Kristin Hensel at Berlin Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2009
The spring/summer collection 2009 of the Young Fashion Designer Kristin Hensel is about the square respectively the cube as a second basic form.
Geometrical forms according to the Bauhaus teaching are characteristic for the design of Kristin Hensel. The SS06 and SS07 collection were inspired by the circle which is linked to the square. The designer‘s intention to create shapes and forms is characterized by the metaphor for raw matter that is sculpted like stone to the nucleus.
Kristin Hensel born 1979 in Leipzig studied fashion at the University of Art & Design Burg Giebichenstein Halle/Saale Germany. During her studies she took on an internship at Vienna based designer Eva Blut and Wendy&Jim.
