A Modern Armor
Focuspoints: Inspiration/moodboard, concept and craftmanship
This dress is designed to evoke a sense of unwavering confidence and timeless elegance. The back features a dragon scale-like smocking pattern that adds depth, while the sharp shoulders highlight the strength and structure of armor. Made from 100% wool with an emphasis on craftsmanship and graphic tailoring.
Design for Simplicity
Fokuspoints: Concept design and design process
The set consists of a simple kimono-style shirt and a fully lined vest. The concept is inspired by the recognizability, symbolism, and qualities of the hand. The shapes of both garments are based on a form study I conducted using a small figure and a hand-shaped template. I kept the design style, materials, colors, and sewing techniques as simple as possible, resulting in a concept of my hand gently wrapping around the wearer’s body, using only cotton.
The shirt features a kimono-style closure and a graphic print of my own fingerprint. In addition to the shirt, I created a vest shaped like a hand embracing the wearer — the hand that leaves the fingerprint behind.
Garments of the forest
Focuspoint: Concept process
The set was created for a fashion show at the Textile School in Holte. The concept explores the forest’s decay and rebirth through the changing seasons. The jacket is covered with hand-sewn moss, kept alive with water, and fresh leaves that naturally decayed over time.
A Surreal Shirt
Focuspoints: Concept development and theme, design process, and craftsmanship
Shirt with the theme “Deconstruction,” designed to appear as two layers, with the outer layer melting like plastic under high heat.
Blossoming Spring
Focuspoint: craftmanship
A spring jacket made from upholstery fabric, with lining, collar, zipper, welt pocket, and side seam pockets.
Bag From Upcycled Jeans
Focuspoints: Design and upcycling
From Thrift To Couture
Focuspoint: Conceptualizing
The set is created from two discarded jackets. The top is inspired by the beautiful shape of the Luna moth. The shorts are made by deconstructing a jacket and reassembling it as a patchwork fabric.
The Shapes of the City In a Gala Dress
Focuspoint: Designprocess
I based the design on the architectural forms around me. The shape is inspired by an arch in a staircase, which ultimately evolved into an organic “spiral dress.”
The dress is made from an upcycled sleeping bag, purchased from a thrift store.
It is then painted white to create the effect of brushstrokes.
Sculptural bag
Focuspoint: Conceptualizing
This bag is made from wool felt insulation pieces from speakers. The felt is pressed and steamed over ceramic faces, taking shape from them.
A Woolen Jacket
Focuspoints: Design, pattern construction and craftmanship
In creating this furry wool and alpaca jacket, I aimed to let the materials speak for themselves — allowing the senses to rest, while subtle details guide the eye through the intricacies of the design.
