- Summary/Artist Statement
- Evelina Epp is a German designer who spent her childhood moving frequently, attending eight different schools across three continents. This constant change fostered a deep appreciation for connections and relationships, which now serve as key inspirations in her work. She reflects her personal journey of distant relationships through shapes that encapsulate or create physical distance from the body, blending emotional depth with thoughtful garment construction. Her focus on silhouettes, textile exploration, and draping achieve a perfect balance between structural design and emotional expression.
- About This Collection:
- The "Destiny Lock" collection delves into the interconnectedness of life's events, exploring how we find ourselves in the right place, at the right time, to meet the right person. It challenges the widely held notion of "wrong timing" and questions whether timing is truly the deciding factor in our lives. The collection features techniques like wet felting, knotting, and shibari to symbolize the invisible, energetic connections that bind us, emphasizing that everything unfolds at its destined moment—whether in meeting or parting.
