STEF KAYSER

As part of the Namilia team, I played a key role in conceptualizing and producing looks for multiple runway shows like AW23 - Cruising Utopia: The Then and There of Queer Futurity in February 2023, SS24 - In Loving Memory of my Sugardaddy in July 2023 and AW24 - Pfoten Weg in February 2024.

I felt honored to sew the final look of the famous In Loving Memory of my Sugardaddy show and other outstanding pieces. It was fun to challenge my skills, especially working with latex, big volumes, and rhinestone-embodied materials allowed me to show my precision. Working on such big collections with a small team and within short time frames taught me how to structure work steps efficiently. 

I attended to urgent management tasks before and during the show, f.e., the seating plan or the organization and setup of the backstage area. The backstage work for the shows taught me how to manage backstage tasks and how important good teamwork is, where the practice of quick adaptations and creative solutions leads to well-organized and effortless shows that everyone can enjoy.
