How to live together?
For my final project for the master program Fashion Matters at the Sandberg Instituut, I created a collection of coats with double functionality: as space providers and triggers of interaction. They can be worn, put flat on the floor, and be joined together to create a communal sitting space to gather and share experiences with others.
“How to live together"? came from my own experience and also my admiration of nomad culture and the concept of the old tabernacle - a mobile temple. This temple refers to the idea of not destroying a space after moving around and instead of creating a temporary one, of keeping the smoothness of it, and not owning something, only borrowing it, while showing respect for the environment.” In my work fashion becomes a powerful tool, not only to create your own identity but also to relate to social space and create a sense of belonging.
