Combining traditional and modern techniques
During the design process I built upon these keywords:
.organic + clearcut + herbal + puritanical + minimalistic
.organic + clearcut + herbal + decorative + sophisticated
.simplified, plentiful, natural
.the structural elements are visible in the setting of the film, I followed that in the designing of the felt clothes as well

As for the materials, they are premium textiles which are dyed with plants or using the eco print technique.
I create basic felted pieces like handfelted blazers. I used unique techniques
Each piece dyed with plants, using eco print technique. The pieces look different because of the variant dyeing process and several plants, and still harmonised. The forms are basic, emphasizing the rich textiles.
