Monika was born during the war of love between a German soldier and her mother. The heart of the top stands for love; Forbidden love.

The design

The zipper stands for the scar in this love. Because the contact had to be broken. On the outside of Hart, the names of her father and mother are carved as you put in a tree. Her father sang her in the past to sleep with the Lindenbaum of Schubert. Together with Monika, Mirte made a screen print of a Lindenboom leaf at 'Make'. Mirte made the bag of this. The skirt is made of existing thermo army clothing referring to her father. The sleeves of the vest embrace the hip like hands on the stomach, because Monika has had a hard time but was born out of love.
