What non-fashion related sources or experiences have influenced your current collection?

The collection is inspired by Donna Haraway's 1985 essay 'A cyborg Manifesto' and the 1995 anime 'Ghost in the Shell' . Both explore the merging of humans and machines and question fundamental concepts of identity, gender and technology. The collection & presentation explore the dissolution of traditional boundaries like human/machine, natural/artificial and gender. It embraces a hybrid aesthetic, blending organic shapes with technologically inspired elements all while being fully upcycled.
