"Concentric Bodies" places the body as a shared centre. Inspired by the principle of concentric circles, multiple forms connected through a common centre, it is a call to move out of the head and into the body.

Through circular forms, curved folds, and shifting surfaces, the collection explores clothing as a space for sensation, movement, and discovery. By placing bodily experience at the centre, the work opens new perspectives on identity, femininity, and the ways we inhabit clothing.

Drawing connections between geometry and nature, the project investigates shape as something responsive and continually transforming. The garments unfold through movement and interaction, creating shifting relationships between body, material, and space.

Attention returns to the senses, reconnecting us with the body and opening space for curiosity. Through wearing, moving, and perceiving, the garments invite a more attentive encounter with clothing and the world around us.

"Emmas afgangskollektion er fantastisk innovativ og kombinerer unægtelig avanceret designmetodologi med fantastisk håndværk og et nyt tankevækkende udtryk. Materialeudviklingen fusionerer avanceret brug af komplekse plisseteknikker, der problemfrit kombineres med avanceret trykudvikling og materialemanipulation, og fremstår som et virkelig unikt værk."
