After intensive research, I found potential in the European linen industry as a “slower” local alternative. 

To understand the effort behind a garment and to gain a better understanding, I handmade from Austrian flax fibers a dress as a prototype. Over 60 hours of spinning, weaving and finishing.

With a total supply chain of 295 km, the distance is 0.9% as long as the estimated supply route of a fast fashion cotton piece. The personal connection and esteem is 100% higher.

Fashion Therapy is the first recovery step of the relationship with garments and myself.
