A GIRL IS A GUN
amfi graduation collectionIn my designs and material choices, I aimed to convey this message by showcasing the various ways women can be empowered. The materials I selected celebrate traditional femininity through elements like lace, ruffles, and pearls, while enhancing it with contrasting components like hardwear, transparency, and sportswear influences. My extensive practical research into silhouettes and textile experimentation has culminated in a haute-à-porter collection of six looks, envisioning a culture where women can freely and unapologetically express their sensuality while feeling safe and celebrated.

IT’S SO HOT, I’M FREEZING!
knitology specialization projectWith my work I want to ironically draw attention to the hypocrisy of making climate change the individuals responsibility instead of holding big corporations accountable for their harmful ecological impact.
Therefore I designed knitwear pieces that play with a contrast and duality of opaqueness and transparency, layering and open spaces, reflecting the fluctuations of heatwaves and blizzards that we are experiencing today.

THE ANTHROPOLYPSE
textile collection
The hypothetical era of the "Anthropolypse" serves as a depiction of the extreme consequences of continued destruction of nature, where humanity undergoes assimilation into the natural world.
The collection is divided into three stages, representing the gradual transformation from the Anthropocene to the Anthropolypse.
I used knitting, needle felting, hand embroidery and biomaterial techniques to create this textile collection embodying the concept of the Anthropolypse.
