The Concept of Explosure: Karen by Simonsen S/S 2010

HER THOUGHTS:

As a designer, I am graphic and geometric-based. I am thinking in lines. intensely appearing in my design scope each time a new collection takes shape.

The world of math is strangely uneven but at the same time, true in a skewed balance very useful in the design process. I combine the two opposites and an explosion takes place. It generates the dynamics of energy. And the momentum is the nerve that creates the life of each individual collection. The rhythm based on, creation, erosion, cleansing, restoration and ultimately balance. Explosure can be powerful and expressive but also cool and discrete, but you know when its there – you feel it!

HER ELEMENTS:

- Plato's five elements in a graphic context
- Inspiration of a historic time period
- Modern fabrics
- Simple silhouettes

HER DNA:

- Basic blocks, and innovative fabrics, strong details.
- A sharp communique which is easy to identify.

HER ATTITUDE:

- ”If U can’t be a good example - be a horrible warning!”
- Edgy sensuality, Femme fatale, Luxury lovers, Self righteous
