A/W 2011-2012 - THE LAST GLACIER (pt II)

Watching a documentary about the - due to global warming and underlying volcanoes - threatened glaciers, I couldn’t turn my back on this. In clothing I wanted to express the consequences of a changing environment, a feeling of isolated wondering. The reality of devastating volcanic eruptions was the starting point for the colour scheme: The collection starts out black: a translation of a few different influences: the black silhouettes resulted from a feeling of silence, of quietly mourning and saying goodbye. Also they refer to darkness, to volcanic ash blacking out sunlight.
