Phoebe Jaspe is a film and media production student at Sheffield Hallam University who lives in Abu Dhabi. She designs clothes for her online clothing shop Drom apparel. She relates her story…
‘Drøm means ‘dream’ in Norwegian. We are a clothing line with psychedelic creatives and all my artwork circulates around dream-like themes, nostalgia, some hints of sacred geometry and surrealism. containing dreamlike imagery.
‘Showing my art through fashion has always been an inspiration and I finally got it set up. I’ve always been into art, photography, film and English literature. It’s like that popular quote: “I like to ride the roller coaster of life, spin the roulette wheel of fortune, to terminal possibility”.
‘The goal of the clothing line is to spread the idea of glorifying yourself with your own ideals. People should be transferring their dreams into reality. I want to create clothing for dreamers, visionaries and artists. I don’t see many t-shirts I would wear but I like to create fashion that I’d wear myself. In the future hopefully dipped hem dresses as well.
‘I want to live my dream and tell others to take risks and accept consequences of setting up their own business. I say just go ahead and do it; people should stop procrastinating with false worries and fears – guys don’t waste precious time!’
