Moodboards & research

“This is the stage where the story becomes tangible, where the same fantasy has to be narrated through silhouette, colour, and material. While concept, message and dream-like effect are crucial to me, I am a very product-oriented person. But that’s because I believe in designing with intention, to solve issues. Product design is powerful because it’s about functionality, cool little features you can hide within the garment, surprises, while keeping the magic alive. I love it. I always start with a technical drawing, actually. So this part of the research is a pillar in my practice.”
