AMD Student Project
Committed to championing the young designers of the future, Liberty continues to support emerging creatives in our decade-long partnership with Munich’s Akademie Mode & Design (AMD).
Creative fabric projects are also an important part of Liberty’s sustainability mission to help reduce the environmental impact of textile production. From responsible supply chain management to the introduction of innovative bases made with recycled and renewable fibres, Liberty Fabrics is dedicated to making continuous progress in textile sustainability. For this project, at Liberty we donated surplus fabrics which were used by the AMD students in their collections.
In the final semester, Liberty designers judged the second semester exhibition showcasing the students’ projects, where they select three winners. One of the winning designs will be proudly displayed at the Liberty Fabrics stand at Munich Fabric Start between 3rd - 4th September 2024.
CELINA VILLALTA AZOZ, Beauty of Disharmony
“From one extreme to the other, just to find peace? Maybe rather from one extreme to the other to get back to the middle. When a person feels forced to keep their surroundings in harmony, the smallest disturbance can lead to inner chaos.”
SOUFIEH OWSSIA, A Journey Through Depression
“This collection delves into the complex emotions and experiences surrounding depression, providing a visual narrative that resonates with those who have experienced it and educates those who might not fully understand it. Through thoughtful design, fabric choices, and colour palettes, the collection aims to evoke empathy and understanding.”
HANNAH BEEKER CABALLERO, Shapes of Desire
“Both dresses focus on shape and silhouette, representing the unattainable expectations of perfectionism but also the tendency to retreat into different shapes of oneself desired by others, striving to create a perfect persona. These dresses not only represent perfectionism but by making them I once again lived through the process with all the pain and doubts making it an endless cycle of striving for an unattainable ideal.”
