The program includes exhibitions, performances, talks and fashion film screenings and awards, and showcases projects that explore, contextualise and celebrate contemporary fashion culture. ✨ BLANKET✨ Blanket, the feeling of not knowing where to belong The issue of not knowing where one’s home is, not knowing where one belongs, and not knowing their identity. My final graduation collection focuses on the question “Where do I belong”? Growing up in two homes in between two opposite cultures that somehow melted well, left me longing for a home that does not even exist. By answering the question given, I recognized my cultural background which resulted in two opposite worlds; the Dutch and Indonesian culture which are intertwined in my family blood. Defining both cultures made me study the sense of belonging and the definition of home. Model: Anna Vet. Photographer: Claudia Moraru. Jewelry maker: Desert Spirit Ceramic.
