If I love a garment I wear it until it falls apart. Some of my clothes are
20 years old. I have started wearing heels this year and I love it. I wish I
had discovered them years ago. My favourite label is Marni.

Swensk, in collaboration with RMIT present – Slow Fashion: Concepts of Sustainability, an investigation of the process of customising a four piece collection for four Swensk customers by deconstructing high quality garments by Swedish designers Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, Filippa K, J.Lindeberg and Whyred. Each collection has been designed and delivered by 3rd year RMIT fashion students as part of the RMIT studio: Concept of Sustainability – A Piece of Cloth.  This is a film of the student’s journey through the concept of sustainability in fashion, the research process.

Designers has a fine line to walk in regards to whom they design. Do they design for themself or for the customer or both. I guess the answer is easy for or brands but it is not so easy if you view it from the buyers perspective. I am so bold to say that as soon the piece hits the store its no longer about the designer. It’s only about the consumer. The Personality Collection theory is based on the following Slow fashion values; reuse, redesign, limited editions, quality fabrics, customizing, craftsmanship, limited editions and target group understanding.

Favourite fashion designer: I go through phases. At the moment, it’s probably Marc Jacobs. This decision is usually based on colour. I like his use of colour in menswear. It’s really quite fun. I think “fun” is also a key concept for me.
