Focusing on print and working with different dimensions, I seek to
visualise an alternative approach to prints.
“What determines what a print is?”
In this collaboration with Marimekko I’ve chosen to work with the
core essence of Marimekko’s prints and geometrical cuts.

The colourful and magical world of Zandra Rhodes inspired me to
create this collection with many textile dimensions. The patterns
and silhouettes are an intriguing blend of abstract and organic
shapes. Prints with dramatic contrasts made up of formal Vietnamese
symbols and romantic 19th-century paintings.
The collection is brightly-coloured, with exciting textures and
nuances. Sheer and coarse materials in layers enhance a
three-dimensional, vibrant effect. Ragged seams and large,
embroidered zigzag stitching add to the raw, bohemian style of the
collection.
Special thanks to Zandra Rhodes, for your time and enthusiasm.

In this project I want to compose a playful collection of bold,
lively prints, colours and individuality. I want to use silhouettes
that allow wearers to jump around and move freely, I want to make
them FEEL BOLD.

Palmer//Harding, aka The Shirt Boys, aim to dress women in
everyday life with the same enthusiasm and consideration as though
it were a night out. Taking their inspiration from the shirt, they
strive to balance elegance and attitude to achieve “simplicity,
but dramatic simplicity” as they put it.
During this project my approach has been to apply their concept
and aspiration to capture elegance. To explore it, I have based my
research on the life of my grandmother, as she epitomises elegance
to me.
The focus of the collection became even clearer when I studied old
photos of her; I told her that she looked so elegant in these
classic pieces, whereas if I wore them today, I would look
vintage, , rather than elegant. And she explained that this was
because the pieces weren’t classic at the time, they were modern,
they expressed an attitude.
So, my intention with this collection is to capture the elegance
of her style, in pieces that could be worn today and make you feel
as elegant as she did in the 1950s, but modern enough to be
relevant.

The collection “HELGA” is an interpretation of what something
personal is. To step into somebody else’s world and try to
understand it, try to live in it and create something meaningful out
of it. Personality plays a very important role in my concept and
because Matty Bovan with whom I’m collaborating admired femininity
and concept, and female extravagance, I’m going to design for the
most female version of me: HELGA.
This alter ego, a Russian-german 1930s diva, will blow your mind.
She is undoubtedly the most confident woman I ever saw and she’s not
afraid of anything. She is the definition of what I look up to and
want to be like. Carefree and independent with a simple smile she
can turn your troubles into fairy dust. And I promise you this:
she’ll make you cry like a little boy.

My collection combines two worlds:
My fantasy glittery world and the ordinary world, the one right
outside my door. I also challenge my own taste. I have combined
fabrics that most people would say don't go together.
Materials in the collection: Sequins, tweed, knitted wool yarn,
knitted faux fur yarn, wool tweed and azure.

My collection is inspired by the pop artistry and performers
commercial ideas, and along with this, the reflection of
individualistic growth. The collection is also inspired by Zandra
Rhodes and the people and artist´s in the 80's and late 70's.

Ever since I was a child, my mom has passed down generations of
knowledge of textiles, such as handcrafts like knitting and
quilting, that are typical of the place where I grew up. Later on,
as a teenager, I inherited a lot of my sister’s old clothes.
The mentality of keeping things and using what's available runs in
the family. To repair, patch, inherit and save everything that can
be saved. So, the research in this project is about going back to my
roots in Dala-Järna. Inspired by the culture and the typical
clothes, fabrics and techniques, I created this collection.

Nomen Nescio is a brand that applies a mindset of sustainability.
Unlike most brands, it does not create for seasons, gender or a
specific age group. Nomen Nescio wants to design black clothing
for people with a minimalistic aesthetic that will last for
several seasons and generations.
With this in mind, I want to create the ultimate elevated classics
wardrobe featuring garments for every occasion in everyday life
regardless of season. What isreally needed to achieve
functionality and still make us feel confident and our best self?
At work, school, the gym, at home and travelling to work.
I want to work with classic garments and smart multifunctional
design, leaving you free to express yourself in the way you wear
it. Zipping or buttoning in different ways to find who you want to
be today. I would also like to offer a hem to length service where
customers can order the right length. We have sizing for different
body shapes but why not different sleeve and leg lengths? In this
way, wearers can also have coat or trouser lengths altered
according to their own requirements.

A collection where there are no norms, a collection made for
everyone and no one. Without gender. Abnormal shapes and surprising
elements.

Over the past months, most of the world has faced unprecedented
challenges. This situation brought to our societies a lot of
confusion and anxiety but also led us to ask ourselves what was
really important, how we could envision a new and better world, how
we could unite in the face of adversity and work together.
Out of those graphs that are now so present in our lives and
dehumanise a very human issue, I want to create something beautiful;
from the confusion and shock of this situation I want to learn and
grow, to find an emotional balance.
