In order to push the boundaries of fashion design, it is questioned how far fashion and society can go hand in hand. This collection examines a very fragile and socially critical topic. Clothing represents the phases of depression and the emotional impact on physical resilience. Monochrome coloring gives the outfits a calm character. The interplay of the different structures and materials represents the contrast between the bright external disguise and the dull internal melancholy of the depressed. High-quality craftsmanship and innovative, thoughtful linework bring the looks into today.
Jennifer Heinen is a Berlin based Designer, recently graduated with excellence, seeking for the new and important in life.
"Fashion is an instrument for self-realization. I am passionate about fashion design and fashion styling - My goal is to give people a new and positive experience with themselves through clothes. Innovation in clothing is of the utmost importance - we have to push the sustainability further to change the world to the better. We fashion designers have responsibilities and need to open society's eyes to the important issues in life."
