MAGICALLY CURSED MAGICIANS a collection by franziska leitner
Magically cursed magicians is my graduate collection which was mainly inspired by Harry Potter, a book series that has captured me a long time ago. The evil that is ubiquitous in all those creatures such as death eaters, dementors or Voldemort himself is very fascinating to me. But however the evil is never going to win, as long as there is love, because as Dumbledore said “If there’s one thing that Voldemort cannot understand, it is love”, and to me that’s one of the main messages of Harry Potter. In my collection I tried to create 5 looks that seem to be magical, inspired by death eaters, Hogwarts students and all those very elegant and funny dressed witches and wizards I mainly used wool fabric as it is a very classic and elegant material which I connect with Harry Potter. As to me Harry Potter transfers a kind of depressing and cheerless mood especially in the later books, I decided on using monochrome greyish colours in combination with green the colour of one of Hogwarts houses which is said to send forth most of the evil wizards out there. Long wide cloaks, which disguise and hide the person wearing it and create a sense of elegance. The usage of pvc, to create invisibility in some way. Pleats which remind on school uniforms, and yet are quite magical features. Knit, which diffuses warmness and well-being.
