COLLECTIONS
Heiratsgut
The collection is inspired by the everyday life of a young, married farm woman and the physical and symbolic tensions within her daily routines. A key reference is the act of making the bed: the tension and form of a fitted sheet pulled over a mattress inform volume, structure, and a bold back cut-out.
Soft, rounded shapes define the silhouettes, with volume concentrated in the upper body. Shoulders and knees remain covered. A recurring design element is the head covering, derived from the traditional headscarf worn for practical purposes and as a sign of marital status. Throughout the collection, it is reinterpreted as collars, hoods, or classic linen caps.
Indigo printing plays a central role in shaping the visual language, guiding material and color choices. Natural fibers such as cotton and linen are used to reinterpret traditional dowry objects in a contemporary context. The collection reflects on what is preserved from tradition and how it can be transformed.

Résilience Naturelle
Resilience Naturelle is a collection inspired by the survival strategies of animals and the ways nature adapts to its environment. Concepts such as mimicry, mimesis, camouflage, and warning colors shape the visual language of the work.
Thermoplastic shaping is used to create soft, bubble-like surfaces that reference natural skins and protective layers. These elements are combined with scale-inspired textures and materials. Muted camouflage tones contrast with bright, striking colors, highlighting the tension between hiding and signaling. The designs move between softness and protection, calm and intensity.
The collection understands resilience as adaptation rather than force, and as a balance between vulnerability and strength.

The collection „Silence = Death“ is rooted in the AIDS epidemic of the 80s and 90s and the profound silence that surrounded it. It reflects a time marked not only by loss and fear, but by deliberate societal neglect — voices ignored, bodies politicized, and grief pushed into the shadows. Rather than retelling history literally, the collection translates this silence into material, texture, and form. Velvet becomes a symbol of intimacy and vulnerability, absorbing light the way stories were absorbed and hidden. Pinstripes reference authority, institutions, and rigid systems — a quiet nod to power structures that chose restraint over compassion. Lacquered surfaces introduce tension: shiny, almost seductive, yet cold and resistant, mirroring the distance between public image and private suffering. Central to the collection are the pearl embroideries. Each bead is placed by hand, echoing care, remembrance, and time. Pearls traditionally signify purity and elegance, but here they are recontextualized as acts of devotion and resistance — small, luminous markers against erasure. Stitch by stitch, they insist on visibility. This collection does not aim to shout. It speaks softly, deliberately, and with weight. It invites the viewer to look closer, to feel the textures, and to confront the spaces where silence once lived — and where memory must remain. Instagram: lukas__fls Email:...

„il Corpo, la Linea, il Caos“
The idea-
my collection represents the contrast between perfection and chaos. It´s inspired by the rigid structures of the renaissance, both in fashion and in society. The liberation from physical and mental constraints is intended to become visible. What do you discover behind the glamour and opulence? How do you escape mental confinement?
Working process-
It´s all about line work, form and dimension. My main element are complex patterns and wide silhouettes.
In comparison to the clear structure I decided to work with a lot of volants in my collection, because I love the playfulness that constructs the chaos.
Material and colour concept-
I use mostly simple materials like cotton and wool in muted colours, to put the focus on details in pattern and seams. And to further represent the idea of release from status symbols.

arrival in nara
This collection explores the fast-paced nature of today’s world. In a time where fashion is constantly accelerating and clothing often exists only for a brief moment, the collection sets a conscious counterpoint. It contrasts speed, overconsumption, and overproduction with the permanence of nature.
Nature follows a different rhythm. It slows down, breathes, and repeats itself without haste. The collection draws on the characteristics of both worlds and places them in direct opposition.
Focus on the real world.

Women in Iran – Between Repression and Resistance” reflects the living reality of Iranian women under systemic oppression. The collection addresses control, violence, and restriction — and the courage to resist. The designs deliberately work with covering, wrapping, and oversized silhouettes, symbolizing protection, constraint, and societal rules. At the same time, some pieces are intentionally body-emphasizing, creating a contrast that conveys presence, confidence, and resistance. Visibility becomes a political statement: the female body is not hidden, but claimed. The collection aims to give a voice to women in Iran...

Lola Katharina Berghofers' Holy Ordering
My very first collection "Holy Ordering" wishes to convey the beauty of Roman Catholic Symobilsim and Clothing and how it has impacted high fashion with it's strong hierarchy and opulence. I don't consider myself a christian haven't practiced catholicism since I was a child, but I've always felt drawn to the power dynamics and aesthetics, the stories and how I connect it to my childhood. This collection translates the church's spectacle with carefully detailed, modern clothing.
All the prints are hand painted, like original catholic garments. Different ornaments, symbols and colors are merely inspired by its original counterparts, to preserve their meaning and respect their origins.
