Sketchbook Memories Dreams Pictures
The idea behind this collection is to assemble memories of places as in a sketchbook. The different types of design show symbols, pictures or drawing portraying emotions.
Sketchbook — I keep memories, tales of vibrant travels, moments of movement, and conversations. Everything captured in images and notes. I am telling tales and stories.
The Craftsmanship
Katazome
With the help of the Katazome printing technique, individual fragments of memories are turned into a whole picture.
Katazome is a Japanese printing technic which works similar to screen-printing. Prints are realized with the help of a stencil. These stencils can be reused several times.
Each individual illustration is carefully selected and combined with others to match the specific garment before being printed by hand. Each print is a surprise. Although it is a stencil, the result can vary greatly depending on the fabric and the pressure applied to the stencil during printing.
To ensure that each piece matches the designer’s vision, some prints are painted by hand afterwards.
History of the individual motifs
Each illustration is connected to a story. I will gradually tell the individual stories and publish them here…
