My work focuses on the surface. I use fabric as a starting point. By creating new structures with it or developing new techniques to change its appearance I give it my personal touch and feeling. Besides that I try to give it more dept and a new dimension by moulding it into clean shapes with a fresh and modern look. I am much more interested in that than decoration. Tactility, texture and no-frills modernity are the essence of my work.

I hate the superficial. I hate how we have changed in mass consuming people being led by media, advertisement and trends without any questioning. We have lost our own point of view. We have lost focus.

I think it is frightening to see how things around us have all become of the same impact and importance.

I want people to think and take things more seriously. Evoke questioning and change people’s perspective!

No flatness; search for substance! I don’t care about glamour and spotlights. I find more meaning in the gestures of everyday life. I like the complexities within people and I like things that are more difficult. I work like a researcher and a problem solver. I don’t like things that are too easy to understand, too eye-catching or obvious. I prefer a woman who exposes herself in a less in-your-face way. A certain reserve is beautiful.

In the end, what I like most in life is thinking. To me, that is where the search for my own truth starts. I am always aware of little things happening around me and I like to observe and be drawn into something just by looking at it. Therefore my designs also arise from an atmosphere. I love individuality and a sense of emotion in fashion. I think fashion has to function as an extension of the personality. I want the wearer of my clothes to feel good in it and get joy out of the clothes.

I design for a woman who lives in the present.  Her vision is open-minded and she thinks about today.

She is naturally cool and radiates a relaxed elegance.
