I never meant to become a designer. The fashion industry never appealed to me; it\u2019s the whole trend of commodifying the human experience and overproducing. That didn\u2019t seem like something I would base my life around.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My university degree is in Business Administration, which was mostly pushed by my parents. Neither of them went to college but both have kickstarted their careers from the ground up. That motivated me because if they could achieve that, imagine what I could do with a degree.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For most of my childhood, we were struggling financially but I\u2019d always see my dad studying the industry and looking for new ways to grow his business. That always inspired me. Business isn\u2019t evil in itself, it\u2019s always about your intentions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During my last semester at Parsons, a design course was available and I wanted to use as much of my university\u2019s resources as I could, so I took it. It was then that I met Marie Dormuth, a professor who I consider my life coach; she awakened a newfound passion in me. I found myself in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">silkscreening [an image transfer on fabric through light exposure].<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0From then on, I began designing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\">S: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of your clothes are upcycled. This is something common amongst upcoming designers. What importance does upcycling play in your approach to fashion?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>L:<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sustainability aside, I love the idea of reusing something existing for a newfound value. It is a means of not only sustaining the self but also being resourceful of material and time. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Growing up, I had no choice but to thrift all of my clothes. Now, thrifting and upcycling are used as \u2018buzz\u2019\u2019 words in the fashion industry; they draw people in and make for bigger sales.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many low-income families like mine, this was just a way to manoeuvre through life. So, for me, upcycling is something inherent; something I do with the thought of families like mine, not with the intention to fit into the mainstream trend and sell more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\">S: What was it that prompted you to sell at all? Was it that desire to spread your message through words packaged in beautiful garments?<\/p>\n<p>L:<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Initially, I wasn\u2019t planning on selling at all. Some pieces were so special to me that I wanted to keep them private for myself. But emotions are meant to be shared and by using typography on my garments, I\u2019m able to literally wear my heart on my sleeve. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I see a lot of evil in the world, so I choose to use my heart as a weapon for this ongoing war between the human body, mind and soul. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the modern world, we\u2019re made to feel like a commodity, not human beings. I fight using my vulnerability; ornamenting my clothes with these sort of diary entry quotes because I want to remind people to protect their souls and to remember; always be a human being first.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"blockquote","text":"\u201cGood afternoon, corporate America.

In a world of overproduction and capitalist-driven algorithms, it seems, the only way you can communicate your emotions is by materialising and selling them. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the industry is so tightly controlled by big companies, how do you, as an independent designer go about promoting yourself? And how important is self-promotion for you?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>L: <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My focus is always on the actual design and the production process since that\u2019s the part I most love doing. I\u2019ve come to realise that most online brands prioritise marketing and appealing to buyers over time spent on the production and improvement of their clothes. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This game of social media is a facade; designers like me will never have control of the algorithm; these apps have a way of keeping people running for their money. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why I prefer to sell through my own website; that way, I have a direct connection to the people who choose to purchase my work; it\u2019s more organic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"interview-question\">S:<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Some of your garments are now stocked at <a href=\"https:\/\/ap0cene.com\/\">Ap0cene<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retail-pharmacy.com\/shop\">Retail Pharmacy<\/a>. How did that happen and what effect has it had on BodyCitated?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>L:<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I met the owner of Retail Pharmacy, Sophia, the first time I sold at a flea market. I knew nothing about them or the space, I was very new to the whole process. I saw their flier for a pop-up and reached out in hopes of selling some of my pieces. At the very last minute, Sophia gave me the chance to stock my pieces and to my surprise, almost all of them were sold. It was a real milestone for me; I saw that what I had been creating in isolation was worthy of being seen amongst other amazing creatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then, Ap0cene reached out to me. I\u2019d been following them for a while and during my last university semester, I even wrote a paper on how selling with Ap0cene is a future goal of mine. So of course I took the opportunity. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What I love most about selling on these platforms is that it has allowed me to build a small community around BodyCitated and enter a sector of the industry that gives me hope for the future; where the value lies in connecting with like-minded people and sharing visions, not on selling to the unknown masses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":104160,"id":104160,"title":"","filename":"look-2-scaled.jpg","filesize":234466,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/look-2-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/look-2-2\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"look-2-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2022-10-12 11:14:42","modified":"2022-10-12 11:58:40","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1536,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/look-2-scaled.jpg","thumbnail-width":77,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/look-2-scaled.jpg","medium-width":1536,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/look-2-scaled.jpg","medium_large-width":1536,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/look-2-scaled.jpg","large-width":1536,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/look-2-1229x1536.jpg","1536x1536-width":1229,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/look-2-1638x2048.jpg","2048x2048-width":1638,"2048x2048-height":2048,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/look-2-scaled.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":10,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/look-2-1638x2048.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1638,"wpvr_mobile-height":2048}},{"ID":104159,"id":104159,"title":"","filename":"Look-1-scaled.jpg","filesize":289609,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Look-1-scaled.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/look-1-3\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"look-1-3","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2022-10-12 11:14:20","modified":"2022-10-12 11:58:37","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1536,"height":1920,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Look-1-scaled.jpg","thumbnail-width":77,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Look-1-scaled.jpg","medium-width":1536,"medium-height":1920,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Look-1-scaled.jpg","medium_large-width":1536,"medium_large-height":1920,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Look-1-scaled.jpg","large-width":1536,"large-height":1920,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Look-1-1229x1536.jpg","1536x1536-width":1229,"1536x1536-height":1536,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Look-1-1638x2048.jpg","2048x2048-width":1638,"2048x2048-height":2048,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Look-1-scaled.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":10,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Look-1-1638x2048.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1638,"wpvr_mobile-height":2048}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":"Images Courtesy of BodyCitated.

City life has led me to become a product of capitalism; I\u2019m getting used to being treated more as a machine than a human being. The space in which I create plays an essential role in the outcomes of my designs and in the city, there is no isolation. Having a house in the countryside with a white picket fence, and living off the grid; that\u2019s what I need to create from a place of true emotion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope to grow BodyCitated beyond clothing. It always goes back to the community; I want to be able to see people connect with each other through my clothes, and find each other, in a world that works to make you lose and forget yourself. Connected to the people, disconnected from the machines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n"}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BodyCitated: Wear Your Heart On Your Sleeve - Sleek Magazine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/bodycitated-wear-your-heart-on-your-sleeve\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"BodyCitated: Wear Your Heart On Your Sleeve - Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/bodycitated-wear-your-heart-on-your-sleeve\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-10-31T08:00:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2022-10-12T12:12:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
