In my collection “Perfect Human“, I address the contrary relationship between perfection and humanity. On the one hand: Artificial, smooth, without flaws; and on the other hand: Alive, imperfect, real, rough, full of ups and downs. The title “Perfect Human“ is intended to show the supposedly irreconcilable contradiction between both. No one can be perfect and no one should be. In today’s society, full of performance pressure and need for self-improvement, there is apparently no room for the actually imperfect nature of humans. But we have to get rid of this notion and redefine perfection. Our imperfections make us unique and individually beautiful. Therefore, this collection is celebrating humanity in its contradictions, in its vulnerability and in all its strengths and weaknesses.

I have created six signature looks in which these two worlds meet and become an empowering symbiosis. The collection shows the beauty of imperfection.

For me, it was important that my topic is in the context of my generation‘s experience of the world, but also to have a personal connection. We are permanently surrounded by social media, suggesting self-optimization and pressure to perform ideally on a daily basis. I myself also tend towards perfectionism. That is why I often struggle with self-doubt. I have the feeling that I have to constantly outperform myself, to meet expectations and always have to get even better without making any mistakes. This was a constant companion within my studies in the last few years.

With the collection I created something imperfect, that is still worth of love. So take a closer look and discover the beauty of imperfection.
