About

Copenhagen based Textile Designer BA: Design School Kolding, Denmark MA: The Swedish school of textiles, Sweden Techniques: Digital jacquard weaving, Hand weaving, Rope braiding, Zero waste garment construction.

The Sky Is The Mirror is a result of a contemporary revision of astrology through three textile techniques; digital jacquard weaving, rope braiding, and handweaving. Using astrology as the focal point and acting as the center of the concept within personalization and visual inspiration, a collection of 5 wearable textiles has been designed. Astrology is incorporated into the collection through a thoroughly developed system in which the user will receive their astrological birth chart as a wearable textile collection. Ancient pattern construction and the craft of textile production has created a zero-waste approach in the becoming of the 5 silhouettes.
