Ostwald Helgason’s clothing caught my eye while I was browsing Catwalk Genius. It was the fascinating graphic patterns, soft colours, and classic shapes that I found appealing. I’ve been really wanting to mix some interesting pattern into my wardrobe recently so I’ve been on a bit of a hunt.
Designers, Susanne Ostwald and Ingvar Helgason, founded the label in 2006 and had the privilege of showing their collection at Berlin Fashion week in 2008. Otswald handles the print and colours for each collection while Helgason creates the silhouettes. The biography section of the site cites art, nature, technology, men’s tailoring, and textile design as their inspirations for their collections. This is a pair of very talented designers who we’ll all be hearing more about in the near future.
I’ve posted four photos from their S/S 09 and four from their A/W 08 collections. Be sure to check out the archives section of the site as the past collections are all fantastic as well.
Danish label Engbirk, as is simply stated on the website, is classic clothing with a twist.
