you are not authentic unless your eyes mirror your soul // 2012 // Diplomarbeit Modedesign
The digital media function as a virtual identity finder in today’s society. I flirt as „Coco85“ with „dirtyharry“. My short hair has become a long blond mane. I have revamped my image. Each parameter of the idealization of my new virtual identity, of my self-constructed avatar is freely definable. Here I am sitting comfortably at home and experience role-playing adventures that become even more exciting as reality and form uncomplicated adequate replacement.
The result is a collection of 8 women outfits that reflects the critical engagement with the issue of „self-isolation“, using the example “gaming”, in an abstract way.
Materials used are silk and napa-leather, the shoes were made of poured concrete with bolt-on straps.
