showroom and was lucky enough
that Dover Street Market saw my de-
signs and bought into them for both
their London and New York stores.
DSM’s support and faith in the
brand was really the starting point of
it all and it was great to have that
acknowledgement from the begin-
ning. It gave me the faith that, with
Copenhagen as my base, I could still
create and establish an internation-

al womenswear brand that would be
known for the same qualities as are
Danish interiors and architecture.

What drives you in your work,
and life?
My work as a designer has al-
ways been a part of me. Femininity
and romanticism are part of my per-
sonality and designing clothes is my
way of telling this story. I am drawn

to the poetry and emotional appeal
of handmade and couture tech-
niques. Sculptural silhouettes are
always part of my design universe
and inspiration.

Where do you seek inspiration
for your collections?
I have always been drawn to em-
broidery and textiles development
and working with creating swatches.
