FW19 collection "The Act of Absence" was inspired by a thought that the absence is more striking than presence.
By exploring the topic of loss of identity, feeling alienated and replacing the missing parts of us - the importance of the space between the body and the garment comes to the focus, alway
s allowing the movement and the wearer to feel shielded.
"Thirty spokes meet in the hub, but the empty space between them is the essence of the wheel. Pots are formed from clay, but the empty space within it is the essence of the pot. Walls with windows and doors form the house, but the empty space within it is the essence of the house." ~ Lao-Tse
Collection "The Act of Absence" was developed during the MA studies in Garment Design at Institut Français de la Mode.
