Growing up in an unconventional family, Therése Palmhager started to question stereotypes and stereotypical gender roles at an early age. Her interest in human interaction and social constructions shows on her resume that next to several art, textile and fashion studies lists years of engaged social work. “I want to challenge the idea of what we can wear on a daily basis. My vision is a world where we are not limited by our gender or age.” Throughout her years studying fashion at the Rietveld Therese maintained her pleasantly stubborn stance towards all prevailing norms.
