Talking trends and inspiration for new ideas, I thought I could share with you my new collection, womenswear fall/winter -11.

My inspiration and theme is “hidden”, a collection built on the human needs of sometimes just hiding… “Trapped or just hiding?”…was kind of the ideas around this collection… Maybe in order to be comfortable one must be able to hide sometimes, or at least be able to adapt the garments to choose what to show and what to hide…

As result to this, you’ll see several examples of high collars (to cover up), even a loose one to wear as an accessory, on top of another garment. There are two kinds of “undie” dresses that can be combined with all of the tops of the collection. I call them “undies” because they’re not really meant to be worn all alone, but underneath as a basic layer, in order to feel comfortable to wear for example a really deep cut top, that falls over the shoulders. And when you wear them you feel as if you were wearing a “body pantyhose” that holds in and gives support.

So here’s 2010. A new time is awaiting loaded with colourful visions. But before concentrating on the future forms we need to glance into the rear-view mirror. To know what is ahead it’s important to be aware of the past. Then deciding what stuff stays and goes. I feel we are moving on from these,

Minimalism: People are full of stories and bagage. A house without a colorful storyline is no house.
Trend, A rebellious movement against al kind of “trend obeying” would render the future more unpredictable.

Hopefully moving towards, Space instead of object focusing. Meaning, decorating with the eye on the space/area instead of consentrating on what we have to fill it with.
