About
Rooted in Germany's rural Hunsrück, Jon Liesenfeld explores evolving family structures through intricate, one-of-a-kind garments that blend tradition with innovation. With a focus on experimental surfaces and unconventional materials, each piece showcases avant-garde craftsmanship, elaborate fabric manipulations, and a deep reflection on identity, purpose, and humility. Particularly noteworthy are the technical refinements he incorporates into his designs by the use of digital techniques, while facing the challenges of more sustainable fashion with innovative circular material approaches.
L'apprenti - the youth lack its master
„The youth lack its master“ explores the declining bond between young and old. The concept points out conflicts and plays with the stigmas associated with today’s youth, but it also brings these generations back together and aims to show how important intergenerational cooperation and mutual understanding are today. The looks portray young and old as apprentice and master, with visual inspiration coming from my youth, wenn my grandfather was my mentor. Artisanal techniques such as dying, weaving and several printing methods are used to translate traditional chore products to contemporary pieces and form the core of the collection. A leather manipulation technique has been developed - fusing leather with jersey - to symbolise the blending of craftsmanship and comfort, representing the two generations.
