ABOUT ME
I’M ANNA HEIM, A FASHION DESINGER CURRENTLY BASED IN PARIS.
I am currentrly working on my final master collection right now, that will be shown end of feburary at Paris fashion week.
The Collection‚ intimate exposure’ started from the personal feeling of being in a safe space at home and dressing sensual and beautiful only for oneself, away from the gaze of others.
This intricate feeling went into an exploration of self expression in a space with minimal judgment.
It is a poetic love letter to the female body, communicating a sense of acceptance of our fears and our desires. It is about redefining sensuality and presenting the female body from a female perspective, that doesn't not want to please the male gaze.
With a strong focus on lingerie elements merged with a big repertoire of different kinds of textures and textiles, this very personal feeling becomes alive. The lingerie elements get distorted and deconstructed, to resemble the beauty of it but getting rid of the discomfort of it. For me it comes most natural to convey my mood and feelings through textile creation. Everything I see, I translate into textures. I love it wired and unexpected. The textures, like liquid latex covers dresses or fluffy crochet stockings seam like second skins and weirdly hairy objects, that draw you closer and lure you in to feel them.
