Karen Jessen, a textile artist and designer, established her label in the year 2012 in Berlin. She is recognized as an early pioneer of upcycling, and her focus lies in the dedicated development of reused materials for artistic creations. Her inspiration derives from the beauty of artistic craftsmanship, harmonious forms, and compositions.

Karen's artistic endeavors center around preserving and reinterpreting forgotten treasures, driven by an unrelenting passion and dedication. She questions the prevailing structures of the fashion industry and offers a rebellious alternative, far removed from the dictations of seasons and the banality of fashion consumer products. Her creations represent clothing with intrinsic value and identity, extraordinary products with an unmistakable personal touch.

Her early childhood passion for craftsmanship, rooted in her family background, is a driving force behind her creative journey. Growing up in a family that valued and practiced traditional craftsmanship instilled in her a deep appreciation for handmade artistry.

Karen Jessen's approach to creation is a contrast, combining a very manual methodology with the creation of an illusion of digitally crafted artworks. She passionately collects, sorts, and combines used materials and creates through experimentation, engaging in an extensive process of material development in dialogue with the body. Her creative spectrum spans fashion, costume, sculpture, and decoration, all crafted with meticulous care. Her abstract works inhabit the space between sculpture and wearable art.
