GD means cycle.
The end and the beginning. New and old.
Courage. Creativity. Openness. Mindfulness.
Willingness to experiment. The discovery of slowness.
Sustainability. Transience and rebirth.
Love. Nature.
Movement. Freedom.
I founded Genowefadesigns in 2022 during my Master's studies. Since 2023, I have had my own studio in Lindau on Lake Constance, where I have been developing upcycling products and planning creative projects from the very beginning.
During my studies, I became aware of the extent of our throwaway mentality and the need for more sustainability in fashion. Especially the wasteful mindset and the lack of awareness about the resulting impacts on our environment, supported my decision to position myself in a niche market and swim against the tide of mass production. My products are meant to tell a story, express individuality, and encourage a shift in perspective, fostering more conscious consumption. Through my work, I aim to create transparency, closeness, and communication on both a visual and intellectual level with people.
"Creative, Green & Mindful"
GD combines handcrafted upcycling one-of-a-kind pieces with high-quality vintage fashion. Additionally, I work on creating recycling art & design and developing lifestyle products and DIYs. In this context, I want to involve you in my creative process, showcase alternative consumption options, and promote more sustainable consumption with my work.
What's UP?
Currently, I mainly work with cashmere and create patchwork one-of-a-kind pieces from it. In addition, I am developing a new concept for 2025 and have started building another foundation for myself as a yoga teacher.
What's next?
Yoga and mindfulness practice are, for me, the best balance in daily life as an entrepreneur and mother. I am firmly convinced that mindfulness, nutrition, movement, yoga, and meditation are the keys to a functioning and happy life. Therefore, alongside my creative work, I now dedicate 50% of my working time to training as a yoga teacher and Ayurvedic nutrition consultant. I plan to successfully complete this training in 2025. In addition, there will finally be workshops, and you will hear more from me. Yes, my podcast will also finally go online in 2025! Furthermore, I will develop a new concept for mothers. But you will find out about that when the time comes. :-)
