The fundamental question is, where’s the balance between simplicity and complexity?
How simple can you make it? – How complex does it have to be?

250 ML… It all started by finding these perfectly white can of milk and my obsession for making Coffee. Milk as a way of simplicity and coffee as a reference to complexity. These two sources gave me inspiration for producing new fabrics and a final collection of 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10 Lattes.

1000ML represents a collection of ten different kinds of Lattes, “layered” by silver duck-tape. What first started as case of simplicity, instead of sewing, became a real form of complexity, I found out later. But because of that it opened my eyes for new ways of creating fabrics. Which I think, is one of the most exciting things in fashion. Most of the fabrics I used in my collection I did print, laser graft or treaded with my own special secret. The most special print in my collection is comes from a photograph I’ve made a of a honey mustard dressing which I was making. I used it to laser graft two items and to decorate my final piece of the collection the “small cappucino”.
