Turning a grandmother’s hoarded home into a map of identity.
⠀
For her graduation project, Eva Louwers – Fashion & Design graduate – explored the space between her Dutch and Portuguese roots through the lens of memory, overconsumption, and material storytelling. Using knitwear, embroidery, laser-cut textiles, and 3D techniques, she transformed her grandmother’s hoarded belongings into a deeply personal and cultural collection.
