Fanny Freundner - Winner from the 6th Semester
would you love me again?
Since working in home-office every day, mostly isolated and focusing on comfort rather than on style, I binge wore all my hoodies until they started annoying me. They all looked the same: boring, slightly shabby and not suited my home-office hairstyles when wearing hoods (I mostly wore buns or ponytails).
The fine ribbed cuffs that are typical for hoodies inspired me to use knitting techniques to create a hoodie which favours wearing a long hairstyle. I aimed to create a desirable but also comfortable piece and I enjoyed the Idea of the wearers looking down their bodies, especially on the sleeves and see something exiting (While working on my computer I noticed that my attention always tend to shift on my sleeve cuffs).
The used materials were all vintage (hoodie, knitting yarns). I asked my friends and family for wool they no longer used and they collected yarns for me, I would have never chosen. However this huge range of colours enabled sheer endless combinations and patterns. For me awaking something forgotten with new energy is a really beautiful process.
