The project concentrates on change, both in the material and social as well as boldily senses. The starting point consists of traditional Swiss folk costumes for which there was no longer use, be it due to a lack of popularity or visible wear and tear. Some of the items in my collection were taken out of their historical context and given a new connection. From this confrontation with Swiss handwork and the traces inscribed in the material, five outfits emerged that shift between tradition, body and change. The core of this design strategy consists of the question what stories textiles carry within themselves and how femininity unfolds within them as lived and individual experience.
