Collection
Inspiration
When he first moved to Berlin, Siddhartha Anselm Meyer found an old sewing machine on the road. The city and people inspired him so much that he started creating his own designs with the machine. To Siddhartha, society is an endless pool of inspiration and he is inspired by the way people are, how they act and react. A powerful influence for his “old couture” collection were second-hand fabrics. One third of the collection is generated from these second-hand material, another one of entangled wool and the last third is made of newly purchased pure wool. The accessories are made of leather, cotton, PVC and faux-leather.
