About

I’m a Swedish fashion designer with a background in art, sculpture and textile form. My work focuses on silhouette, construction, and material experimentation, and I often work across garments, footwear, and accessories. Familiar references are reworked through proportion, structure and craft into something more sculptural, playful and unexpected.

Inspired by ceremonial military uniforms, the collection explores how clothing can alter posture and the visual perception of the body. Through exaggerated silhouette and construction, the garments draw on historical principles found in ceremonial military dress. Verticality, bodily distortion, and ornamentation are used to explore how clothing shapes the body's presence and perception.
