CORRELLCORRELL

Name: Daphne and Vera Correll

Hometown: Göppingen Germany

First memory: We are identical twins; we used to play together now we work together. It seemed to be a natural progression. We never thought about it too much. It made sense to join forces.

DNA: Slowing down. Balancing opposites. Chaos and order.

Describe the highlights of your garments production: Each garment we design is either completely done by us or will go through our hands many times in the production process, for example to be hand dyed, embroidered or knit, it is a very labour-intensive process, sometimes the repetitive hand work becomes meditative. It is satisfying to be this involved, it feel like you are directly communicating with the person who will end up wearing your piece.

Knits are…always beautiful.
Knits always…tell a story.
Knits will…keep you warm.
