Helena Hörstedt

Helena Hörstedt is a Swedish design label // Helena Hörstedt es una diseñadora de Suiza.

What she say about her work:
"I think the genuine work and the handcrafted feeling gives an irreplaceable value to the garment. The trade of handcrafting is always one of the most important sources for both construction of and inspiration for my design.
I want my garment to be a fascinating visual experience as much as a usable. I want them to build a desire, continuously expand and to surprise the beholder."

Anne Sofie Madsen

THE DANISH DESIGN SCHOOL

Anne Sofie Madsen: diseñadora e ilustradora Danesa // Danish illustrator and fashion designer

What she explain about her collection:

In traditional Maori art the most dominant, mythical motif is the “avianised man” or “bird-woman”. The most important visual art forms are plaiting, relief carving and tattoo.
My idea in this collection was to combine (and confront) this with classic, European clothing - in order to express the contrasts and borders between what we see as primitive/civilianized, exotic/classic and barbaric/elegant.
My idea was not to create bird suits or folk costumes and I decided not to use feathers in the garments and to “translate” the traditional materials of the Maori. I used shoelaces instead of flax strips and exchanged tattooed skin with leather applied on invisible tulle.
