2. Tell us a little bit about the concept behind your collection.
The collection is based on ‘Plattenbau’. Plattenbau is the model of extreme architectonical simplicity. Monotony. The size and scale of the complete are of such, that details can be missed. Those flats were mainly build under communist regime and according to communism doctrine, were meant for the ideal human being.
This collection is designed with the same architectonical simplicity in mind, combined with influences of casual clothing. Just as the Plattenbau flats are all made out of concrete, the outfits will all be made out of the same white fabric, with screen printed color blocks.
