concept

This luscious, colourful collection was inspired by cross-stitching on tablecloths and was intended for young individualists. Traditional handiwork was combined with computer generated aesthetics and old-fashioned stitched motifs were broken up into pixel images. This is a streetwear collection that was meant to provoke with its powerful colours Sandra Faessler wanted to confront young men with a clear, direct message: are cool guys ready for an individual style?
