Brand: Jolka Wiens
Graduate School: Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam

Jolka Wiens's graduate collection is inspired by facial expression. You would not normally thinks directly from the collection pieces as the facial expression, she gone through many process and came to this point. Basically she used the 3D scanner and minimize the lines onto the 2D graphics. The most clever thing is using neoprene to control the bounciness of the fabrication, its just a reflection of the human facial expression. She also nominated for the Muuse x Vogue Talents Young Vision Award this year.
