sp19. a collection inspired by grocery stores and crowded markets and the frenzy of activity within them.
the initial concept was a daily routine, in which I reflected on my recurring activities throughout the week. one of these tasks was always going to the markets with my grandmother when I was younger.
people shuffling through, haggling on prices, picking the freshest produce, advertising the latest sales. crisp cucumbers, rotting apples, dried sausages. these are the pungent smells and clamorous sounds that come rushing back.
the pristine and always-filled shelves of American supermarkets have a dystopian feeling about them. they're stationary as opposed to the shoppers moving through the aisles.
