Re:NEW Nature
Biodesign with living print
The “Re: New Nature” collection redefine fashion through BioDesign, inspired by architecture and the “Re:construction” of nature processes. By integrating living algae, the garments evolve over time, forming a living textile print. A closed water system sustains the organism, ensuring its survival and growth. This approach “Re:produces” natural cycles, “Re:establishes” the “Re:connection” between humans and the “living world”, and envisions a future where biotechnology, design , and sustainability merge to create a symbiotic relationship between nature and fashion.

Paula Rischbeck
I am a Berlin-based aspiring designer with a deep passion for textiles and innovation. During my fashion design studies, I discovered the endless possibilities of textile creation, experimenting with fish skin and algae to develop unique materials. Specializing in textile prints, I’ve crafted my own design language to push boundaries in print design. My work focuses on BioDesign, exploring sustainable and innovative concepts that shape the future of fashion. Having recently completed my studies, I am eager to inspire change through forward-thinking design.
