When did your love affair with fashion begin? How did it make you feel?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Paula Votteler:<\/strong> My mum taught me how to crochet and sew when I was 5, and I have loved to be creative and express myself with handmade clothes ever since. One of my earliest memories is of being in Paris with my parents and seeing a beautiful flower girl dress in a bridal shop. To this day, the memory of that dress fills me with pure joy, and it was likely at that moment that my deep love for fashion and the desire to create clothing began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-re-fascinated-by-your-unique-path-to-starting-the-paula-votteler-brand-and-your-choice-to-focus-on-embroidering-crocheting-and-weaving-in-your-creations-could-you-share-a-bit-about-this-journey-and-what-led-you-to-this-distinctive-approach\"><strong>We&#8217;re fascinated by your unique path to starting the Paula Votteler brand and your choice to focus on embroidering, crocheting, and weaving in your creations. Could you share a bit about this journey and what led you to this distinctive approach?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I learned to sew and crochet from my mother when I was a little child. Throughout my youth, I took sewing classes at the community college and have always expressed myself creatively. During the pandemic, I taught myself to weave and embroider, and I love combining the different techniques. Since last year I study fashion design at Kunsthochschule Berlin Weissensee and I can\u2019t wait to learn even more techniques like working with a knitting machine and so on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-use-many-unconventional-materials-in-your-designs-such-as-handbags-made-from-plastic-bottles-or-a-blouse-with-vegetable-netting-how-do-you-find-inspiration-in-these-materials-to-create-such-beautiful-pieces-nbsp\"><strong>You use many unconventional materials in your designs, such as handbags made from plastic bottles or a blouse with vegetable netting.

I don\u2019t regret that I earned a master&#8217;s degree in engineering because I learned so much about recycling and sustainability. In general, I just get the most inspired by things that are already there and that I want to include in my designs. I&#8217;m often asked where my ideas come from, but I can&#8217;t pinpoint the source. They simply appear in my mind, and I ponder them until every detail is clear. Once I have a complete vision, I begin the process of bringing them to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-was-the-most-important-lesson-you-learned-when-creating-your-label\"><strong>What was the most important lesson you learned when creating your label?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn that I can&#8217;t live without expressing myself creatively, and to believe everything will somehow work out as long as I don&#8217;t lose my joy, and only pursue projects that truly come from within me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bykoket.com\/guilty-pleasures\/casegoods\/spellbound-bar-cabinet.php?utm_source=LH_Blog_article&amp;utm_medium=banner_article&amp;utm_content=spellbound-bar-cabinet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"195\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/kk-spellbound-bar-cabinet-750.jpg\" alt=\"spellbound bar cabinet koket luxury home decor\" class=\"wp-image-80838\" style=\"width:500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/kk-spellbound-bar-cabinet-750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/kk-spellbound-bar-cabinet-750-300x78.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-we-admire-your-commitment-to-sustainability-could-you-share-what-sustainability-means-to-you-and-how-you-believe-it-can-be-better-applied-in-the-fashion-world\"><strong>We admire your commitment to sustainability. Could you share what &#8216;sustainability&#8217; means to you and how you believe it can be better applied in the fashion world?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sustainability is a very controversial topic, and no matter what you do, there will always be someone who finds fault with it. For me, my biggest goal at the moment is to buy as few new materials as possible. I make a conscious effort to use existing items for my projects, including plastic waste. I also enjoy buying fabrics or beads at flea markets, using old textiles from friends or family, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, I only create unique pieces, which, in my eyes, are already sustainable. My biggest criticism of the fashion industry is the overproduction of clothes, with new collections and trends every two weeks and such poor quality that items are unusable after only a few wears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C63QoSZMMAb\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"795\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"100539\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/paula-votteler-purse-shirt-66734e6b1de3d-795x1024.webp\" alt=\"seashell handbag and netting top by Paula Votteler\" class=\"wp-image-100539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/paula-votteler-purse-shirt-66734e6b1de3d-795x1024.webp 795w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/paula-votteler-purse-shirt-66734e6b1de3d-233x300.webp 233w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/paula-votteler-purse-shirt-66734e6b1de3d-768x990.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/paula-votteler-purse-shirt-66734e6b1de3d.webp 1026w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 795px) 100vw, 795px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C2wwhyiLbCI\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"927\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"100544\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/paula-votteler-jacket-66734e67858b0-927x1024.webp\" alt=\"Coat by Paula Votteler\" class=\"wp-image-100544\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/paula-votteler-jacket-66734e67858b0-927x1024.webp 927w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/paula-votteler-jacket-66734e67858b0-272x300.webp 272w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/paula-votteler-jacket-66734e67858b0-768x848.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/paula-votteler-jacket-66734e67858b0.webp 1108w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 927px) 100vw, 927px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-lot-of-your-designs-are-very-intricate-what-has-been-the-most-challenging-or-time-consuming-project-you-ve-taken-on-so-far\"><strong>A lot of your designs are very intricate.
