Neoprene

Freya Dalsjø is one of the most exciting designers emerging from Denmark. After living in Berlin, she moved to Antwerp where she studied at Royal Academy of Fine Arts. Later, she launched her own brand in June 2012, bringing strong, modernistic concept. Freya Dalsjø provokes with architectural and artistic approach to fashion, bringing strong colours, sharp silhouttes and interesting technologies to life. Her love for fur has been further explored through a collaboration with Kopenhagen Fur. A material which she irreverently mixes with neoprene. And you can clearly see that in her SS15 collection, where Freya uses coloured fur on sandals! The collection itself had lots of colours and extraordinary details – natural stone necklaces, nordic prints, fluid like dresses… and a slightly punkish feel, in posture of piercing on the model’s noses. Dalsjø definitely belongs to the world of neoprene!

Today at the amazing fashion fair here in Poznan, Poland, I had a pleasure to meet Michal Mrzyglod, the designer of a fresh label Mrzyglod. This London based label created by this young, amazing designer, is a mixture of street style influence, hi-tech fabrics and Polish folklore cut-outs but are made thanks to laser in Michal’s designs. As he shows his impressive pieces on male model, I would rather say that they are more unisex- definitely they are looking great on women. What I loved in his new collection that I saw today in live at the Hush fashion fair, is the youthful energy, strong colours and the practicality that is thanks to fabrics created by the designer. There is a big use of nowadays hottest material, neoprene and lots of salmon leather attached to sweatshirts and bags. Oh, and the shoes… These look really cosmic! If talking of Polish/London fashion scene, Michal Mrzyglod is the name to watch!
