As my illustrations are getting better and I’m starting to feel confident my efforts might be perceived as interesting, I decided to document my work, producing clothing to wear to the upcoming Wave Gotik Treffen Festival.
Initially visiting for the bands, I got captured by the fashion spectacle the WGT is – much more than other festivals – a haven to. Challenged by the magnificent works of personal expression wandering the Agra grounds, I succumbed to the urge to realize my own vision of high-end Gothic design in clothing.
After trying about a bit, finding out what I could do and being seemingly successful at it, I decided to go all out this year and prove myself by creating five distinct outfits for both me and my companion, by bundling sights, that have touched and shaped me through my life, with my own visions of form and beauty.
Routinely documenting the design choices and motives behind my work seemed most practical, both as a form of schedule to maintain for myself as well as an antiphon to the many questions that remain unasked over the restrictive time of a festival.
For all these reasons, I invite you, my dear visitor, to submit any remark you might have concerning the articles written, may they be critical observations or appreciative ponderings.
In return, I will do my best to clarify myself.
