As Sandra Backlund continues to grow her fledgling label her directional silhouettes continue to be highly recognisable. Offering a stark colour scheme for Spring/Summer 2009, here she has demonstrated her interpretation of spiderwebs, orchids, and butterflies.
Photo: John ScarisbrickOften I have been asked, is her designs wearable? For some absolutely, but for the average woman she has designed pieces that can be worn with jeans, or skirts. Heavy pullovers worn on a tall individual would be best, but a scarf can be worn by all. I'm not sure if she has created any scarves but in her previous collections there have been some hoods/hats.
Photo: John ScarisbrickHer concentration on heavy knitted collages in large organic shapes that never ever repeat season after season never seem to disappoint. According to Sandra her designs are fuelled by thinking of wool as a sculpting tool rather than a fashion tool.
