The title and concept of Marie-Louise’s bachelor collection is more than just a wordplay; it is a heartfelt tribute to remarkable individuals within her family’s farm life history, such as her grandmother Gerda, who inspired her to pursue her dream of becoming a fashion designer.

In tracing her family heritage through the garments and stories of past generations, Marie-Louise learned an invaluable lesson: persistence leads to progress. This understanding made her commitment to creating sustainably — through repurposing and handcraft — a natural choice.

With this collection, she brings life on the farm to the catwalk by following a few guiding principles:

• Exclusively natural deadstock fabrics

• As much handcraft as possible

• An authentic farm life color palette

• Repurposing old family treasures

• Outfits named after historic key family members
