HILDE is a collection about healing, deceleration, and the quiet power of clothing.
Emerging from experiences within an overstretched fashion industry and a period of collective standstill, the collection seeks to reconnect body, garment, and psyche.

Inspired by visionary women such as Hilma af Klint, Emma Kunz, and Hildegard of Bingen, as well as by Art Brut, mysticism, and therapeutic practices,

HILDE explores the healing potential of fashion through color, form, movement, and time. Here, clothing is not understood as a mere surface, but as a carrier of memory, energy, and emotional states.

At the heart of the collection stands the snail, a symbol of slowness, transformation, and resilience.

It represents deceleration, gender neutrality, and an alternative notion of strength: soft, flexible, and mysterious. Its organic presence unfolds across prints, embroideries, draped silhouettes, and structural details.

The materials used are predominantly sourced from existing stocks of previous work and are transformed through hand embroidery, screen printing, and automatic drawing with the sewing machine.

The making process deliberately embraces intuition, chance, and time, resisting control and speed as a conscious counter-movement to the rapid pace of the fashion system.

HILDE invites the wearer to not only dress, but to observe, to feel, and to arrive within the garment.
A collection as a quiet space.
As protection.
As a reminder: Wherever you are, you are here.
