TRINE HAV CHRISTIANSENRoyal College of Art MA graduate Trine Hav Christensen was born and raised in Denmark and spent her childhood collecting / hoarding little objects that were her so called little treasures. What used to be a hobby became her fetish and main inspiration for her bold, almost-sculptural silhouettes. From this fantasy world full of treasures, her graduate collection emerged from under the sea… A distinctly modern wet look with clear PVC jackets, metallic “seaweed”, Swarovski details, frills and acid colours all used together to create a synthetic underworld with a hint of the boudoir and classic haute couture elements. A perfect mix of water and fire was illustrated in garments such as one made with iridescent sea fan leaves and printed textiles that she developed with print designer Joanna Burdett. The enigmatic mood is heavily inspired by artist Pipilotti Rist and her luscious and colourful videos. Mystical mermaids wearing dresses with fluid movements. We’re sure that Trine will keep on digging up inspiration from her treasure chest to create magical garments in the future. blog: Chloé Sos http://www.trinehavchristensen.com/ -- source link
