The women's wear collection’s essence lies in researching the handover of Latvian ancestral knowledge through textiles and craftsmanship and deep diving into Latvian folk symbols, their meaning and practical uses. I aim to convey the role of textiles as being much more than merely a material. I see cloth as a way to express one's beliefs and identity, as a means of communication. The studies of textile and fashion design at Aalto University broadened my understanding of the unique role of fabrics in connecting people within their culture and other cultures globally.
