Laerge Hooge Andersen

As with the pioneering work of Suzanne Lee, Laerge Hooge Andersen is also pushing the boundaries between science, textiles and fashion. Laerge's imagination and portfolio is shaping the future of textile developments akin to how science fiction has often become science fact.

Her graduation project 'The Synthetic Kingdom’ is a project that explores the possible fabrics of the future in fashion and culture. Lærke stops us thinking practically about textiles in favor of viewing textiles as conceptual expressions. She hints at the need for this abstraction, specifically in the world of textiles, as a means to keep things current. And current doesn’t have to mean technologically advanced, just future specific and constantly challenging.

Please explore her portfolio and open yourselves to the possibilities that being a designer offers, you shape the future.

Borre Akkersdijk II

Borre Akkersdijk's work constantly surprises me. A year ago I wrote describing his 'ready-made' series which used the construction techniques of mattress makers.
Now with 'First Cycle' his padded quilted creations are less air sprung mattress and more eiderdown, akin to traditional Chinese quited jacket's that were popular in the late 1970's.
Borre Akkersdijk uses this quilting to create unique fashion in terms of both texture and silhouette.
