After working as a freelance stylist in Munich and Berlin she has just recently moved to Paris and started working for Maison Martin Margiela. Her collection Métis is an interplay between many different materials, colours and structures, which complement and interfuse each other and so result in a new conclusion. The basic idea of her work was a module system, which she used to create her very own fabrics. These fabrics consist of little, cut out pieces of leather and fur that gear into each other and interlock.

From this technique she developed three mosaic-kind seamless pieces of clothing, accompanied by jeans, silk and wool they become complete silhouettes. 8. Marta Gos – Fluid.i.ty
