“This collection is inspired by the Bescherkind from the Sorbs (A small community in the east of Germany). This traditional costume is made for a girl and became the number one inspiration for this collection. In the Sorbs culture, they consider this girl in this costume as half bride, half-divine being. She is the oldest virgin in town and this is her transition into becoming a woman. The idea behind this collection is making this girls tradition into a menswear collection of boys who are the chosen ones, showing anonymity and sexuality at the same time, searching for a balance in between these things. It’s time to switch up some roles.”
