🪷 fashionably late(?) as always: I had the honour of participating this year’s Frankfurt Fashion Lounge once again. Here’s a little note for those who'd like to read~ (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ

This year's theme was “Longevity” and, for me, it makes me think of tradition and culture, which are one of the longest standing parts of this world. I tried to pick up inspiration from Thai vintage eras and hopefully translate it to modern wearability, using only discarded fabrics I’ve collected over the years. 🌾
Since it was also the 10th anniversary of @frankfurtfashionlounge , I wanted to experiment with menswear and create my first ever men’s outfit. Since I graduated in womenswear (which I adore), I did struggle quite a bit with the pattern since I have only little experience and no one to measure, until I rang up my dear friend @matteodemuth to be my sizing saviour. Alas, I was able to move on to my easier women’s piece (or so I thought). My sewing machine decided to give up the ghost and then said “haha just kidding”, so I was able to continue sewing (a lot by hand) all night, hours before the show, in full stress & adrenaline and a couple too many cups of caffeine, which I admit gives me a shameful amount of pleasure & satisfaction. And then I had to pray everything would fit the models that I was given the day of, but luck was on my side, and they all looked beautiful nonetheless. 🤍🙂‍↕️✨

Thank you @sevincyerli @frankfurtfashionlounge for giving us a platform, I’m forever grateful. And to my teacher @soeny75 who has been helping her students through and through. 🦢

Thank yous to my stunning models @klenemarlenee @liviamelodyca @nick.lpa06 @freiselk from @eastwestmodels @eastwestmodels_scout for being so sweet and easy to work with.

Thank yous to the great photographers

And closest to my heart: thank you to my friends. Your support and love is felt and gives me strength. I love you.

Oh what a pleasure it was meeting wonderful people filled with creativity and passion. Thank you for having me and treating me kindly. I’m privileged to know you all.

Vielen lieben Dank und hoffentlich bis zum nächsten Mal. 💌🍸
