The choice of this topic stemmed from a personal need to explore the creative and emotional relationships in work. The general goal was to provoke a process that resulted in the creation of works illustrating introspective emotions, with the intention of breaking down the barriers to creativity.
Building on previous experience and expanding upon it, the development of the women’s collection was based on the overlap of experimental and commercial elements. Driven by self-reflection and questioning, I studied and connected surrealism with my work. I drew inspiration not only from the visually appealing and intriguing works of this movement but also from one of Breton’s ideas of surrealism, which aimed to unify dreams and reality.

The initial idea for creating a graduation collection came when we were talking about the graduation thesis a few months ago and came to the conclusion that the graduation collection should be something that we are, something that keeps us awake, something that makes us think and that makes us drive forward. That was the moment when I understood what designer fashion means – that’s when the idea of a graduate collection became clear to me. It was not difficult for me to see what it is that makes me unable to sleep and what thoughts make me, so naturally, the idea of the graduate collection starts from that. The work process was liberating for me, it was a space in which I discovered and got to know myself.
The materials used in the creation of the collection are primarily natural fabrics for suits and various types of cotton. There is also a lot of handwork in this collection, and I used the technique for hand-stringing beads, from which the top was created. Also, there is a lot of screen printing in the collection, which helped me to bring my idea to the end.

When I started thinking about inspiration I couldn’t identify it in the beginning. As I was having a difficult time with it my mother stepped in and as we were talking about it I recognized that my inspiration was standing there the whole time. She was my inspiration. Everything she is I want to convey in my work. Being strong and vulnerable at the same time.
For the materials I used denim and waterproof materials mixed with mohair wool which I used for crocheting. One of the unique details in my collection are mixing materials and handmade pieces in one garment.
With my collection I would like to tell how someone or something can be strong and vulnerable at the same time and how strength can be beautiful.

Never before have we lived in an extremely liquid period, and this is also reflected in the multiple identities of the human universe. IED Istituto Europeo di Design has chosen to tell this story through the eyes of young talents who are experiencing this complex and fragile moment firsthand.
Multitude collects a wide range of perspectives of what IED students from Italy and Spain are envisioning for the future of fashion. Their knowledge and skills are represented through collections inspired by different topics, from workwear or military uniforms to fairytales, Louise Bourgeois or paintings by artist Ilya Repin. Yet, all of them have one thing in common: a need for freedom, expressing themselves, and raising one’s own voice through fashion.

Personal preoccupation as a fashion designer and visual artist focuses on researching multiple forms of textile manipulation through conventional and unconventional techniques
The “BUTTERFLY EFFECT“ collection was inspired by the search of multiple forms of textile manipulation through conventional and unconventional techniques such as embroidery, digital printing, screen printing, taking phytomorphic and arthropod inspirations from nature, analysing psychological topics, multiple changes stylistic but also the way in which the versatility of the clothes is presented.
The materials used to make the garments are deadstock, upcycled items and natural fibres, supported by @irina_schrotter.
