a concept but rather part of a process in which the examination of the above-mentioned phenomena is stimulated in a variety of ways.

For us, examining and shaping this process, leading it to a result, while developing a creative attitude and reflecting on our own perspectives and positions are the building blocks of professional dressmaking.
