My father comes from the Java region in Indonesia. As I have a passion for historical and traditional clothing with a focus on Asian and European clothing, it has always been my desire to combine the beauty of different cultures to create something new. I often take a kitschy and imaginative approach, because fashion should be fun.

This project shows how you can experiment with digital fashion to create elaborate accessories in 3D. It is an iteration of an older project which I created for the digital fashion contest in summer 2023 in Germany which got me 2nd place ^^

Also as a german who believes that everyone deserves human rights and living in peace in light to the current Genocide in Gaza: Not in my name, ceasefire now, and shame on germany; I feel so embarassed and frustrated about our countries politics and positon! I will never forget and never forgive.
