adventures with sandra backlund

Thanks to Societal Sickness, I learned about Swedish fashion designer, Sandra Backlund and Design Magazine. Merci beaucoup!
The magazine is amazing & I absolutely love Sandra Backlund's sculptural take on fashion.

"My work is very personal to me. I improvise and allow myself to loose control and see what happens if I do not think so much about practical things. The human body is always the starting point. I am really fascinated by all the ways you can highlight, distort, and transform the natural silhouette of the body with clothes and accessories........It is the real thing and everything that the modern fashion industry is not." - Sandra Backlund
From her current collection, In No Time
Previous collection, Ink Blot Test

Previous collection, Don't Walk
(My favorite)

Previous collection, Diamond Cut Diamond

Previous collection, Blank Page

Previous collection, Perfect Hurts

Sandra offers great design elements, interesting materials, and something exclusively out of the ordinary.
A breath of fresh air.
