![]() ![]() It was a very up-and-down experience, which I wasn’t used to, because I’m usually a calm person. The time went by really quickly and I remember hating everything that was happening. It’s crazy because from start to finish it took about 8 months. I mean, I couldn’t just create a plastic dress. But I also didn’t want it to be too commercialized. I didn’t want my collection to be too experimental and therefore not wearable. I used a heat press machine to test and combine the colors with fabrics, so I could understand the transparency of the ink. I was always interested in fancy techniques and remember learning that when you print on transparent films, you can peel this ink layer off. I have experimented with video art a lot, which opens up this other world to explore when designing.

That’s right: ‘He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance one cannot fly into flying.’ I think I liked the way the words fell. The concept for your thesis, ‘The Fold’ was influenced by a Nietzsche quote. In fact, I like to keep a little bit of distance from fashion itself. But even now, I don’t feel like a fashion designer. When I started experimenting at Parsons, I was learning what I liked and what felt natural to me. I think that’s why I enjoy making garments, because it’s about the whole image. But unlike him, I sometimes can’t focus on the small details.
