The Fashiongton Post: What does the name “Raubdruckerin” mean, and why did you choose it for your brand?

Emma-France Raff: “Raubdruckerin” comes from the German word “Raubdruck,” which means “pirate print”, and it can be translated accordingly as “a female pirate printer”. I definitely didn’t choose it because it’s ‘easy’ to spell internationally  , but rather as a symbol of subculture, individuality, feminine-word-culture, and the idea of imprinting existing patterns from our surroundings. It’s also about changing the way people interact with their everyday spaces.

In 2017, more trips to Budapest and Vienna will follow. 2018 Athens, Rome, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Paris and Copenhagen. 2019 Lisbon. Europes metropolis become a open air printing workshop.
