 "As a future fashion designer, global issues are very important to me and this is reflected in my work. Fashion has always played an important role in war and is constantly used in propaganda and advertisements. In today’s society we are under a constant and intense media bombardment about what is “accepted” and capitalism has turned fashion into a tool for mass production and fast consumption. Researching indebt into this subject my collection ”Antidote” starting point was inspired by a range of German Second World War uniforms where masculine shapes inspired the designs of the collection. Through out my research I also was inspired by Space Age images which led me to experiment and develop some of my own futuristic feel to fabrics using special machinery such as Tanaka."

GOLD in the fashion F/W 2012/13

"In philosophy, especially that of Aristotle, the golden mean is the desirable middle between two extremes, one of excess and the other of deficiency. For example courage, a virtue, if taken to excess would manifest as recklessness and if deficient as cowardice." Wiki
This rule applies in this year's winter fashion: Less is more or less should be spectacular.
“THIS SEASON WE DECIDED TO GO TOWARDS A SURREALIST VISION THAT EVOKED A COMBINATION OF THE SAILING SCENES FROM THE MOVIE GILDA AND A BIT OF FELLINI, WITH A LITTLE BIT OF 1980S THROWN IN FOR GOOD MEASURE,”
