A talent to watch, from Denmark: Cecile Bahnsen
Cecilie Bahnsen is a Danish fashion designer who has recently completed her MA at Royal College of Art in London.
She is one of the designers selected to show her first collection at the exhibition space at on/off in London. The collection was inspired by the super modern look of the 1920’s World Exhibitions in Paris and their illusionary conception of the future, combined with references to the 1990’s and how Cecilie used to dress as a teenager.
While creating the look and selecting materials for her collection, Cecilie focused on achieving an effortless feel and a style that would radiate wearability.
She worked with soft layering of materials and a strong focus on techniques and fabric combination. The main lines of the collection were graphic print, shiny bomber jackets and complex folded structures and pleats.
Her second collection by the way was the one that I loved the most: a color palette ranging from delicate pastels like mint green and whitish rose to black, an overall retro and comfortable look, a great attention to details and accessories. The plastic eyeglasses are gorgeous, and the hats, like in her previous collection, are just to die for. The floral embellishments fit well on the sleek jersey silhouettes, topped by oversize knitted cardigans or cube-shaped bomber jackets.
Hope to see much more in the future!
