Folk costumes are a constant motif in the picture-postcard image of Switzerland. In everyday life, however, they have become increasingly forgotten, including the craft heritage they epitomise. The aim of this work is to take the design language and the traditional handwork of Swiss folk costumes and to transpose them into a contemporary street style. Using second-hand materials, the result is a collection of accessories that combines tradition with modernity. The collection represents an invitation to question familiar images, to rediscover the fascination of traditional creations in today’s context and to re-examine old handwork.
