Sandra Zomer studied Fashion Design at ArtEZ Institute of the Arts in Arnhem, the Netherlands, where she successfully graduated with a bachelor degree in 2016. Her final collection ''illusive mind'' is inspired by the stimulus our senses are exposed to every day and how it effects the individual visual perception of reality. By playing with optical illusions it reveals the limits between reality and subjective perception, the composition of materials, and how they work together with the designs shape, is essential to it. As a designer Sandra Zomer is challenging herself to find new ways to create innovative textiles by using unforeseen materials and by finding new techniques to enable these textiles to strongly influence the shape of each design. The quality of craftsmanship is just as important to her in her work as is an eye for the distinctive detail.

Latest Collection

Illusive mind

Everyone perceives reality in different ways. Our brain interprets what we see in the world around us depending on its individual composition, the functionality of our senses and the communication between eyes and brain. In order to create a visual reality the brain needs certain information from our eyes as input, such as motion, edges and color. The collection ''Illusive mind'' focuses on playfully distorting this communication in order to reveal the boundaries between reality and individual perception: surrendering to an illusion in which given materials, appearances, shapes and prints create a motion that exists only in our mind.
