Graduate collection AW17
moodboard
inspiration
what is beauty? is it even possible to define beauty? does beauty really stand for the flawless image created by the cosmetic industry and social media? everything looks perfect – no edges, no flaws, no marks, no mistakes, no individualism, no relation to reality. all of that is an illusion. we try hard to fulfill the ideal of nowadays society – but what for? everything looks the same and nothing stays in memory. is that the real understanding of beauty?
the collection Un|schönheit is a countermovement to that ideal, particularly inspired by these features like birth marks, thin skin, visible veins, skin pigmentation, port-wine stains and hematoma that are viewed by society as flaws and oftentimes tried to be hidden. albinism, another key topic, is associated with disease that some people are born with but at the same time it makes the human body unique. every mark makes the human body something special and recognizable.
this collection has the purpose of showcasing the beauty of imperfect marks, the materials include transparent fabrics to show the skin in its whole appearance and a digital print of blood capillaries is conspicuously placed on the fabric of the key items.
