We can’t deny the tremendous influences of Swedish fashion today (and Scandinavian fashion in general), from the photos of Swedish street look on The Sartorialist, the hip denim labels of ACNE, NUDIE, and Cheap Monday, to the retail giant, H&M, and many more. Helena Hörstedt is an emerging Swedish designer known for her intricate constructions, pleats, frills, multi-layering material, origami /geometric foldings, lots of volumes, elaborate techniques, and using solely BLACK as her primary color.
Her collection has caught the eyes of everyone in the industry, from hintmag.com, stylebubble, V magazine, Nylon magazine, WWD, Diane Pernet of ASVF.com, the Fashion Spot forum to every fashion blogs have mentioned her amazing collection since last year. I’m sure some of you have heard about her, a FD member has posted a Helena Hörstedt‘s LBD on the forum a while ago, and I think it’s not too late to have her as our designer du jour on FD.. *After all, it’s better late than never 😉
