SLIJM is a very loyal friend. Sometimes a bit slow and introverted, but loving and very helpful, Slijm slɛi̯m is Dutch and means phlegm. This character is green and has excellent eyesight. The body shape of my phlegmatic imaginary friend resembles an insect, elephant, and frog.

Slijm’s fitted jacket is camouflage and a loud reflective signal at the same time. The dress can be adjusted to any body or feeling with different elastic adjustment options. Whoever wants to show more can wear it very tight with many cut-outs. If you prefer to disappear anonymously in the crowd, you will also find a wide, closed dress. You can always change it along the way. The backpack is a turtleshell in neon green, big enough to hide and carry all of your belongings. You can also use it as a pillow for yoga or watching the clouds in the sky…
