HESSENCE ERITAGE
The title and concept of my bachelor collection is more than just a wordplay; it's a heartfelt tribute to remarkable individuals within our farm life history like my grandmother, Gerda, who has inspired me to pursue my dream of becoming a fashion designer.
On my journey to uncover my family heritage on the premises of inspiring designs through the ages, and the individuals who wore them, I learned an invaluable lesson: persistence leads to progress. Therefore, a commitment to create sustainably by repurposing and as much handcraft as possible was an easy one for me to make. I aspire to bring life on the farm to the catwalk by following a few simple principles for this collection:
- Exclusively natural deadstock fabrics
- As much hand-craft as possible
- Authentic farm life color palette
- Repurpose old family treasures
- Outfits named after historic key family members
