1st Term: Personal Project. No Gender-No Genre. Mood and Inspiration.



First Terms first project is the development of a personal theme. A drawn collection of ten outfits in the line up, one realized outfit as well as sketches, research and samples is required.

I was inspired by the strong tension of garments of the past and the future. I found parallels in traditional german folk costumes like the "Dirndl"dress, "Krachlederne" men's trousers or knight's armour and robots, androids, avatars and astronauts.
Besides these influences on details and silhouettes, the graphic of insect wings, their see-through-effect and fragility led to transparency in the choice of the fabrics. Fine cotton organdy paired with modern fabrics as latex, sports jersey, pcv or coated cotton reflected the tension of past and future.
