During the last years of studying at Scandinavian Academy of Fashion design, i have gained a lot of different skills. Both in design process as well as the creation of the clothing product in hand. Which I have used both in my Freelance work and internships, as well as in my school projects. My BA collection deals with the persistent issue of the Madonna/Whore complex and presents a modern interpretation of significant feminist art and activism throughout history. The collection aims to embody the female progressive movement and thereby create a ‘Choir of Voices’. I received the "Benedikte Prize" from my school SAFD for my BA collection.
