Annakarin Lundgren Danmarks Designskole – Fashion Design – 2010
MA GRADUATE PROJECT
"I like to remember things my own way"
In this project I have embraced my skills of working intuitive. When doing so, it is the subconciousness that rules. The collection is based on a specific mood and feeling of a film which does not yet exist. You have no control and it´s just like a dream, totally defenseless by the abstractions. Right now I’m making a fashion/short-film based on the collection and the abstract story that has evolved during this process.
Peaceful, deserted, dry, art-deco, slow, cubism, futurism and Russian constructivism art movements, architecture and big machines, massive and feminine. A woman who believes she has a past from Kolmanskope desert.
Reading a script from an unproduced film I got inspired by how you interplait things in your own way when there are no pictures. I don’t think that it’s always the best thing when people easily can read or understand what you have done or tried to express.
Fashion easily repeat itself and I rather see that people get curious than educated and understood.
