Wanderland is an avant-garde women's knitwear collection that transforms the art of fully fashioned knitwear design into a sculptural exploration of fantasy and the unknown. It is a bold manifestation of my creative journey, born out of a deep curiosity about unseen entities and the body’s hidden, intuitive organic forms. In this collection, traditional knitwear is reimagined as a dynamic expression of wandering, otherworldly creatures, each piece echoing the mysterious allure of a realm that exists beyond the ordinary.

Drawing inspiration from both the natural world and the intricate inner landscapes of the imagination, each garment is meticulously hand-crafted using diverse knitting machine techniques. These innovative methods allow for intricate detailing and experimental forms, providing a platform where technical precision meets artistic experimentation. The process itself is both deliberate and spontaneous. A carefully curated palette of materials—including natural wool, silk, soft mohair, and shimmering metallic yarns, and creative application of colors—enhances the collection’s visual and tactile appeal. More than just garments, the pieces of Wanderland serve as wearable sculptures that transform the body into a canvas of self-expression. They invite wearers and observers alike to embark on a surreal, tactile journey into a personal wonderland.
