Three is a party

In the design process of the work Three is a party I worked with childhood memories and nostalgia The process started in Grandpa's photo album but he had a good eye for photography They are crossed by a unique hue of the past From there the process started and I flooded through the childhood memories at my grandparents' house, which is now my home and memories in my childhood home The reading located me in a different time and bed.

From there I began to look at the garments, patterns and siluettes in the pictures The childlike nature that colored the lives of the adults in their daily grind fascinated meI looked at our sisters' children's clothes, grandparents' garments and the colors In that way, I mixed these two worlds together as they color each other in their existence.

I mixed the typical children's clothes, patterns and their practicality with the more formal clothes of the 1960s and 1970s. Most of the garments in my line are also sewn from children's clothes to some extent.
