What would she do without fashion?
Naomi by Naomi:"Inspired by my father’s way of respect and love for all things around him. I grew up in a world where nothing was thrown away. My father taught me that every item has value, no matter how old or broken up. Everythinghas a soul, an identity. Behind every object there is a story. I tell the story further.My inspiration comes from people and their stories, objects & curiosities, from artists, the street. What i see, feel, find, hear, taste, live. I consider the inspiration & the process of designing as important as the finished products. I work like a sculptor and build every garment piece by piece. I sew emotions. I cut and stitch and glue, until i feelthat my story is ready to be told.This is the moment when my team starts producing the similars. Same cut, same look andyet every piece always just a little different from the other because of its uniquere-cycled material. The result is an individual, re-designed collection, blending artand fashion and story telling.I put my heart, my memories & my dreamsin every piece i create. My work is genuine. Collections designed and produced withrespect for the people, for the environment, and for all that is important to me in this world."
