De Riedmatten showed her graduation collection ‘Homofungatic’, which explores various facets of the human condition. The collection features voluminous shapes, elongated strips of fabric and balls.
The colour palette of the collection consists mainly of earth tones. Homofungatic celebrates the cycle of the human body, which is ‘a bold step towards a harmonious union with nature and a timeless celebration of life, decay and rebirth’, as per Amsterdam Fashion Academy.
