Maryam Kordbacheh: " The Sexuality of Flowers "

The young Dutch designer Maryam Kordbacheh, a graduate Master from Fashion Institute, Arnhem, was also selected along with Lea Peckre and eight others to participate at the 2011 Festival of Hyeres.

Maryam Kordbacheh's collection is inspired by the organic formation of nature which evokes irrevocably sensual shapes. The craftsmanship plays an important role. The handcrafted garments, originally molded from a single length of fabric, appear extremely refined and delicate. The colors are handmade with organic pigments or natural dyes like tea, coffee and herbs.

"The allure of a design resides in its purity. I mold and discover my own patterns. Experimentation, problem solving and searching for a personal way to realize my designs are most important to me. My collection, rather than being clothes, is a kind of intimate sculptures".
