Juliane Rumpf combines the interplay of creative cutting and an innovative approach to material manipulation to create her own signature design aesthetic. Her ability to absorb influences from her surroundings with an open mind enables her to develop innovative pieces filled with culture.

Her graduate collection captures the positive cultural aspects of migration. During the most recent refugee crisis during which millions of war refugees from Syria and other war torn countries have reached Europe in the past year, this seems to have been entirely neglected.

Juliane’s aim was to approach the topic in an abstract and conceptual way by conveying a positive feeling and delivering a different perspective on recent events. Each country is in constant flux and change, it is connected to other countries through trade etc. and can never be seen as an isolated place.
