I am looking through graduation projects to use in some editorials I am working on and came across Liza Fredrika Åslund´s collection from 2010. In my mind a very delicate and strong conceptual collection from the young Swede- she graduated from The Danish Design School last year and you can read more about her, here..
This is how she explains in what way the collection came to her in her dreams while fasting..!
"I dreamt that I was strolling down a street in a deserted city much like Copenhagen. Not a person was in sight, it was right at dawn and all the curtains were hanging outside the windows.
As i strolled down the pavement all the sheer curtains kept brushing up against my face and they smelled faintly of old men’s perfume.
I entered a house and in the lobby there was a huge bathtub with a large chandelier hanging over it. The chandelier was all covered in wax and there was a small set of stairs leading down to the bathtub, which was also drenched in stiffened wax. In a connected room with black and white checkered floor was a bowl of Anthon Bergh’s marzipan eggs, the chocolate ones covered with a hard pastel coating. Only these ones were broken and larger than they would normally be. I ate one of them and they started growing in my mouth ending up with me vomiting melted chocolate in a never-ending pace."
