Philipp Schueller shares a spiritual and astrological kinship with the sea. Like a biologist he approaches his research studying the quality of all living things.

His work draws parallels between fashion’s compulsive drive toward the new and a profound evolu- tionary urge. He compares humans shedding garments to other lifeforms that shed their skin or modify their appearance in order to survive. In so doing, he speculates about future “fashion species” and how clothing could shapeshift once it leaves the human body. His studio becomes a fluid space of confluence where different impulses are allowed to intermingle or float alongside one another
