Inner Bloom

Inner Bloom explores the quiet process of becoming.

Long before we bloom outwardly, there is an unseen process beneath the surface - growing, shedding, changing, and learning to embrace who we are becoming.

Damask, vintage bedsheets, and forgotten textiles carry traces of another life. Their faded colours, marks, and imperfections are not erased, but woven into something new.

The collection brings together the worlds that have shaped me: my home country, Austria, with its Viennese castles, tapestries, and rich history. My years living in Shanghai and Beijing, where I was immersed in the richness of Asian fashion and culture. And now Australia, where I have found myself surrounded by a different landscape, light, and way of living. Each place has left its own imprint on me, becoming part of the way I see, create, and understand beauty.

These influences come together through an unexpected mix of references, textures, and histories - a contrast that feels both unexpected and instinctively natural to me.

Each garment is intentionally imperfect. A faded colour, an irregular texture, a flaw, or a trace of what came before is not something to hide, but something to honour.

Inner Bloom is a celebration of women in all the stages of becoming. Of the work no one sees before the bloom. Of embracing our history, our imperfections, and the things that make us entirely our own.

Because before anything blooms on the outside, it must first grow within.
