ABOUT THE DESIGNER'S INSPIRATION AND DESIGN PROCESS
Helga Jóna Thórunnardóttir writes about the design:
Det var let at blive inspireret af Marianne Isagers smukke designs fra 1980’erne og 1990’erne, men jeg besluttede hurtigt, at jeg ville arbejde med Hjælm — et design, jeg straks kunne se mig selv i.
Pasformen i det originale design var allerede utrolig smuk, så den lod jeg næsten være, som den var. I stedet fordybede jeg mig i detaljerne: kanter, knaphuller, vendestrik og den helt rigtige finish for mig — alt det, jeg elsker at nørde med. På den måde kunne jeg løfte designet og sætte mit eget præg på det, uden at miste det udtryk, jeg faldt for.
Andrea Hood er strikket i Isager Tweed, der har det mest vidunderlige, levende farvespil, og i kombination med to tråde Isager Silk Mohair opstår et væld af smukke farvenuancer og en blød, luksuriøs kvalitet. Der er lagt meget tid og kærlighed i detaljerne, og jeg er oprigtigt glad for resultatet. Til opskriften har jeg desuden lavet flere instruktionsvideoer, som guider dig trygt gennem alle trin.
Jeg har stor respekt for Marianne Isager — både som designer og som menneske — og er dybt taknemmelig for at have fået lov til at bringe hendes smukke design ind i nutiden og lade det møde Andrea Hood.
ABOUT ISAGER ARCHIVES 2 - COLLECTION
This collection is inspired by Marianne Isagers many designs from the 80s and 90s. 15 of Denmark’s most talented knitwear designers have spent a weekend with us in Tversted, with access to Marianne’s substantial collection of patterns.
