EVA KITTELSEN

I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything in a while, but I got a couple of job interviews and had to do a quick trip to Norway, so I’ve been rather busy lately! I think it went well by the way… ;) Time will tell..

Ah, also, the tutors have decided who gets to showcase their work at New Designers in London, and I’m one of them, yey! So if you’re in London between the 26th and 29th of June you can come by and have a look at my work up close :)

About this dress:

Of all the designs in my collection this dress was the first design that gave me a clear direction and it acted as inspiration for the rest of my garments. The whole dress is hand screen printed with devore paste to create a subtle burnout textile design. The red circles (based on lingonberries!) are full of detail with various techniques used on them such as dyeing, screen print, flock, foil, discharge print and machine embroidery. The neckline has a digital print with flock on top. The devore creates a sheer see through effect and the dress can be worn with or without a tight fitting white slip.

Here are some more pictures from my final collection!

Finally! I’ve been so busy with my internship with Charlotte Taylor, applying for jobs and getting ready for the uni fashion show that I haven’t gotten around to it yet. 

Anyway,

This top is made of a silk viscose blend that I have screenprinted with a devore paste to create the burnout print, before dyeing it by hand. The neckline is a soft, red leather. The trousers are made of digitally printed silk with a wool suiting on the back. It also has a laser-engraved leather yoke that can only be fully appreciated when seen in real life.

Finally the photos are here!

Here’s a first glance into this very personal collection. It’s my final collection at university and it’s called “Closer to the ground” and is inspired by details in Norwegian nature that are often overlooked, such as the texture on leaves, cracks in stones and squashed berries. This delicate dress is made of hand-dyed silks and laser-cut leather. Intricate textures and transparencies were achieved by carefully screen printing devore onto the silk.

I am currently doing an internship with the designer Charlotte Taylor in London and she has recently opened her first ever pop-up shop! I started just in time to get to help out and experience all of it. I’ve been running errands, cleaning, ironing, shopping, sewing curtains for the changing room picture above and I made some paper mache penguin heads for the mannequins, and other random stuff that needs to be done! (Now that the opening is over I’m doing other stuff too, like today I’ve been drawing flats for an upcoming resort collection) Yesterday was the presslaunch for the popup shop and it was a great night with cannapes, live music, drinks, jelly shots, models, socialites and of course a lot of great clothes! If you live in the London area you should stop by some day! It’s located at 54 Sloane Square. Charlotte Taylors designs are truly inspired and you won’t find anything like it anywhere else. The prints are colourful, fun and playful, on quality tailored clothing, making it a perfect combination of quirky and sophisticated. Her pieces are easy to style and they are suitable for almost any age! 

Here are some pictures I took on the day as well as some photos from Tatler

Here’s a sneak peak of some details from my final collection at University!

Hope you like it :)
