Mødet med sig selv
Gennem sin kollektion fortæller Julie Mikkelsen om sin egen transition fra sin medfødte jordbundne arv som uldjyde til designerens silkesvøbte fremtidsdrømme om ekstravagance og et fornemt liv. Hun genkender sig selv i fablen om den grimme ælling, fra dun til udvokset fjer, opdagelsen af identiteten i vandspejlet. Den terapeutiske kollektion udgør vandspejlet, ved at udtrykke transitionens forkerthedsfølelse.

Self-encounter
Through her collection Julie Mikkelsen tells the story of her own transition from down-to-earth beginnings in Jutland’s wool country to the designer’s silk-wrapped dreams of a future with extravagance and finery. She recognizes herself in the fairy tale of the Ugly Duckling, from down to fully developed feather and discovering one’s true identity in one’s reflection in the pond. The therapeutic collection acts as a similar reflection pond by expressing the sense of wrongness associated with the transition.
