3TH year MBO Internship
“Repairing, is for us nothing less than an environmentally and user-friendly way of designing – a means of creating change in a world in need of repair.” A quote from the website of the atelier Bis es mir vom Leibe fällt. This Berlin-based atelier is where I completed my internship during the final year of my international fashion course. At this transformation atelier, we focused on giving garments a new life through repair, redesign, and creative reinvention. Instead of seeing damaged or forgotten clothing as waste, we treated every piece as an opportunity for change.
Personal Project
During my internship, I had the opportunity to work in the small atelier, repairing returned garments as well as upcycling donated pieces. I was also given the freedom to create new items for the atelier shop using leftover materials, some of which are shown in the photos here.
