Sapiens – From Monkey To Monkey
Inspiration
With my collection, I want to represent the animal within us; I want to show how some people—even those of high social rank—can hide this violent, ferocious side. I chose the ape to compare the aspects that have changed or remained unchanged from us (humans) to our ancestors (apes). That’s why the collection is called Sapiens – From Monkey to Monkey, because sometimes I really don’t see “humanity” in humans.
Materials
I chose to illustrate the divide—and the diversity—between the formal man and the ape by pairing formal fabrics and silhouettes with aggressive fabric manipulation and fur, revealing the ferocious animal that no fancy blazer or coat can conceal.
COLLABORATIONS
