Studying at UdK, I felt very unrestricted to evolve skills in whatever directions felt right to me. The University is really well equipped with great workshops, which was very helpful in order to experiment with different materials and manufacturing techniques. It is also a place with a great sense of community and collaboration, that’s where I met Wanda and Reiner, who are now my close companions working together on the label.

In general, I really like to look at old references like traditional craft and manufacturing techniques in order to rethink and translate them into the here and now.
Lace has such a beautiful long history. The techniques to produce it are one of the most important textile innovations of our modern age – innovations that were mainly developed by women who produced it at home by hand. I wanted to track this evolution and find new ways of creating lace in a modern way.

I kind of see it as a comment on the status quo: the fabric that was once thoroughly made by hand and reserved for nobility has stretched down to even the fastest fashion, leaving frayed bits of exposed elastic visible. While well-made pieces are still exquisite, I thought there is definitely room to reimagine this historic fabric.

We embrace sensuality and we want women to feel sensual and confident in our clothes. Our garments are romantic and eccentric, designed for people to celebrate life.

It’s difficult to find a simple answer to such a question. There are so many issues concerning the environment, sustainability, fair pay and working conditions, gender equality within the field of fashion that need to be discussed, rethought and improved. A quick answer would trivialise matters that are important to us.

It’s very important to us to work at our own pace. We want to release work when we feel it is good, whenever we are ready and we consider it is the right moment.
Generally, time is one of our most valuable resources. We are a very small team, so we have to be sure to be on the same page with everything and invest our time wisely. Otherwise, we would spread ourselves very thin and probably won’t achieve the quality we seek to reach. Therefore, for us to genuinely succeed at this point, we don't just need a feature in a publication or a sale but also to gain further insight into the way we want to go forward from here. In this case, it means to be sure that we design something that is valuable to serve. A purpose beyond the borders of the project because then it will never just end up being a 'waste of time.'

I always had a very product-focused approach to making fashion. It’s all knowledge that I gather and use to create.

The most important thing for us is to have fun with what we do. We have a very supportive network of friends that we love to collaborate with. Also, with Berlin being an affordable city to live in, we feel like we have more freedom than we believe we would have elsewhere. The biggest challenge, though. is German bureaucracy.

We love Berlin and we don’t see ourselves moving somewhere else anytime soon.

Absolutely! Right now, we are still evolving the scribble technique. We want to be responsible with the products we put out there and started to work with latex last year, which is a more sustainable alternative to silicon as it is biodegradable.
In the last few months, we’ve done so much product development in this direction and it’s our biggest achievement so far. We experiment with different materials and put a lot of time and effort into finding manufacturers and partners who are willing to experiment with us in order to evolve new ways of making clothes.
