Tell us more about your collection!

I never have this one inspiration that I base a collection or garment on. The influences keep coming in, there’s always something that inspires me and I keep going in different directions. In the beginning I was inspired by a Dutch artist called Marliz Frencken. The most interesting to me were her glass sculptures. The ones I was drawn to were depicting different girls in provocative ways. For instance, she put the Virgin Mary in a bra and covered her in diamonds and pearls. I was like: “Wow, she is crazy!” She also uses these pinks and greens and loud colours and as you can see by what I’m wearing, I’m really into that. But she also mixes all types of items and materials and it still looks super nice. So that made me want to use bold combinations. Like mixing more ‘erotic’ fabrics with old-fashioned ones.

Thank you
