Frida Ringstrom

Diseñador, para hombres inspirado en el RoadKill (asesinato en la carretera).


The inspiration behind Swedish menswear designer Frida Ringstom's new collection came from photos she found of animal roadkill. "I became interested in the stiffness and all these crazy angles their dead bodies had," says the 25-year-old, who designed an overall as a template for all the pieces in the collection, using the same pattern over and over again and moved it around to distort the arms, legs and back by sewing them in unusual directions. The whole collection is knitted, and Ringstrom worked with washed-out colours to get a used, pale feeling. "I make all the materials myself for the collection by using hand knitting machines and I sew it together by hand. I wanted the collection to have that handcrafted feel."

What inspired you to put teddy bears heads in the collection? I don't like the whole model/catwalk thing so I thought it would be fun to do something different.
