I love her designs: the details, the prints... very intricate.

Her designs are to me similar to Hoss and to this design collaboration between Catalina Estrada (illustrator) and Brazilian fashion brand called Anunciação

Me too..
The texture is nice
the roughness of the background
as if printed on burlap/linen
It would be interesting if the fabric is actually making that effect

Thanks Hanne !

And I particularly fancy that scarf!!!

And another one I truly love is the jodhpurs-esque silhouette she's done to her trousers most esp. the one in denim! B)

the scraf is ridiculously expensive tho.. about 450$ ..if you locate some tribal thai fabric and some colorful tassles you can do a diy job for a fraction of what that scarf costs..

They are selling like hotcakes in Denmark..Good for her..

You need to forward to 3:54 for the actually 'runway'.

wow! I think I will just go with your DIY suggestion!!!
It really costs but it's just so darn beautiful!

Does she show at Copenhagen Fashion Week???

Some of the pieces seem lovely, like the brown blouse somewhere in there. Most of it is just nice to look at, for the tribal element mainly but ultimately, loud patterns and shapes that you can ID from a mile away are one of my many pet peeves, they make me feel like a potential part of some who wore it best or that was the season when.. kind of entertainment.

I think the pieces are nice...
I prefer the quieter prints, however...
Also, I'm not too mad about her use of hot pink...
Or the styling of this presentation...
but a lot of it could look good if styled well, I think...
Ty for posting Hanne!

thanks hanne...
the prints remind me of mina perhonen...

which is definitely a good thing....

 

[Whitelinen]

Lovely prints, very beautiful. I wonder what technique she uses with them?

I would love to see past collections and other examples of her work.

Well, I do believe she'd make a wonderful addition to the line-up esp. now that CPHFW is growing!
(Although I'd really like to see more menswear labels from that fashion week... haha )
