Philipp Schueller

Having always been fascinated by the systemic development of the "new" in fashion, Schueller wants to move away from the idea that the garment must work on the body. Instead, he takes an approach similar to that of biologists, viewing fashion as a "dying species" and exploring garments as materials. He wants to speculate on future "fashion species" and is intrigued by the idea of analyzing fashion as "skin" in an evolutionary sense, comparing it to life forms that shed or change their skin in order to survive.
