SUNKEN ANGELS project two Designed for Designers Remix DK 06.2013 Teko, Denmark

Inspiration and Concept: Trying to keep in mind the company’s philosophy and concept, I have started by analyzing the brands way of finding a theme which is choosing a relevant trend and take it further into a theme which uses the weather as a landmark( Example: trend-excess of white, weather – winter, cold, theme- hospital).

Therefore, due to the season, the global worming and the explosion of colors as trend, I have firstly thought of heat, the way that a ray of sun hits and melts. Motto: The chaos that brings piece of mind.

THE DARK SIDE. The piece of mind is brought by the thought of having hope, hope for a fresh start. Using chaos as a natural way of lifestyle to describe once again the target group. I believe every woman is living in her own chaos which she finds comfortable. That is up until it explodes and becomes a load. The change is built slowly helping her grow, flow up to the top, but never loose the roots.

The collection is based on the slow movement created by an enormous impact, it’s a reaction imagined as: a bullet going through a liquid, a fish moving on the bottom of the sea creating the rising, flowing sand; an explosion; a brainstorm.

target group Creating for those who looking sharp and being comfortable have always been an issue. For those who feel that peripatetic culture has become an intrinsic part of our life and it is changing modern society. People aiming for refinement and subtle elegance, lovers of tradition transposed to a modern look, the ones that appreciate hand work and uniqueness. No age restrictions given by the adequacy of lengths and silhouettes.
