The design

The freedom skirt is made from the remains of fabric from all other looks and refer to connecting differences and stories.

The tents on her arms give time that she was in a refugee camp with her family. Even though the outside world is dark and dark, if you feel the love of your family around you as a child, you can feel safe and loved in the most miserable circumstances in the most miserable today. Her bright yellow outfit shines as positivity. The small doll on the bag is an outfit for her inner-shild; A hug for the little girl in her.

The word behind the skirt is brave, which Mirte has made together with Dashni and stands for the power to survive.
