Sandra Backlund is well known for her knitwear in the fashion scene. Yet her Autumn/Winter 2010/2011 collection is a little different than we're used from her. Still employing her iconic knitting techniques, Backlund integrated different fabrics in her designs for the first time.
She uses ribbed motifs, angles, folds, rigid wings and exuberant pleated circles, that create sculptural geometric patterns and continuous variation. The result of all these forms is a collection with a strong three dimensionality that improves the natural shapes of the body. The voluminous yet controlled designs exaggerate and highlight certain parts of the body. Also different types of decorations are added to the collection: embroideries, appliquéd motifs, crystals and fringes.
However, half of her collection is still knitted, but this time she decided to approach the knitwear from a surface point of view: using stitches that give the illusion of fur and feathers.
Now, with this new collection, it's finally possible to buy the pieces Sandra Backlund made. This is one of the reasons Backlund made a little change in her work. So if all goes well, her work will appear in stores next fall!
