SOMETHING´S WRONG
„Something´s Wrong“ is the title of my bachelor´s thesis.
At the beginning of my search for a concept for my bachelor´s collection, I found myself in a dark place. I knew that something was wrong, even though I couldn´t fully understand what it was or how to escape it. I constantly caught myself feeling unwell, carrying a quiet but persistent desire to feel better again. A deep longing for freedom, lightness, and relief.

COSTUME ENHANCEMENT
Connact
I cooperated with the german dance team Connact. They asked, if it is possible to create a shirt with 3-meter expandable sleeves, that would be able to stand upright in the air and function as a prop during dancing.
The costume was awarded with the World Of Dance Best Costume Award twice.
SHIFTING ENERGIES
6. Semester
The ‘Shifting Energies’ collection explores the inner tension between masculine and feminine energies within a woman. It questions the social notion that strength is predominantly equated with masculinity and femininity with weakness. The aim of the
collection is to rethink these attributions and show femininity as something complex and powerful.
THE BEAUTY OF MOVEMENT
3. Semester
The topic of the project is „The Beauty of Movement“. In this project movement is a symbol of freedom, emancipation and confidence. It is the ability for women being able to achieve everything they can imagine. The vision for this project was to design an outfit which makes a woman feel like she can do everything with confidence. To create a timeless design which shows that women are independent. During the process of exploring this topic I had to realize that lightness and heaviness makes up a large proportion of it. Those topics were significantly important for the design and the realization of the project. In today’s society a woman has to be feminine in order to be attractive. But it is actually the balance of masculinity and femininity that makes women so strong and attractive. I want to visualize a fusion of both characteristics.
DECAY OF A BEAUTY
2. Semester
The theme of the dress lies somewhere between soulful minimalism and decay. The focus is on the idea of creating a deep emotional impact with reduced forms. The dress is intended to evoke memories, stir emotions and trigger a personal response in the viewer.
The aim is for everyone who looks at the dress to discover something in the overall picture or in a single detail that touches them and creates an individual connection.
BRUTALISM
1. Semester
A form that was not originally intended for the body.
Characterised by edges and points, it initially appears distant, almost forbidding.
But when combined with movement, its effect changes.
Hardness becomes tension.
Distance becomes expression.
The result is a silent dialogue between structure and body. Clear, reduced and yet full of intensity.
