Carmen Luijt
“I want people to see each other”
Carmen’s inspiration comes from the variety of stories we tell by the way we dress. What is the meaning and feeling behind our choices?
She believes that we do not truly see each other, while we form our opinions at the same time, we find it difficult to accept and grow. In her work she aims to combine different styles and cultures. How far can one go?
Carmen’s work is colorful, with many prints and different materials. The shape of her garments is commercial but also expressive. Storytelling plays an important part in the design process. She is inspired by stories from society and incorporates them into her designs.
