Beyond Perfection – Hochschule Reutlingen

Beyond Perfection stands for authenticity, individuality, and the courage to embrace imperfection as a strength. The collection serves as a reminder that flaws are part of our personal growth which make us human. It questions the ideal of flawlessness and emphasizes that perfection can never truly be attained. Instead, it encourages greater self-awareness and confidence in one ‘s own abilities, conveying the message that it is okay not to be perfect. Irregular structures and deliberate disruptions form the core of the collection. These elements are reflected both in the choice of materials and in various textile manipulations. Frayed edges visibly underline the concept and have a significant impact on the overall design language.

My name is Lea, and I am currently pursuing a Master‘s degree in Fashion Design at Reutlingen University. In my work, I combine high-quality craftsmanship with conceptual depth to create unique, often experimental and expressive designs. My creative approach is shaped by courage, individuality, and inner strength, drawing inspiration from cultural experiences as well as musical influences. My goal ist o develop pieces that not only stand out aesthetically but also convey a strong message and provide space for self-expression and identity.
