Et brud med perfektheds-kulturen

HVAD? En æstetisk-poetisk kollektion, der udfordrer det perfekte og vækker nysgerrighed.

HVORDAN? Med en designfaglig og eksperimenterende tilgang, undersøger og belyser Karoline Elsigkroppens diversitet og rykker ved opfattelsen af “det skønne” – både hvad angår krop, silhuet og proportioner. Med udgangspunkt i zero-waste principper og eksperimenter med kollage, positive/negative rum undersøger designeren, hvilke muligheder, der ligger i fraklip, der normalt frasorteres i produktion.

HVORFOR? Vi lever i et samfund, hvor vi stræber efter at være perfekte. Vi skal præstere og vores præstationer skal helst være fejlfrie. Vi lever i en perfekthedskultur! Med sin kollektion viser Karoline Elsig, fra et modefagligt perspektiv, sin fortolkning af det skønne og sublime - med kroppen som omdrejningspunkt.

WHAT? An aesthetic-poetic collection that challenges perfection and arouses curiosity.

HOW? Taking an experimental design approach Karoline Elsig examines and demonstrates the body's diversity and thus pushes the perception of “the beautiful” – as it applies to body, silhouette and proportions. Based on zero-waste principles and experiments with collages and positive/negative spaces, the designer explores the options presented by offcuts that are normally discarded in production.

WHY? We live in a society where everyone is striving for perfection. We must perform, and our performance must preferably be flawless. We live in a culture of perfection! Karoline Elsig’s collection reveals her interpretation of the beautiful and the sublime from a fashion perspective – with the body as the focal point.
