Fragility
The pleated silhouette appears almost weightless. It feels delicate, vulnerable and untouchable, as if it could disappear at any moment.
FASHION [ 8 ]
Research
The project began with collecting visual references, exploring silhouettes, proportions and construction methods. Research became the foundation for every design decision that followed.
Concept
Initial ideas were translated into quick sketches that explored shape, balance and movement. Through continuous iteration, the direction gradually became more defined.
Sketches
Drawing served as a tool for thinking rather than illustrating. Every sketch documented another step towards understanding proportion and construction.
Development
The design evolved through constant refinement. Details were reconsidered, proportions adjusted and construction methods improved throughout the process.
Pattern
The transition from sketch to pattern required technical precision. Each modification influenced the final silhouette and the overall fit of the garment.
Construction
Every seam and assembly step contributed to the garment’s structure. Technical craftsmanship became as important as the visual outcome itself.
Material
Different fabrics were explored to evaluate their weight, texture and movement. The final material was selected to support both form and function.
Process
Rather than focusing solely on the finished piece, the project documents the complete journey from research to realization, revealing how ideas evolve through making.
Outcome
The completed garment represents the result of research, experimentation and technical development. Every stage of the process contributed to the final expression.

Final Project 2025
What happens when inner transformation and dreaming become visually apparent in everyday situations? To what extent does a person’s emotional world reflect the desire for acceptance, and how can this be translated into an artwork? Can something intangible be shaped in such a way that it is not only seen, but also felt and experienced?
The hidden inner world is carried outward through symbols that reveal personal emotion. Asymmetry becomes a sign of dreaming and a way of revealing the tension between reality and imagination. Selected details and parts of the body remain concealed in order to activate fantasy and thought. A dream can never be fully grasped. Thoughts drifting into the distance and into infinity remain equally intangible.
Oversized forms and exaggerated body parts break with convention. Ordinary elements are transformed into metaphors for the mind. Ethereal fantasy and the almost invisible movement of time and space circle one another like two small stars about to collide.
Materials communicate incompleteness. Their structure exposes a process of self-deconstruction and creates a lyrical interaction between fragments. The wearer exists only partly in the here and now. A weave stretches across the individual elements like an almost invisible net of thoughts, expressing the fragility of the human mind.
A cape acts as protection from outside influences, forming a barrier against the harshness of reality. It reflects the melancholic need to hide from the world, or even the necessity of doing so. Immersion in one’s own imagination offers shelter from grey rain and the negative energy of the outside world. A material that is firm yet flexible stands simultaneously for protection and freedom, enhanced through unusual surface manipulation.
Black represents infinity and mystery: a canvas for dreams and a deep descent into the abyss of emotion. Copper elements appear as points of light, bringing warmth into the design and piercing through the dreamlike darkness.

Movement
Every fold suggests motion. The garment seems suspended between stillness and transformation, as if the body were caught in a moment that never fully settles.

Protection
The oversized volume creates distance. It functions as a protective shell while still revealing an intimate and deeply personal emotional state.
