Real Utopia

Inspired by nature and ancient knowledge, this collection was inspired by modular transformable structures and shapes. Silhouettes that remind of mountain structures and ancient drapes using a combination of raw processed materials and regenerated materials that move organically around the body. Over the years of evolution in nature there has always been an intimate link between shape, structure, material and growth. These close relations between one another were translated into knitwear and taken into consideration as taking design decisions aiming for a circular way of creation as nature is demonstrating.
