Waste. There is so much of it in the world. Just look around. This collection is about reviving techniques of craftswomanship through repurposing waste and reused materials. There is an oddness to it — the young generations are trying to save the world, whilst the people in power are destroying it. GLITCH tries to find beauty and freedom through limitation. The limits we all feel — whether that is about saving the planet or finding freedom in ourselves. Good clothing takes not only time but dedication, craft and research. If we want to change the way we consume, we need to change the way we see fashion. At the heart of my collection stands extensive material research, with materials from excess climbing gear, fabric scraps from Swiss printing companies, and hand-made knits. Reexploring female craftswomanship through the lens of repurposing industrial waste is the motto. The element of rock climbing – a sport that brings me balance and peace while challenging bodily and mental strength – is central and references to it are omnipresent in textile design, construction details and accessories.
