from the far I hear „It’s not meant to be a struggle… you are trying too hard, surrender“, as I am standing next to the entrance of the runway, watching my first ever collection walking down.
„that’s it? that’s what I did all this for?“
was what I actually heard.
I saw how Gabi (my model) in the purple kimono almost lost her headpiece cause I didn’t secure it enough.
I thought that the walking instructions I told my models didn’t communicate well to the audience.
I felt the presence of all the errors of the past view hours- dresses& skirts that where too long for the models to walk in, how Romy (another one of my models) wasn’t able to see the runway as she was wearing the hunched-back-piece, how the sculptural/cloudy piece Jasmine wore, was too complicated to move with on a runway.
I didn’t see lots of people filming,
I didn’t hear lots of applause.
In the background my soundtrack „It’s not meant to be a strife, it’s not meant to be a struggle uphill, you’re trying too hard, surrender, give yourself in“.
and in my head „that’s what I did all of this for?“
AAALL that work, the endless hours in the studio,
all the love and surrender I poured into this collection,
all the reflection about myself, my way of working & the emotions accompanying the process,
the numbing pressure and fear of not being & doing enough.
All the parts of myself, I got to know and learned to accept,
all the energy by body offered me to get here.
When I think of my collection, I see how I learned to hold myself with all my parts, all my emotions, my potential and my flaws.
I really stopped trying too hard, I really did surrender.
And this collection became a witness of all that,
of me learning to create purely from a place of love towards me, the people around me, nature, the world.
Yet I am standing here and while Björk tells me „it’s not meant to be a strife“,
I don’t see it.

now I wish I wouldn’t have been so occupied with doubting my work, cause I could have enjoyed more what I see now when I look at the photos and videos.

especially how beautifully my fabulous models embodied my garments and emotions.
wow you did such an incredible job, thank you for all your

Romy and Rylee in looks 4 and 5 from my graduate collection, ‘autotelic’
‘shielded’ & ‘emergence’.

thank you🫂

🤍 collection concept;

is she a victim or a perpetrator of her own mind?
what can the mind do when left to fend for itself?

autotelic is a narrative through the different facets of my mind - a journey of ongoing emotional growth, something i particularly want to express as i settle into the realisation of my utter independence. from mental turmoil and deep-set discomfort grows a new being: of acceptance, healing and softness, still fragile in its embryonic emergence from darkness.

short film A Place Without Fear by Susanne Deeken informs my textile explorations. an abandoned, decaying house is a metaphor for the mind; frail walls and crumbling paint, representing a decay from growth and a growth from decay.
an innocence turned evil, a destruction turned into protection; all contained within the self.

and so, the vulnerability of the body is adorned with textiles abstract and visceral - intuitive in their tender distress. rough, crackled plaster; peeling wallpaper; destroyed garments, suffocating among one another.

autotelic is a love letter; a materialisation of my commitment to myself.

autotelic
/ˌɔːtə(ʊ)ˈtɛlɪk/
“someone or something; of an activity or creative work; having
an end or purpose within, and not apart from, itself”.
