After visiting Villa Noailles I started thinking that the time we’re living in now feels like ‘the boring ages,’ compared to Marie-Laure de Noaille’s lifestyle. How do we protect ourselves for losing our creative engines? And how do we think about creativity alongside sustainable practices? I want to challenge myself and exchange it with others. – Liselore Frowijn

The designs dedicated to the par­adisiac island of Tobago evoked reverence in the au­dience and can be seen as a manifestation of the is­land’s slogan “Pulchrior Evenit,” which translated from Latin means, “She becomes more beautiful. – from Liselore Frowijn
