Quote:

EKSEMPEL - SOPHISTICATED AND INTELLIGENT WOMEN'S WEAR Ek'sem|pel [I´ksmbl]: Danish word for example, definition: a single case that illustrates the character as a whole. “I see the body as a unified whole and the moving body is my inspiration.This is why my design is made to complement it and why I name it EKSEMPEL… ” (Pernille Winther, designer) The philosophy and perception of the body that is the basis for these designs, is unique. The designs are based on lines and shapes that relate to the whole body, often without a front- and backpiece. Instead, they are designed to cling around the body in an elegant and subtle way so that both clothes and body appear sophisiticated and yet relaxed. EKSEMPEL's designs has a subtle graphical expression with focus on details, cut and the use and combination of high quality materials that accentuate the body in a discreet and intelligent way. "It is often in the correlation between different high quality materials that my designs come into existence…” (Pernille Winther, designer). EKSEMPEL combines intelligent and esthetic thinking which aims at giving the designs a sense of continuity. This means that women can be fond of the clothes for many seasons. In 2001 Pernille Winther started the brand Eksempel. Today the collections are being showed twice a year in Denmark, Germany, France, Greece and Japan.
