Her relationship with fashion began far from the traditional fashion capitals. Growing up in a small town in Germany, she discovered fashion through vintage stores, old magazines and image archives, developing an instinct for finding beauty in places where fashion does not immediately announce itself. That curiosity continues to shape her work today.
Her visual language is rooted in research and juxtaposition. She draws from pop culture, fashion history, subcultures and vintage imagery, combining these references with contemporary fashion to create something familiar yet unexpected. Texture, unconventional materials, layering and visual dissonance are recurring elements, with clothing used not simply to dress a subject but to construct character and give an image a sense of physicality.
Playfulness runs through her work, often balancing luxury with something slightly off, cheeky or unexpected. She is drawn to the tension between glamour and humor, beauty and imperfection, reality and fantasy. Rather than relying on conventional fashion settings, she often places fashion in unexpected environments, from brutalist public spaces and private homes to forgotten interiors and landscapes far from the established fashion circuit. At the heart of her practice is the belief that beauty can exist anywhere if you learn how to see it.
