Sisse Bjerre has a bachelor’s degree and master’s in fine art and Fashion Design from the Swedish School of Textiles.
‘With and education in fashion design, I translate and interpret wearing in papier mâché and other paper material. Aesthetically I am fascinated with the look of work-in-progress and referencing the traditional uses of paper material… The diverse properties of paper inspire me to explore unusual silhouettes and textures that creates a tension between the aesthetics of work-in-progress and result. …I aim to challenge traditional garment conventions in both fashion design and contemporary art, as well as the general expectations of what a garment can be.’
Materials: Paper sheets, starch, paper yarn, metal eyelets and staples.
