SS14 Winner - Designers' Nest Award
VISION - Copenhagen |
Designers' Nest Show and Award was created as an international platform to promote and expose the talent of up-and-coming Scandinavian design graduates. The Scandinavian students are given the opportunity to present their collections to international buyers, designers, media and trendsetters visiting CPH Vision fashion fair, held twice a year during Copenhagen Fashion Week.
This season's award was presented to Mathilde Maalouf of Kolding School of Design.
I love Maalouf's use of bold contrasting colour combined with minimal detail and off-the-body silhouettes. A creative, contemporary yet commercial collection.

The judges awarded the 1st runner up place to Catherine Bjerre. My own favourite piece from this collection is the cut-about striped outfit, below centre.

The 2nd runner up was Nilhan Johansen from Oslo National Academy of the Arts. A collection that cannot fail to make an impact. I love the strength of the monochromatic palette, the oversized slogans and clever play on the sweatshirt. Fabulous collection!

In addition to the winners, I would like to give a mention to three designers who caught my attention: Huang ting Yun, Naemi Gustavsson and Signe Rode Rio. Each designers' collection had individual outfits that I wanted to share in this post.
