Laura Gerte
ABOUT THE BRAND
Laura Gerte creates garments with a focus on confidence and sustainability, portrayed through empowered female characters. Bodies reclaiming their power stand at the centre of the brand’s identity. Raw femininity, soft drama, future punk, a touch playful, a little naughty and lots of movement. Laura Gerte’s work fuses a deeply personal creative practice with socio-cultural commentary, realized through textile hybrids made from pre-existing garments.

The collection is inspired by the reclamation of villainized female figures, notions of Sarah Ahmed’s „Willful Subjects“ and the aesthetic resistance of the prerafaelites. It reflects on themes of defiance, mythology, otherness, and transformation — the refusal to be contained by moral, social, or aesthetic constraints. It's a re-imagination, not as cautionary tales but as embodiments of agency and power. The presentation stages this reclamation as a collective gesture: a willful chorus of figures stepping out in unapologetic force.
