ILJA VISSER





HYPERBOREA

 Hyperborea is a place described in Greek mythology. This is a place beyond the northern wind and stands for a mystical place. It is supposed to be inhabited by a culture, living in everlasting spring and pure daylight, the people were blessed and long-lived. With this collection Ilja tried to  show a strong woman packing up her strength, knowledge to find the mystical place of hyperborea. You see this story in the softness of the fabrics and the straightens and roughness of the designs. You can even discover the ice-scape in the shoes.


A different line is the Ready to Fish. Wearable for daily use but still astonishingly beautifully designed.
