Astrid Anderson
Astrid Anderson is a street wear in the
luxury end Danish designer, who I thought is the most talented up rising
designer that I look up to, I like almost every of her designs, which it can
been worn unisex. Colors she uses are simple, even similar materials, but the
texture and the color correspond to each other, even though it’s street wear,
it doesn’t give you a feeling of not classy or inappropriate for any occasions.
It’s the details and overall feel to her quality of design that attracts me;
with out being common or extremely odd, those are practical pieces with a
design edge. She graduated in Royal College of Art MA course in London, being
the best of her class, she soon being spotted on her graduation show and
received a huge acclaim from the industry and starting her own label. In 2010
she was a finalist in ITS Nine as well as being nominated as Talent 2010 by
Italian Vogue; it is rare that street wear can be at the high fashion luxurious
end, which I though it’s pretty amazing. She also won the Brioni Creativity and
Innovation Award and the River Island MA student Bursary Award designing 3
looks for the high street retailer. Now she works in both London and
Copenhagen, which both cities gives her different inspirations, which I think
it’s also amazing to work in the cities you like and inspired to, doing the job
you adore, be with the people you love; that’s like the best thing a person can
have I thought. Initially I found her brand by looking at her work being worn
on Rocky ASAP, which I thought the presentation, was edgy and not cliché like
the ordinary street wear we seeing everyday. Entering her website, the
basketball net made from chain looked amazing and I knew straight after that I
would love her works, not making clothes, but also making artworks in the
industry bring in fresh ideas.
