    Mediterranean Allover Print
    A summer-inspired allover design created as a client project, blending opulent Baroque ornamentation with classical Greek influences. Decorative columns and tile-inspired elements are enriched with intricate floral motifs, creating a sophisticated dialogue between architecture and nature. A striking Baroque-style border frames the composition, adding structure and ornamental depth to the overall layout. The color palette — turquoise, blue, cream, and touches of gold — evokes Mediterranean elegance and sunlit summer luxury. The interplay of rich detailing and fresh seasonal tones makes this design ideal for refined womenswear collections.

    Future-Folk SS27
    In this all-over print, I aimed to consciously stage contrasts and develop a distinct visual language. The foundation is a knit-inspired texture with clearly visible stitches, adding depth and a textile, winter-like authenticity to the design. On top of this, I developed modern, reduced ethnic-inspired ornaments that create a surprising sense of lightness through their slightly pixelated appearance. Large and small motifs interact with each other, repeat rhythmically, and are complemented by floral elements as well as a defined border. This creates a considered system that is not purely decorative, but structured and intentionally built. The contrast is also reflected in the material concept: The visually warm, tactile knit aesthetic meets the fluid elegance of a silk dress. This tension gives the design a contemporary relevance and makes it versatile. In terms of color, the combination of soft pastel tones and precisely placed black creates a clear, modern effect with strong recognizability.
    SS27_Côte Noire
    SS27 – CÔTE NOIRE The inspiration behind this placement print was an irregular, effortless summer shirt dress with a relaxed yet bold attitude. Tropical elements like palm trees, exotic flowers, and a panther create a balance between wild elegance and edgy streetwear energy. The artwork was designed in a watercolor style, blending soft textures with expressive details. Layered statement typography across the shirt adds a strong graphic character to the overall design. The color palette combines earthy beige and sand tones with deep black, warm brown, soft olive, muted green, and hints of sunset orange — creating a modern tropical mood with a raw, cool edge. Styled with heavy boots and a bold leather bag, the look feels confident, effortless, and contemporary.
    Mesh Shirt SS27 Sun ande Breeze
    For this mesh shirt concept, I combined a distressed vintage-inspired print with soft summer elements like palms, “Sun & Breeze” aesthetics, and antique-inspired details. The idea was to merge worn textures with elegant ornamental graphics to create a modern yet nostalgic mood. As a graphic designer focused on fashion and textile visuals, I’m always looking for new collaborations with fashion brands, creatives, and apparel labels.
    Saint_Tropez SS27
    Inspired by summer days in Saint-Tropez: a silk dress with a nostalgic touch — an off-white base featuring allover red hearts with warm red-orange roses, playful pink flourishes, and the toujours lettering. Styled with a beige blazer and heeled sandals, the look combines timeless femininity with a subtle old-school charm. Delicate lace details at the hem add lightness and elegance to the summer mood. As a graphic designer for fashion brands, I love bringing prints and stories to life and I’m always open to creative collaborations.
