Fashion involves more than material garments. It is extended to the settings surrounding it. We wear and dress in more than clothes, we do it in scents and lights, in objects and images. Today, when fashion mostly is consumed in pictures - a representation of the physical garment - there is a need for a shifted view of what fashion design is and potentially can become. This work aims to explore and extend the domain of fashion by using text titles as a catalyst for creative activity and seek to move beyond traditional outlets of fashion. Each title becomes a project in itself. Together they form a collection of products in the widest sense that informs the logics of my practice and pose as a suggestion for an alternative approach to collection making as well as to what contemporary fashion design can incorporate.
