Sukitxus are an interpretation of childhood nostalgia. 'Suki' means beloved in Japanese and 'txu' comes from my vasc background. 'Txu' is usually added at the end of a person's name to denote closeness, trust and appreciation. The Sukitxus are a continuation of the 'Tiny Me' collection. They are soft and colourful to connect the wearer with their inner child. Throughout the process of growing up life becomes more grey as the bright colours from our favourite toys and cartoons disappear from our memories. While making this project the craves for colour intensified and a new colour was added each time I started to needle felt again. These ‘creatures’ are designed to be loved and cared. They become your little friends when you wear them and support you through the rough adult days.
