Women's wear collection

I juni 2013 var jeg nede og se Nick Caves Soundsuits på Trapholdt i Kolding. En helt fantastisk udstilling, som er baggrund for denne women's wear kollektion. Han har skabt et frirum for kategorisering – et sted hvor man mister sin identitet, hvor man bliver transformeret til noget andet, noget magisk som er på tværs af kulturer og hudfarve.

In June 2013 I saw Nick Cave’s exhibition Soundsuits at Trapholdt in Kolding. An amazing exhibition, which became the inspiration for my women’s wear collection. Nick Cave has created a free space for categorization – a space where you loose your identity and transformed into something else, something magical which goes across cultures and the color of your skin.

Nick Caves dragter har forbindelse til de vest afrikanske maskerade dragter. Disse hjemmelavede og håndsyede dragter har en stor betydning for rituelle og religiøse handlinger.

His suits have a connection to the West African masquerade suits. These home- and hand-made suits have a significant meaning in rituals and religious acts.
