The poem "Ginkgo biloba" by Goethe motivated me to question if such a leaf is just one living being separating itself or actually two leaves fusing together as one entity. This observation led me to an association with the Popper youth culture - not to judge a book only by its cover and to take a closer look underneath the facade. Everybody is not always who he seems to be - nor who he claims to be. For example, it is very rare for people to profess to their brand consciousness and consumerism even though there prevails an overall consent of the modern western society being apolitical and consumer orientated, so to speak for it to mirror a "Popper society".
"POPPERS AMONGST US", Spring 2017 embraces this idea of a piece of clothing acting as either a distraction or an intensification of the wearers personality and feelings. The design concept fundamentally questions this double layered approach on a collection of menswear inspired by the Popper youth culture. The oversized pieces reflect different point of views by concealing the wearers´ silhouette.

The Capsule Collection "POISE" Fall 2016 is based on two inspirations. First of all, I focus on today´s longing for a healthy body in modern society; By exercising regularly we aim to cleanse our body from germs. Therefore the clothing references go back to the origin of this lifestyle; the very first discovery of bacterial germs by Robert Koch in the beginning of the 20th century. Secondly, the silhouettes, closure and detail solutions are inspired from Horseback riding wear. Contemporaneously the sport became popular in Germany and finally got co-opted into the Olympic Games in 1912.

For our beloved Brother&Friend
Gran T. Inn
Gran used to be a self-conscious, dynamic, young man who constantly looked for a thrill in his life. Unhappily he became tired of life and gave up on himself. Soon enough he found out that adrenaline tended to kill his boredom. He started challenging himself and exceeded his personal standards by inhaling the smell of speed. Car racing made him feel vivid. It was ironic how he felt most alive, when his heart was just about to skip a few beats. The thrill of speed suddenly overcame the fear of death. Even though we cannot comprehend Gran´s addiction and only love, we will remember him as a striving and beloved friend.
