Christina Lovery

 

Most of Christina Lovery dresses are designed to enhance the curves of the female body, and the aim is to create evening gowns that look extravagant and feel comfortable to wear. The garments are inspired by the 1930’s and complemented with a modern edgy touch through unusual gatherings and draping.

Elton & Jacobsen was founded by Norwegian sisters Solveig and Åshild Elton Jacobsen. Elton & Jacobsen demonstrate their sustainable approach by using quality fabrics and creating innovative design.

Iselin Engan  

Iselin Engan is a relatively new brand addressing the high-end market, making dresses for young adults who wish to be feminine and interesting. A lot of draping with tulle as well as straps in bandage-like shapes. Edgy feminine clothing where transparency leaves room for conceptual explorations.

 

 

Nina Skarra  

Nina Skarra’s design is about creating new techniques, culling inspiration from historical clothes. The result is a collection that is sophisticated and sculptural, made of luxurious, ecological raw material in vivid colours. Each of the designed artefacts is an oversized jewel with new dimensions created by layered geometric elements. Her dresses are full of patchwork and cuts that create an illusion of movement, which is the central element of Nina Skarra visual expression. By using ecological raw material, non-toxic colour processing and ensuring fair labour conditions, Nina Skarra makes fashion that lasts. It is sophisticated and ecological, with high focus on unique design, a carefully developed concept and consistent presentation. The label Nina Skarra is chic and exclusive, clean and classic with an old-fashioned twist and a sense of adventure and movement.

 

 

Vera & William  

 

The concept of Vera&William is the brainchild and the outcome of previous collaboration between fashion designer Anne Cecilie Rinde and graphic designer Kaja Heyerdahl. One of the main purposes behind the Vera&William is via commercial relations to promote ethical and sustainable development within the fashion and textile industries as well as on the consumer market.
To meet the highest standards of quality and safety, Vera&William’s collections are made exclusively from clean raw materials in close co-operation with a number of carefully selected factories located in Northern Italy. “We are convinced that the world needs a wake-up call drawing attention to the lack of social responsibility and lost values, especially in the globally influential and cynical fashion industry. We strongly believe in Pure Quality – True to Nature…”
