With its focus on honest materials, clear structure, function that dominates form, the influence on how the social principles of the Nordic countries are integrated into the national furniture has had a huge impact worldwide. Textile creatives almost a century later seem to follow The same principle – materials are at the forefront, honest construction is the key. Modernity has always been something that Denmark has mastered with aplomb, even though the process may still be done by hand. There’s a magic in it, and of course in today’s world, people are more eager than ever to embrace handcraft as a core value. Look Looking at the work of three creatives whose approaches are markedly different – impulsive and perfectionist restraint – and the more subtle signals that loop them together is their dedication to craftsmanship that sees them exploiting the old technology to produce new things. “ To me it feels like A nice and fair way to create a new brand (but…) into a fast-paced and sometimes scary fashion industry. My goal was, and still is, to create something that felt and looked like a human hand had touched it. “ dedicated to Nicklas Skovgaard, whose work exudes extraordinary yet restrained elegance in his A-line skirt and hands, woven bodice and complementary headpiece, whose role is not so much in his Whispering in the whole picture, it is better to say it is a whisper. Create your own textiles on an old hard heald loom made in Denmark, dating back to 74, Niklas has been creating his own textiles for two and a half years – fabric and form interact. “ My brand has one Very coincidental start – it started with a small thrift store discovered one summer vacation; a children’s loom. After a few months of trying, it was replaced by a bigger loom on which I could make textiles to make different clothes. From the beginning, I never set out to start my own brand, but slowly it evolved into creating different clothes, which I do for a living now. This is a great way to start and keep things a little bit haphazard rather than rushed. and the clothes’ role as conversation starters – their ability to spark conversation, which is how Niclas sees their potential power:” I hope that by sharing the process and work behind the pieces I create, it will make us start talking, thinking, appreciating and caring about the new clothes we buy, but also the clothes that already exist.” For knitwear designer Laerke Bagger, it’s this power of communication that gets her excited about her work. “I know what I want the finished garment to convey – not what it needs to look like, but what it needs to convey. For example, I want it to convey a feeling of, or references to pop culture that I am deeply influenced by. I start the process with proofing to find out what materials work and what don’t (I mostly do sweaters, Because I’m not very good at construction), and then as I started, it continued to evolve during construction, so the finished product was never what I wanted to imagine it to be.

The pieces can evolve as they go because I do everything by hand and a lot happens during the production process. “ In addition to this communication tool it can play, for Laerke it is also the community that forms which plays an important role in her craft. “It’s a subculture or community that emerged or started to emerge many years ago. Women and now men have been making handicrafts, but in the privacy of their own homes. I’m not the only one – there are many of us – there is a zeitgeist going on and craftsmanship should have this new place and should feature more: him as the industry’s star craftsman. “ Why she thinks that there is this rate of return to the flesh is that the modern world has grabbed our attention. “This is the only thing we can absorb Something we are all preoccupied with. Having materials on hand makes it possible for you not to be online to provide yourself with this sanctuary. Free yourself from the fast pace of everything. “ There’s also the fact that craftsmanship often requires comparison: how people did it, what steps they took, what were their results. “Weavers want to show other knitters what they do. They want to meet and do what they do together. “ One of the Danish brands that has grown amazingly in the last year is definitely the birth of the brand A. Roege Hove, summed up by founder Amalie” out of deep understanding of traditional knitting craftsmanship Love, and ambition to modernize and explore its limitless possibilities. I have always been creative and interested in fashion and textiles, but knitting has always been my main focus and expression in the past year. Graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts with a master’s degree in textile design, and worked as a knitwear designer for Danish brands such as Cecilie Bahnsen and Mark Tan. I started A. Roege Hove as a way to bring my own vision to life, aiming to further challenge and rethink the ancient craft. “ 94887891 Most Popular Photography Fashion PhotoVogue&# ;s GLOBAL OPEN CALL • THE NEXT BIG TIME t Fashion Image Producer • Jury author Francesca Malani Photography Fashion PhotoVogue&#;s GLOBAL PUBLIC TELEPHONE• Next A great fashion image maker After Alessia Graviano
