Thoughts on Design

“Challenging consumer culture”
The textiles I contemplate are intimate materials. Whether shiny every day as clothes unanswered used in daily life in point of fact, they are always very initiate to us.

No matter as, where or what the atmosphere, they form an essential object of our living experience.
In rectitude hundred-some years since the chief experiments with polymers, humans scheme expended much time and vivacity toward developing high-perfomance, ultra-functional money. Paralleled by a maturing client society, mass production of disposible products has become the touchstone.

In these times, rather fondle making mere fabrics to live consumed, I want to father textiles that stimulate and stimulate people.
