I think everyone has a heritage from the geographic place we’re born in, it became more clear to me as I moved away from Sweden. But what influenced me much more is what I went through growing up and that I have lived with a constant presence of mental illness around me.

As I was applying for different fashion schools I went here and fell in love. It was really time for me to leave my home country. I was looking for a challenge and to get some perspective by changing environment.

Well, I definitely have become more political and my own language has grown. But I think that would’ve happened regardless of where I was living. But Berlin is a city that encourages you to find your own way.

I never felt I had a muse. I’m inspired by people, friends, conversations we have, books I read, sociology, psychology and politics.

Humans, humanity, life. I’ve always been a seeking person. I even tattooed ”the meaning” on my arm. I think it’s an absolutely ridiculous word, but still I’m looking for it.

They are totally connected. I don’t think I could work with fashion in any other way. To make visually pretty things only gets boring after a while. I think it’s important to connect my work to other things that I'm passionated about and find important. I use my work to educate myself and to give myself time and opportunity to really dig deep into a subject that I’m curious about.

The only answer is that the role we as citizens take in capitalism, is sacrificing our happiness. We have to look for it forever for this kind of economic system to keep on going. I just wanted to bring awareness to that fact, and believe me, a lot of people never ever thought about it.

I’m definitely not finished developing, so I don’t want to say anything definite. I never think I will. But I think I will keep on using my drive and lust for seeking within humanity and our minds and build my work around that. I want to use my work as a tool to have a conversation about our time which I think is horrible in many ways. Also I’m focusing a lot on sustainability and for every collection I make I want to amp up that game more and more.

Any person that also have a need to talk about things. I will never define my collections with genders, age or seasons. It’s irrelevant.
