Freya Dalsjö - A/W 2013

FREYA DALSJØ AW13 collection was shown at Copenhagen Fashion Week. The collection isn't inspired by anything, but transcends the state and vision of FREYA DALSJØ. A flourishing collaboration with Kopenhagen Fur and the joy from not traveling has fertilised the collection. Sharp and sculptural silhouettes with contrasting materials which renew a sense of luxury in a time of crisis. What is exclusive and fragile meets the perverted and animalistic in a battle between good and evil.
