“For decades, the fashion world has had the reputation of being a colorful fair of vanities. Stand out at all costs, just don't miss out on the Wahrhol's 15 Minutes of Fame . Of course, anyone who creates fashion also has to ensure the necessary attention and sometimes fight. But I don't think we should take this media machine too seriously. Instead of dazzling reality stars, I much prefer to deal with creative makers and daring artists like Olafur Eliasson or Thomas Ruff .
I also like reading philosophical books . Because all of these works and thoughts influence me in my own work and always shape a small facet of my life. This calm counterpoint to the undoubtedly wonderful, breathless world of fashion is extremely important to me. And, I am quite sure, this conscious balance of lightness and depth enriches Allude’s collections.”
