J’Adore
Paris
4
A phrase said by many before, but i cant seem to get tired of it. I live in Paris for six months and I would go back any day given the chance. The city is like a gigantic museum with its beautiful architecture and the history behing every single one of its street. There’s nothing better than sitting at champs de mars and watch wonderful street performers who seemed to have been practicing for years or getting lost and eating a crepe nutella rediscovering the city you thought you knew like the palm of your hand. Paris is like a magical box full of surprises, definately a MUST on your bucketlist.

Dark phistication How did you get into sewing?
I come from a family with a mother who was a seamstress. She used to sew a lot of my clothes. My mother and aunt had a clothing shop for many years and so had my sister. My parents have always been self employed and owned different businesses so my dream is to have my own brand one day and be a successful designer.
How did you get into fashion design?
The fashion industry has always had my attention since I was very young. I have always read about fashion in books, magazines and other media. After high school I became the Store Manager in Copenhagen for a big danish fashion brand and I saw the business side of the industry. I got to learn more about collections, sales, service etc. and after that I decided to get more into the creative side of the industry.
What item of clothing do you find most difficult to make and why?
I have made some leather jackets that have been very, very time consuming, not necessarily difficult, but it required patience and still fingers. I love to work on small details and for that you need to work hard and concentrated; hand sticking beads, sewing leather etc.
What’s your favourite item of clothing to make and why?
Dresses. I love dresses, I wear them all the time. You can style it and design them in countless ways.
Who are your favourite designers?
I work for a danish fashion brand, By Malene Birger. The brand has been my favorite for 10 years. The collections are gorgeous, simple lines, amazing details and you can see the love for each item.
Where do you get your inspiration from? Magazines, people, things around me, other designers, especially scandinavian designers, a visit to flee stores, blogs, the options are endless
What have you been working on lately?
I love clean lines in my designs. Right now I am working on a long jacket with a black/white striped pattern. It's semi-long, it has a simple look but I let the patterned fabric do its magic and follow the curved lines on the woman. Hopefully it will be done soon, so I can wear it for autumn.
Has learning how to make clothes changed your opinion of the high street? Why? Definitely. You get a better understanding on all the stages of designing clothes -

the progress. From sketching to the final result. Some details can take forever, and if you have never tried to sew yourself, you have no idea how long it takes to hand stitch beads, put in a sleeve or cut out leather and delicate fabrics such as silk and chiffon.
What products of yours can people purchase at the moment?
Everything from my collection; dresses, leather jackets, bags etc.
What’s your ultimate fashion faux pas?
Still to be made… :) But I have to say that there is a big difference between fx the danish fashion and the spanish fashion - North vs. South. I get so many different responses to my designs from different countries. Some can get the point with, let's say a specific dress I design and others can't. And that is the wonderful thing about designing; there are SO many consumers, with so many different styles, needs and attitudes, and it would be a pleasure and a dream to get, just some of them, their full attention!
Where did the inspiration come from for your collection? I just did a project about my favorite decade, the 1920's, and was already inspired by the Art Deco. I was riding
my bike in Copenhagen and I passed by a building with a big glass facade. The facade had a pattern of triangles. And then I started thinking of shapes from there and I found out different meanings of triangles. The point down triangle represents female energy and power. Furthermore it represents intellect, love and creation. So in my collection you will find triangles. My biker jacket has a triangle on the back ,the lining has a triangle detail so has the bags; it is going through the collection. I design for the woman who appreciates clean designs with cool edgy details, simple lines, and beautiful shapes. I always use fabrics of a high quality; ex. napa leather, silk, viscose, cotton etc. Fabrics that are comfortable to wear and that last a long time. I also love using printed fabrics, it gives an extra edge and is wonderful to use for ex. a beautiful dress, shirt or lining in a jacket.
What’s your guilty pleasure?
I, as a designer will always use dark colors in my collection. For this one I used different tones of blacks and greys and then I used a beautiful mustard color for ex. my silk dress. I think it is very typical for scandinavian design to use blacks in a collection, I know you can create so many beautiful things with colors… But using dark colors will always be my thing, Besides that, Ice cream.
