Ten profiles, ten images of womanhood, ten different “Träume vom Ich” (“Dreams of My Self”). Personal diversity contrasts with signature style: concerted and mature, muted rather than boisterous, with a hint of luxury and glamour from times past. The focus is on sophisticated craftsmanship and creating sensory stimulus for the skin; whether fashioned into a shirtdress from denim, a silk negligee, a leather biker jacket, or an evening gown with 140 organza blossoms. The materials stimulate contemplation and emotions. One single colour keeps the focus on fabric qualities and silhouettes: in the dark blue of the night we dream and rely more on sensations than sight. Manufactured on state-of-the-art, computer-aided knitting machines the collection’s overall fits like a second skin. Knitted darts, accented with a cable pattern, keep the garment in shape.
What appears to be a loose moss stitch is actually the reverse side of a loop stitch. The “Träume vom Ich” collection embodies fun and discovery, perfection and order, sensuality and economy; inviting us to experience a way of life instead of just clothing.
