Collaboration with Alma Wallner - Which
Mouna Barhdadi
Collaborating with Alma Wallner on her launch collection was a deeply inspiring and meaningful process. Alma’s collection explores how women are perceived by the outside world and the implicit messages conveyed through their clothing, often without them being aware of it. She transforms negative idioms into powerful statements.
For this collection, a headdress was created—an accessory intended to not only complement her designs, but also embody the spirit of her collection.
The process of creating the “Vestal Headdress” was a blend of craftsmanship and artistic vision. Alma Wallner brought her embroidery expertise to the project, using delicate techniques to weave meaningful patterns into the fabric. At the same time, silver was used to craft the base of the headdress.
To add depth and symbolism, aquamarine and tourmaline stones were carefully selected and incorporated into the design.
The design also featured two “nautical knots,” known as the “Southern Cross.” These knots, rooted in maritime tradition, symbolize guidance and strength, aligning perfectly with the collection’s message of resilience. The combination of these elements—embroidery, silver, gemstones, and symbolic knots—results in a headdress that is both visual and meaningful.
