YOGURT & POPS WAS A BIG PART OF MY EARLY CHILDHOOD, I ATE IT EVERY SINGLE DAY AT LEAST ONCE. THAT’S THE REASON WHY I CHOSE IT AS INSPIRATION FOR THIS PROJECT. I STARTED BY NOTING EVERYTHING THAT CAME TO MY MIND WHEN THINKING ABOUT YOGURT AND HONEY PUFFS. IN ESSENCE THAT ARE TWO THINGS, AGRICULTURE AND MY CHILDHOOD.

MAINSTREAM WAS SUPER IMPORTANT TO ME DURING THE PRIMARY SCHOOL, AS I JUST WANTED TO FIT IN, IN THIS COMPLETELY NEW ENVIRONMENT. AS HOMAGE TO THAT TIME I DESIGNED, BASED ON RESEARCH OF THE FASHION HISTORY BACK TO THE 15TH CENTURY, A FIT THAT THEORETICALLY COULD ALWAYS BE MAINSTREAM.

DUMPSTER DIVING IS WHAT I DID FOR THIS PROJECT. IN THE TIME BEFORE MY GRADUATION, I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE ONLY THING WE AS INDIVIDUALS CAN DO TO REDUCE THE DRAMATIC IMPACT ON THE CLIMATE BY THE FASHION INDUSTRY, IS THE REGULATION OF OUR CONSUMING BEHAVIOUR. THIS CONCLUSION WAS MY INSPIRATION FOR THIS PROJECT.

SPEAK UP IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WE AS HUMAN BEINGS HAVE TO DO. AT THE LATEST WITH MY GRADUATION I FELT, IT IS ALSO MY DUTY TO STAND UP FOR A WORLD IN WHICH EVERY ORGANISM FEELS COMFORTABLE.

YOGA BECAME PART OF MY LIFE, AS I NO LONGER NEEDED TO FOCUS EXCLUSIVELY ON MY GRADUATION. THE CURIOSITY REGARDING NEW THINGS WAS A LOT BROADER THAN JUST NEW SPORTS. I GOT ALSO NEW IDEAS IN RELATION TO FASHION. ONE NIGHT THE IDEA OF A METAL BACKPACK CAME TO ME. SOON FOLLOWED BY THE METAL SHOES.

NATURE BASED CYBORG THAT WOULD BE MY DREAM COME TRUE. AS TO MY UNDERSTANDING A CYBORG WOULD HAVE TO BE BETTER THAN A HUMAN. THEREFORE A NATURE BASED CYBORG WOULD BE PERFECT BECAUSE A LOT OF THINGS IN NATURE ARE BETTER THAN A HUMAN. FROM MY FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH THAT TOPIC, A PICTURE OF THE HEAD OF THE ANDROID AVA FROM THE MOVIE „EX MACHINA“ BY ALEXANDER GARLAND, MY INTEREST GREW SO BIG THAT A FRIEND SAID, SHE NO LONGER WANTS TO SEE ME IF I KEEP SHARING MY, TOO HER IRRITATING, THOUGHTS ABOUT CYBORGS.

THE PYJAMA SUIT IS THE COMBINATION OF A PYJAMA AND AN ELEGANT SUIT. IT CAN BE WORN FOR A VARIETY OF OCCASIONS. FOR EXAMPLE, AS DECEASED PERSON AT THE VIEWING BEFORE THE FUNERAL.
