intuism.crafts — Rethinking Value brings together fashion, agriculture and textile craft, tracing clothing back to the landscapes and materials from which it begins. Rooted in flax cultivation in Tyrol on an alpine farm, the collection explores linen, wool and plant-based processes through running, workwear and everyday garments. Natural fibres, biodegradable coatings, flax stems, onion-skin dyes and plastic-free details become part of an ongoing, careful investigation into function and material origin. Rather than pursuing performance through speed and optimization, the project proposes another kind of value: clothing that creates awareness, encourages connection and keeps the body, material and natural world in dialogue.
