A transformable ball gown with winding towers and a suit inspired by the miners' work clothes. Both knitted from fine merino wool and a yarn of 60 % silk and 40 % steel. The skirt of the dress shows 9 different winding towers, based on the industrial photography of Bernd & Hilla Becher. The designs are completed by a 3D printed winding tower as hair accessory / fascinator and laser cut brooches for the gentleman.
The past of the region newly interpreted in an elegant way/fashion/manner.

The affnity with nature motivated the creation of this dress, which is made of the natural fibre silk in combination with fibres and design elements made of recycled polyester. Sea, waves and mother-of-pearl served as a source of inspiration. The timeless design of the one-shoulder dress adorns the wearer in a sustainable way and does not subject her to the fast-paced fashion change. At the same time traditional and manual manufacturing techniques like embroidering smart textiles through the integration of electroluminescent, self-illuminating elements contrast this and generate a lively look.

In this dress, metamorphosis as one form of change becomes obvious through the transformation of a caterpillar from a cocoon to a winged insect. Through this the designers draw attention to the technological changes in the textile and clothing industry – like the laser cutter and ultra-sonic welding as digital and resources-efficient processing techniques – at the same time.
The digitally-structured fabrics of the dress allow a constant adaptation to the movements of the wearer and symbolically express change through textile multi-colour effects and colour plays.

Inspired by the peacock, this evening gown was created under the motto "change". For this, an allover print was designed and realized using digital printing technology. This makes it easier than ever to print quickly and accurately, saving resources also in the fashion sector. The robe can be redesigned by the wearer and adapted to various occasions through changeability. The print motif draws attention to an endangered animal species. Its home is Asia where clothing are often produced under undignified working conditions. We need change!

The project Feel the Ocean deals with the problem of marine pollution and shows that it is possible to introduce environmentally-friendly and sustainable evening wear to the red carpet. The design is characterized by a zero-waste sectional drawing. Thus, the full textile is used and there is no waste. The pattern was placed on the fabric surface in such a way that it runs through several pattern sections without any interruption. Since the outer fabric and the lining are both printed, the evening dress can be worn on either side and is suitable for various occasions.

The idea of the evening dress emanates from my childhood experience of structural changes in the Ruhr area – from the coal and steel industry to environmental renaturation and cultivation. These changes are reflected in the colours, lines and cuts. The colours black and grey as well as clear geometric lines are exemplary for the industrial Ruhr area on the one hand, and then blue & white and organic forms and structures for the renaturation of the landscape as well as the transformation to a culture and knowledge region on the other hand. The flowing transition between the two parts gives expression to these changes and transformations.

The classic structure of the “power authority jacket” is broken up and replaced by a unisex version. It symbolizes the individuality of each human being and the desire for acceptance and tolerance. At the same time design demands for a change in role models and total emancipation which will be reached when humans approach each other without any prejudice and discrimination. Through emission-free transfer print textiles made of wool and polyester are printed true to pattern size, resulting in only a minimum of waste.

The floor-length dress and the cape topicalise the pollution of the oceans. The cape shows oil streaks on water. This beguiling blaze of colours is printed onto semi-transparent polyester fabric, covering the dress at first. On closer inspection, dead fish emerge on a black background, their death a result of oil pollution.
To the beholder this combination conveys that a serious threat to living creatures and their habitat lies behind the deceptive beauty of our consumption.
The design was realized with sustainable sublimation print.

The insert at the back of the elegant jumpsuit and the accessories are made from a polyethylene foam film that is used in vast amounts as furniture packaging. A thermal treatment gives material a new look. Additionally, its formness increases which makes the material sew- and washable. Also, the belt-buckle was manufactured in an innovative way: It was designed with 3D-computer software and afterwards 3D-printed. The photochromic properties of the filament make the white belt-buckle appear violet under UV light.

Virtual product development is becoming increasingly important in the apparel industry, enabling cost, material and time savings. The cooperation of the players in the textile value chain is accelerated from raw material to trade and at the same time secured. In this dress, the African roots of the designer are juxtaposed with digital, resource-efficient processes in the form of traditional fabrics. Thus, the dress demonstrates how there can be put a stop to low-paid jobs as well as the exploitation of human and natural resources in Asia and Africa via technology.

The photographically captured moment of the mixing of two drops of ink dipping into water, digitally elaborated and deliberately placed via inkjet, refines this evening dress made of certified organic silk satin.
Ink dripping into water, swirling in the fractions of seconds is the epitome of change. Thus, this dress is a message to society: evolution is indispensable, yet not necessarily predictable or exactly reproducible due to a variety of external conditions. But the pure attempt to bring about change is refreshing and displays a certain aesthetics.

Greed steers the fashion industry towards the limits of irresponsibility with environmental damage and exploitation as negative spin-offs. The snow leopard, a species threatened with extinction, is the godfather of this dress and symbolizes the destruction of nature. At the same time, the change in the way wild animals are treated shows that consistent protection saves a species. The drawing of its fur was captured creatively, digitally
processed and applied in a soft course by means of transfer printing with low emissions. The evening gown is variable and can be changed to new looks by its wearer.

This dress, made of the precious fabrics cotton velvet and silk, as well as the embroidery applied by hand, represents Venice at its heyday in the 15th century and calls for the protection of the lagoon city. Tourist hordes are threatening the city, the blast waves of cruise ships are a constant threat to the architecture and through the rising of the sea level the city is in danger to fall prey to climate change. Restrictions on shipping and tourist passes will regulate the number of visitors to the city as well as their duration of stay and their whereabouts in the future. This is how Venice sets an example for us: by rethinking our culture and living space can be preserved.

The eyesome balll gown bears a secret (ingredient): sea algae!
The fibre SeaCellTM a cellulosic fibre concentrated with sea algae, protects the skin from environmental influences and releases vital substances in correlation with skin moisture. It is combined in the dress with a fabric made of certified silk. The theme of the sea is interpreted by the shape of a shell in the top and the wave-like flowing silk fabric in the skirt, supported by a water- and foam-like colouring.
With this innovative ball gown, a new way of thinking is called for.

Our planet is covered by water to 90 %, but ever so unfortunately the oceans are developing into a sea of plastic. To draw the attention to the negative effects of pollution the project with the title “Marine Landscapes” presents a symbiosis of human being and maritime environment. This outfit was created during the international knitting competition “Feel The Yarn”, for the “Pitti Imagine Filati” fair in Florence.
The hand crocheted coral reef structures were complemented with plastic elements to reflect the situation in the sea. The remaining surfaces were finished using the latest knitting technology.

In this project the term "tuxedo" is to be understood literally and shows the severe problem of climate change caused by the burning of the Amazon rainforest.
With the aid of sustainable laser engraving, the black denim surface of the tuxedo was processed. It depicts clouds of smoke that become flames on the shawl collar through laser cutting. The flames “go to the head" of the wearer and symbolize emergency.
Within the tuxedo jacket there is hope – the intact and colourful forest can be spotted here as a printed lining.
