ldquoMy collection is inspired by the single sided surface (The Mobius Strip) through the study of Topology Exploring the region between art and mathematics and finding beauty in geometry I used computer technology for a new approach to design Complex minimal surfaces were generated using a 3D modelling computer program to which a lsquo f latteningrsquo process was applied The flat 2D patterns transferred to paper and fabric for further manipulation and experimentation in relation to the body The experimental process essentially designed the collectionrdquo

ldquoI always enjoy a process making a story and theory in my perspective after then develop it into fashion design This is because I think it is an only way to create my own identity and look For my 2012 AW collection I perceived new characteristics of pattern cutting to find another self of garment pattern in my imagination Each garment pattern can be seen in an unexpected place that does not belong to them creating new silhouette and meaning With this idea I

wanted to derive a beauty aroused by unexpected and unfamiliar meeting of garment pattern with new construction of pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoI think of myself as a print designer first and foremost But print on a figure on a body just seemed more exciting to me than doing flat textile design Before doing the MA I had started experimenting with 3D prints so I really just wanted to explore that with my graduate collection But to explore and push the effect of digital print using a more traditional craftsmanrsquos technique Itrsquos really difficult to get the print to be as accurate So itrsquos all been about figuring out that processrdquo

ldquoI wanted to make something special but for people still to be able to wear the clothes With menswear itrsquos going to be my clothes so I can think of it differently I wanted to fill the gap between really unique special clothes and something

that is accessible Irsquom interested in the concept of augmented reality of the idea of nature but manipulated or recreatedrdquo

ldquoInspiration for my collection has come from a photographer called Tyrone Lebon who did a shoot called lsquoSnoop in the Hamptonsrsquo in POP magazine The girls were wearing menrsquos clothing and styled to look like Snoop Dogg I also combined

this with some ideas from my pre-collection which was inspired by Lego and led to the colourful digital printrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoMy collection is inspired by the single sided surface (The Mobius Strip) through the study of Topology Exploring the region between art and mathematics and finding beauty in geometry I used computer technology for a new approach to design Complex minimal surfaces were generated using a 3D modelling computer program to which a lsquo f latteningrsquo process was applied The flat 2D patterns transferred to paper and fabric for further manipulation and experimentation in relation to the body The experimental process essentially designed the collectionrdquo

ldquoI always enjoy a process making a story and theory in my perspective after then develop it into fashion design This is because I think it is an only way to create my own identity and look For my 2012 AW collection I perceived new characteristics of pattern cutting to find another self of garment pattern in my imagination Each garment pattern can be seen in an unexpected place that does not belong to them creating new silhouette and meaning With this idea I

wanted to derive a beauty aroused by unexpected and unfamiliar meeting of garment pattern with new construction of pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoI think of myself as a print designer first and foremost But print on a figure on a body just seemed more exciting to me than doing flat textile design Before doing the MA I had started experimenting with 3D prints so I really just wanted to explore that with my graduate collection But to explore and push the effect of digital print using a more traditional craftsmanrsquos technique Itrsquos really difficult to get the print to be as accurate So itrsquos all been about figuring out that processrdquo

ldquoInspiration for my collection has come from a photographer called Tyrone Lebon who did a shoot called lsquoSnoop in the Hamptonsrsquo in POP magazine The girls were wearing menrsquos clothing and styled to look like Snoop Dogg I also combined

this with some ideas from my pre-collection which was inspired by Lego and led to the colourful digital printrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoI wanted to make something special but for people still to be able to wear the clothes With menswear itrsquos going to be my clothes so I can think of it differently I wanted to fill the gap between really unique special clothes and something

that is accessible Irsquom interested in the concept of augmented reality of the idea of nature but manipulated or recreatedrdquo

ldquoInspiration for my collection has come from a photographer called Tyrone Lebon who did a shoot called lsquoSnoop in the Hamptonsrsquo in POP magazine The girls were wearing menrsquos clothing and styled to look like Snoop Dogg I also combined

this with some ideas from my pre-collection which was inspired by Lego and led to the colourful digital printrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoMy collection is inspired by the single sided surface (The Mobius Strip) through the study of Topology Exploring the region between art and mathematics and finding beauty in geometry I used computer technology for a new approach to design Complex minimal surfaces were generated using a 3D modelling computer program to which a lsquo f latteningrsquo process was applied The flat 2D patterns transferred to paper and fabric for further manipulation and experimentation in relation to the body The experimental process essentially designed the collectionrdquo

ldquoI always enjoy a process making a story and theory in my perspective after then develop it into fashion design This is because I think it is an only way to create my own identity and look For my 2012 AW collection I perceived new characteristics of pattern cutting to find another self of garment pattern in my imagination Each garment pattern can be seen in an unexpected place that does not belong to them creating new silhouette and meaning With this idea I

wanted to derive a beauty aroused by unexpected and unfamiliar meeting of garment pattern with new construction of pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoMy collection is inspired by the single sided surface (The Mobius Strip) through the study of Topology Exploring the region between art and mathematics and finding beauty in geometry I used computer technology for a new approach to design Complex minimal surfaces were generated using a 3D modelling computer program to which a lsquo f latteningrsquo process was applied The flat 2D patterns transferred to paper and fabric for further manipulation and experimentation in relation to the body The experimental process essentially designed the collectionrdquo

ldquoI always enjoy a process making a story and theory in my perspective after then develop it into fashion design This is because I think it is an only way to create my own identity and look For my 2012 AW collection I perceived new characteristics of pattern cutting to find another self of garment pattern in my imagination Each garment pattern can be seen in an unexpected place that does not belong to them creating new silhouette and meaning With this idea I

wanted to derive a beauty aroused by unexpected and unfamiliar meeting of garment pattern with new construction of pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoMy collection is inspired by the single sided surface (The Mobius Strip) through the study of Topology Exploring the region between art and mathematics and finding beauty in geometry I used computer technology for a new approach to design Complex minimal surfaces were generated using a 3D modelling computer program to which a lsquo f latteningrsquo process was applied The flat 2D patterns transferred to paper and fabric for further manipulation and experimentation in relation to the body The experimental process essentially designed the collectionrdquo

ldquoI always enjoy a process making a story and theory in my perspective after then develop it into fashion design This is because I think it is an only way to create my own identity and look For my 2012 AW collection I perceived new characteristics of pattern cutting to find another self of garment pattern in my imagination Each garment pattern can be seen in an unexpected place that does not belong to them creating new silhouette and meaning With this idea I

wanted to derive a beauty aroused by unexpected and unfamiliar meeting of garment pattern with new construction of pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoI always enjoy a process making a story and theory in my perspective after then develop it into fashion design This is because I think it is an only way to create my own identity and look For my 2012 AW collection I perceived new characteristics of pattern cutting to find another self of garment pattern in my imagination Each garment pattern can be seen in an unexpected place that does not belong to them creating new silhouette and meaning With this idea I

wanted to derive a beauty aroused by unexpected and unfamiliar meeting of garment pattern with new construction of pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

this with some ideas from my pre-collection which was inspired by Lego and led to the colourful digital printrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoMy collection is inspired by the single sided surface (The Mobius Strip) through the study of Topology Exploring the region between art and mathematics and finding beauty in geometry I used computer technology for a new approach to design Complex minimal surfaces were generated using a 3D modelling computer program to which a lsquo f latteningrsquo process was applied The flat 2D patterns transferred to paper and fabric for further manipulation and experimentation in relation to the body The experimental process essentially designed the collectionrdquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoMy collection is inspired by the single sided surface (The Mobius Strip) through the study of Topology Exploring the region between art and mathematics and finding beauty in geometry I used computer technology for a new approach to design Complex minimal surfaces were generated using a 3D modelling computer program to which a lsquo f latteningrsquo process was applied The flat 2D patterns transferred to paper and fabric for further manipulation and experimentation in relation to the body The experimental process essentially designed the collectionrdquo

ldquoI always enjoy a process making a story and theory in my perspective after then develop it into fashion design This is because I think it is an only way to create my own identity and look For my 2012 AW collection I perceived new characteristics of pattern cutting to find another self of garment pattern in my imagination Each garment pattern can be seen in an unexpected place that does not belong to them creating new silhouette and meaning With this idea I

wanted to derive a beauty aroused by unexpected and unfamiliar meeting of garment pattern with new construction of pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoI think of myself as a print designer first and foremost But print on a figure on a body just seemed more exciting to me than doing flat textile design Before doing the MA I had started experimenting with 3D prints so I really just wanted to explore that with my graduate collection But to explore and push the effect of digital print using a more traditional craftsmanrsquos technique Itrsquos really difficult to get the print to be as accurate So itrsquos all been about figuring out that processrdquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoMy collection is inspired by the single sided surface (The Mobius Strip) through the study of Topology Exploring the region between art and mathematics and finding beauty in geometry I used computer technology for a new approach to design Complex minimal surfaces were generated using a 3D modelling computer program to which a lsquo f latteningrsquo process was applied The flat 2D patterns transferred to paper and fabric for further manipulation and experimentation in relation to the body The experimental process essentially designed the collectionrdquo

ldquoI always enjoy a process making a story and theory in my perspective after then develop it into fashion design This is because I think it is an only way to create my own identity and look For my 2012 AW collection I perceived new characteristics of pattern cutting to find another self of garment pattern in my imagination Each garment pattern can be seen in an unexpected place that does not belong to them creating new silhouette and meaning With this idea I

wanted to derive a beauty aroused by unexpected and unfamiliar meeting of garment pattern with new construction of pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoI think of myself as a print designer first and foremost But print on a figure on a body just seemed more exciting to me than doing flat textile design Before doing the MA I had started experimenting with 3D prints so I really just wanted to explore that with my graduate collection But to explore and push the effect of digital print using a more traditional craftsmanrsquos technique Itrsquos really difficult to get the print to be as accurate So itrsquos all been about figuring out that processrdquo

this with some ideas from my pre-collection which was inspired by Lego and led to the colourful digital printrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoInspiration for my collection has come from a photographer called Tyrone Lebon who did a shoot called lsquoSnoop in the Hamptonsrsquo in POP magazine The girls were wearing menrsquos clothing and styled to look like Snoop Dogg I also combined

this with some ideas from my pre-collection which was inspired by Lego and led to the colourful digital printrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoMy collection is inspired by the single sided surface (The Mobius Strip) through the study of Topology Exploring the region between art and mathematics and finding beauty in geometry I used computer technology for a new approach to design Complex minimal surfaces were generated using a 3D modelling computer program to which a lsquo f latteningrsquo process was applied The flat 2D patterns transferred to paper and fabric for further manipulation and experimentation in relation to the body The experimental process essentially designed the collectionrdquo

ldquoI always enjoy a process making a story and theory in my perspective after then develop it into fashion design This is because I think it is an only way to create my own identity and look For my 2012 AW collection I perceived new characteristics of pattern cutting to find another self of garment pattern in my imagination Each garment pattern can be seen in an unexpected place that does not belong to them creating new silhouette and meaning With this idea I

wanted to derive a beauty aroused by unexpected and unfamiliar meeting of garment pattern with new construction of pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoI think of myself as a print designer first and foremost But print on a figure on a body just seemed more exciting to me than doing flat textile design Before doing the MA I had started experimenting with 3D prints so I really just wanted to explore that with my graduate collection But to explore and push the effect of digital print using a more traditional craftsmanrsquos technique Itrsquos really difficult to get the print to be as accurate So itrsquos all been about figuring out that processrdquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoMy collection is inspired by the single sided surface (The Mobius Strip) through the study of Topology Exploring the region between art and mathematics and finding beauty in geometry I used computer technology for a new approach to design Complex minimal surfaces were generated using a 3D modelling computer program to which a lsquo f latteningrsquo process was applied The flat 2D patterns transferred to paper and fabric for further manipulation and experimentation in relation to the body The experimental process essentially designed the collectionrdquo

ldquoI always enjoy a process making a story and theory in my perspective after then develop it into fashion design This is because I think it is an only way to create my own identity and look For my 2012 AW collection I perceived new characteristics of pattern cutting to find another self of garment pattern in my imagination Each garment pattern can be seen in an unexpected place that does not belong to them creating new silhouette and meaning With this idea I

wanted to derive a beauty aroused by unexpected and unfamiliar meeting of garment pattern with new construction of pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoI always enjoy a process making a story and theory in my perspective after then develop it into fashion design This is because I think it is an only way to create my own identity and look For my 2012 AW collection I perceived new characteristics of pattern cutting to find another self of garment pattern in my imagination Each garment pattern can be seen in an unexpected place that does not belong to them creating new silhouette and meaning With this idea I

wanted to derive a beauty aroused by unexpected and unfamiliar meeting of garment pattern with new construction of pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

wanted to derive a beauty aroused by unexpected and unfamiliar meeting of garment pattern with new construction of pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoMy collection is inspired by the single sided surface (The Mobius Strip) through the study of Topology Exploring the region between art and mathematics and finding beauty in geometry I used computer technology for a new approach to design Complex minimal surfaces were generated using a 3D modelling computer program to which a lsquo f latteningrsquo process was applied The flat 2D patterns transferred to paper and fabric for further manipulation and experimentation in relation to the body The experimental process essentially designed the collectionrdquo

ldquoThe collection has taken the heritage of the Austrian folk costume including its tradition and fused it with aesthetics of modern menswear Extracting traditional techniques and silhouettes fitting it into a contemporary context is a unique way of staying true to my own roots Nourished by the wish of an ideal world which is forever connected with the myth of the alps the kitschy homeland movies of the Austrian postwar years and the world famous musical lsquoThe Sound of Musicrsquordquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoMy collection is inspired by the single sided surface (The Mobius Strip) through the study of Topology Exploring the region between art and mathematics and finding beauty in geometry I used computer technology for a new approach to design Complex minimal surfaces were generated using a 3D modelling computer program to which a lsquo f latteningrsquo process was applied The flat 2D patterns transferred to paper and fabric for further manipulation and experimentation in relation to the body The experimental process essentially designed the collectionrdquo

ldquoI always enjoy a process making a story and theory in my perspective after then develop it into fashion design This is because I think it is an only way to create my own identity and look For my 2012 AW collection I perceived new characteristics of pattern cutting to find another self of garment pattern in my imagination Each garment pattern can be seen in an unexpected place that does not belong to them creating new silhouette and meaning With this idea I

wanted to derive a beauty aroused by unexpected and unfamiliar meeting of garment pattern with new construction of pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoI think of myself as a print designer first and foremost But print on a figure on a body just seemed more exciting to me than doing flat textile design Before doing the MA I had started experimenting with 3D prints so I really just wanted to explore that with my graduate collection But to explore and push the effect of digital print using a more traditional craftsmanrsquos technique Itrsquos really difficult to get the print to be as accurate So itrsquos all been about figuring out that processrdquo

ldquoI wanted to make something special but for people still to be able to wear the clothes With menswear itrsquos going to be my clothes so I can think of it differently I wanted to fill the gap between really unique special clothes and something

ldquoInspiration for my collection has come from a photographer called Tyrone Lebon who did a shoot called lsquoSnoop in the Hamptonsrsquo in POP magazine The girls were wearing menrsquos clothing and styled to look like Snoop Dogg I also combined

this with some ideas from my pre-collection which was inspired by Lego and led to the colourful digital printrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoI always enjoy a process making a story and theory in my perspective after then develop it into fashion design This is because I think it is an only way to create my own identity and look For my 2012 AW collection I perceived new characteristics of pattern cutting to find another self of garment pattern in my imagination Each garment pattern can be seen in an unexpected place that does not belong to them creating new silhouette and meaning With this idea I

wanted to derive a beauty aroused by unexpected and unfamiliar meeting of garment pattern with new construction of pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoI think of myself as a print designer first and foremost But print on a figure on a body just seemed more exciting to me than doing flat textile design Before doing the MA I had started experimenting with 3D prints so I really just wanted to explore that with my graduate collection But to explore and push the effect of digital print using a more traditional craftsmanrsquos technique Itrsquos really difficult to get the print to be as accurate So itrsquos all been about figuring out that processrdquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoI always enjoy a process making a story and theory in my perspective after then develop it into fashion design This is because I think it is an only way to create my own identity and look For my 2012 AW collection I perceived new characteristics of pattern cutting to find another self of garment pattern in my imagination Each garment pattern can be seen in an unexpected place that does not belong to them creating new silhouette and meaning With this idea I

wanted to derive a beauty aroused by unexpected and unfamiliar meeting of garment pattern with new construction of pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoI think of myself as a print designer first and foremost But print on a figure on a body just seemed more exciting to me than doing flat textile design Before doing the MA I had started experimenting with 3D prints so I really just wanted to explore that with my graduate collection But to explore and push the effect of digital print using a more traditional craftsmanrsquos technique Itrsquos really difficult to get the print to be as accurate So itrsquos all been about figuring out that processrdquo

ldquoI wanted to make something special but for people still to be able to wear the clothes With menswear itrsquos going to be my clothes so I can think of it differently I wanted to fill the gap between really unique special clothes and something

that is accessible Irsquom interested in the concept of augmented reality of the idea of nature but manipulated or recreatedrdquo

ldquoInspiration for my collection has come from a photographer called Tyrone Lebon who did a shoot called lsquoSnoop in the Hamptonsrsquo in POP magazine The girls were wearing menrsquos clothing and styled to look like Snoop Dogg I also combined

this with some ideas from my pre-collection which was inspired by Lego and led to the colourful digital printrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoI always enjoy a process making a story and theory in my perspective after then develop it into fashion design This is because I think it is an only way to create my own identity and look For my 2012 AW collection I perceived new characteristics of pattern cutting to find another self of garment pattern in my imagination Each garment pattern can be seen in an unexpected place that does not belong to them creating new silhouette and meaning With this idea I

wanted to derive a beauty aroused by unexpected and unfamiliar meeting of garment pattern with new construction of pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoI wanted to make something special but for people still to be able to wear the clothes With menswear itrsquos going to be my clothes so I can think of it differently I wanted to fill the gap between really unique special clothes and something

that is accessible Irsquom interested in the concept of augmented reality of the idea of nature but manipulated or recreatedrdquo

ldquoInspiration for my collection has come from a photographer called Tyrone Lebon who did a shoot called lsquoSnoop in the Hamptonsrsquo in POP magazine The girls were wearing menrsquos clothing and styled to look like Snoop Dogg I also combined

this with some ideas from my pre-collection which was inspired by Lego and led to the colourful digital printrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

this with some ideas from my pre-collection which was inspired by Lego and led to the colourful digital printrdquo

ldquoThe collection has taken the heritage of the Austrian folk costume including its tradition and fused it with aesthetics of modern menswear Extracting traditional techniques and silhouettes fitting it into a contemporary context is a unique way of staying true to my own roots Nourished by the wish of an ideal world which is forever connected with the myth of the alps the kitschy homeland movies of the Austrian postwar years and the world famous musical lsquoThe Sound of Musicrsquordquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoThe collection has taken the heritage of the Austrian folk costume including its tradition and fused it with aesthetics of modern menswear Extracting traditional techniques and silhouettes fitting it into a contemporary context is a unique way of staying true to my own roots Nourished by the wish of an ideal world which is forever connected with the myth of the alps the kitschy homeland movies of the Austrian postwar years and the world famous musical lsquoThe Sound of Musicrsquordquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

this with some ideas from my pre-collection which was inspired by Lego and led to the colourful digital printrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

this with some ideas from my pre-collection which was inspired by Lego and led to the colourful digital printrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoInspiration for my collection has come from a photographer called Tyrone Lebon who did a shoot called lsquoSnoop in the Hamptonsrsquo in POP magazine The girls were wearing menrsquos clothing and styled to look like Snoop Dogg I also combined

this with some ideas from my pre-collection which was inspired by Lego and led to the colourful digital printrdquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoInspiration for my collection has come from a photographer called Tyrone Lebon who did a shoot called lsquoSnoop in the Hamptonsrsquo in POP magazine The girls were wearing menrsquos clothing and styled to look like Snoop Dogg I also combined

this with some ideas from my pre-collection which was inspired by Lego and led to the colourful digital printrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoThe collection has taken the heritage of the Austrian folk costume including its tradition and fused it with aesthetics of modern menswear Extracting traditional techniques and silhouettes fitting it into a contemporary context is a unique way of staying true to my own roots Nourished by the wish of an ideal world which is forever connected with the myth of the alps the kitschy homeland movies of the Austrian postwar years and the world famous musical lsquoThe Sound of Musicrsquordquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoI wanted to make something special but for people still to be able to wear the clothes With menswear itrsquos going to be my clothes so I can think of it differently I wanted to fill the gap between really unique special clothes and something

that is accessible Irsquom interested in the concept of augmented reality of the idea of nature but manipulated or recreatedrdquo

ldquoInspiration for my collection has come from a photographer called Tyrone Lebon who did a shoot called lsquoSnoop in the Hamptonsrsquo in POP magazine The girls were wearing menrsquos clothing and styled to look like Snoop Dogg I also combined

this with some ideas from my pre-collection which was inspired by Lego and led to the colourful digital printrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoThe collection has taken the heritage of the Austrian folk costume including its tradition and fused it with aesthetics of modern menswear Extracting traditional techniques and silhouettes fitting it into a contemporary context is a unique way of staying true to my own roots Nourished by the wish of an ideal world which is forever connected with the myth of the alps the kitschy homeland movies of the Austrian postwar years and the world famous musical lsquoThe Sound of Musicrsquordquo

ldquoThe inspiration for this collection came from coincidence synchronicity It is believed that a series of events happen at the same time and these events were attracted by humanrsquos inner thoughts therefore it is not a coincidence Therefore This project aims to focus on the perception of synchronicity and how garments related to inner mind (subconscious) and divination Meanwhile interpret these elements by using different fabric combination of colour and special pattern cuttingrdquo

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoInspiration for my collection has come from a photographer called Tyrone Lebon who did a shoot called lsquoSnoop in the Hamptonsrsquo in POP magazine The girls were wearing menrsquos clothing and styled to look like Snoop Dogg I also combined

ldquoThe collection is named ldquoMetaphorical Distancerdquo which is transforming the secrecy onto the body languageself protection The secrecy is the crucial element of my collection is because I have made an assumption that everyone has his own secrets that he doesnrsquot wish to share The secrets can be big or small the main point is the fact that people would rather keep them in instead of sharing And when people stay in this state for a while the secrets can starts to eat the individual from inside It might causes loneliness anger or solitude whatever it is the individual has been traumatised which leads them to a state that having a conflict in between hiding their secrets and revealing them Because after all people want to be understood by the others around them and hopefully though the process could get rid of the self-isolationrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo

ldquoThe western feminist vision would say that there is an islamisation of western society and a fear that has been created by terrorism since 911 Middle-eastern feminist would express their liberty through their religious beliefs The law against the Burqa put into force by the French government (Andreacute Gueacuterin 11th April 2011) exemplifies well this misunderstanding between the two feminist ideologies Indeed it prohibits any clothing that would ldquodisguise her facerdquo in a public space In reality it is a way to protect a lay French society from Islamic religious beliefs My collection aims to demonstrate this gap between a modern and a traditional way of dressingrdquo
