Einsamkeit |
The “Einsamkeit” (Solitude) Collection is based on the retreat of a young woman. Instead of fighting for attention and recognition, she attempts to find herself. The source of inspiration was singer Laura López Castro, known for her “beautiful melancholy”. Her music, the feeling of searching and finding, yearning and questioning, were transformed into a four-part collection with 20 looks: from the initial insecurity and imbalance, the search for solutions and answers, clarification and structure, to selfdetermination and contentment. The end is represented by body-defining silhouettes with swinging fashions made of delicate, slightly transparent silk fabrics with elaborate drapings in soft, smoky shades of colour. |
| Jury Statement |
Instead of losing herself in generalities, Nina Kanitz selects and examines a real person, and develops her concept from this basis – internal emigration in opposite position to the topic “Attention please?!” Her great talent is evidenced by her ability to create a suggestive impression as the basis for her collection: the sketches, colours, photography, and text of her documentation are very strong and beautiful.
