Who am I? To be yourself and feel comfortable with yourself and the way you are is sometimes very hard. In this design I looked at myself and my emotions, beginning with the question of why the topic of bodies and their transformation through sport and nutrition is such an important theme for me. I finally realized a huge contrast in me. I was always very interested in different body types and the desire to have a beautiful body optimized through training, but I often failed in being disciplined, like keeping with a meal plan. A constant dissatisfaction with my body and my definition by my reflection in the mirror marked me and lead to low self-confidence. Through my self-analysis and the resulting designs I was able to realize that I need to work on myself. Time for yourself is very important and it’s important not to fight the surface problem but to work on the underlying causes of dissatisfaction. 

 

The recurring colors at the base indicate a constant circle that needs to be broken to find the source, seen finally in the draped skirt. The commercial outfit makes the same statement in a subdued way, starting with the circle at the neck piece, ending in a draped dress. Inspired by bondage, the strings symbolize helplessness, repressed emotions and the feeling of being cornered.
