My working style and inspiration

For me, fashion means change – constantly changing,  steady in dialogue between craftsmanship, creativity and society. That's why I regularly leave the studio to seek inspiration where fashion really arises and lives.

Three sources of my inspiration:

  • Factories – There I recognise what is technically feasible and what innovations are emerging in materials and workmanship.
  • Fashion shows – They show how brands stage trends and innovations.
  • Streets & everyday life – This is where fashion becomes real: how people pick up on trends, combine them and integrate them into their life.

This interplay supplies me a clear sense of the dynamic of fashion and the market.

More than observation – active exchange

In addition, I regularly attend fashion lectures, trend committees and international trade fairs. There, I do not only gain inspiration but also engage in valuable exchanges with other creative minds, manufactures and brands. With an eye for detail – recognizing a new material, striking colour combination or an influence from apparel – constantly unlocks new, creative approaches.

Modern tools for optimized processes.

To implement these ideas in time, I consciously use 3D design and AI. This allows to visualise concepts, test options and accelerate decisions – an obvious advantage for my customers, saving time and money.
