In her research, Hailee Talbot grapples with the similarities of Haute Couture and Catholicism, and their connection to graphic design through harmony, balance, and rhythm. This garment is a manifestation of that research with a circle skirt reading: “FASHION IS RELIGION IS,” with the intention of it being read as both, ‘Fashion is Religion’ and ‘Religion is Fashion.’ The capelet, headpiece, and fabric colors are signifiers of various Catholic regalia.

“Laced” is a revolutionary series that redefines sexuality, reclaiming it from societal norms. By intertwining lingerie with letterforms, it distorts the male gaze into the female, empowering women to own their sexuality. It celebrates intimacy and femininity, asserting our right to autonomy over our bodies and choices. In a world where equality is often lacking, “Laced” stands as a symbol of empowerment and defiance, inviting us to embrace our desires and rewrite the narrative on our terms.

The poem “Einsamer Tag” (1965) by F. Wetzel, set in lead type, served as the starting point for the fabric print. The text, which was initially printed on paper, was deconstructed and digitally transformed into a pattern.

In this series of screen-printed text works I respond directly to Slanted Magazine’s open submission #44. The word FASHION is abused and interrupted with the words FASCIST, ADDICT and VICTIM. Presented in Futura typeface — crossover type of the fashion and art world — the present text works, hanging explicitly from chrome clothesline pegs, are realised via a combination of designed and destructive processes, including screen-printing, stencilling, pleating, cutting and drilling.

As a hommage to the jeans with its origins in workwear and todays characteristics of that field, this knit fuses these two worlds together by using the highly durable kevlar yarn as playful tool to „print“ the words wear and we are as a hint to the title. „Priniting“ these words by using heat to partially melt the greyish coat of the kevlar yarn, only leaving a solid black core creates a contrast between washed out grey ground and bold black letters symbolising the to merged worlds.

The fashion collection “Namak-e Safar” (The Taste of the Journey) talks about the distances and made to support the project “Type & Politics – Depoliticizing Arabic Letters.”

Hand-embroidered Cyrillic letter Ж (Zhe) on a denim jacket. Made for a solo
exhibition called “Imperfect alphabet” by Todor Georgiev in 2019.

Hardwear started out as a way to experiment with new forms of meaning in fashion, design & filmmaking. It is a collective project that brings new voices from different creative fields to merge and give birth to something novel.

“See You Soon” was a fundraiser aimed at supporting the Robert Johnson Club during the pandemic lockdown. Centered on collaboration and the interplay between music, art, and design, 16 renowned creatives were invited to contribute limited edition multiples.

The typeface is inspired by the Japanese mending technique called “sashiko”. The stitching technique consists of simple running stitches that also creates ornamental shapes using patterns. This way, an old piece of clothing is repaired, strengthened and embellished.
One of the sashiko pattern is reimagined as a typeface and applied on indigo-dyed fabric using an embroidery machine.

Milan and Jonas collaborated on the design of a custom scarf for their friends as a creative exercise. But caution is advised. The scarf is so hot and stylish, a heatstroke might be likely 😉

Studio WHAT_ creates clothing objects that are the results of our artistic research. It explores the technique of defamiliarisation in the design of physical objects and discuss the shadow spaces of reality. One of stronger results of this work is the line of Signal-Bags, which fully retains the DNA of the signal waistcoat. The waistcoat is a familiar sign of street life everydayness, where it serves the human needs. We decided to give it a new role.
