This concept is about hints/ indications we get offered in life. What is their origin and how do we individually analyze them? The first inspiration was the intense and deep red which Maria perceived intensely in China. On one side this specific red shows its extremely signaling and strong character, but on the other, its vulnerability and fragility (lit. human- blood). This contrasting character is closely connected to the own personality; both sides can be affected strongly and also influence each other. The red thread becomes an important parameter popping up in our lives as an again and again appearing element- a hint. Indications are releasing an insight of our personal life and especially of the own emotional condition and intimacy- it is releasing a peak of the truth but never telling the whole.
Starting from basic shape constructions, enabled to transform and play with relevant contrasts as in material and color. In this wearable and artistic collection, the combination of textile and fashion embodies the emotion, the attitude and the behavior of a human. Structure, color and material become fabrics, brought into action and movement through the body.
The wearer of the handcrafted textiles is playing with the own sensuality and indicates by materiality, form, posture and attitude. All parameters of the fabrics express a hint of the essence of each of the 7 personalities.

The artistic jewelry collection by Iris Desiree Claessens gives an added value to every individual garment and look of La Fille Discrète, perceived as one total atmosphere. Close- ups show the relationship between the sensitive jewelry and the textiles and structures; both activated and touched by skin and body. The elegant, refined style of accessories is very well suiting to the image of the 7 characters created. Iris manages adding a feminine and sophisticated touch to the own.
