Because I have worked with fashion at  Konstfack, my final project also focuses on this theme. My previous projects  have explored the wearer’s references and  preferences, deconstruction of the human body and the reflection of light  versus textiles.

I am ambivalent to the fashion  industry because of its commercialism, and this provides the starting point for  my degree project. How can I work with fashion and find my own place, when I  disagree with so many of its values?

In my final collection I work with  a type of haute couture idea - handcrafted details and time consuming  techniques. Can well-crafted and one-of-a-kind garments raise the status and  longevity of clothes?

The techniques I have chosen are  batik, shibori and draping, and I work with the whole impression, a total look,  from hats to shoes.
