If there is a Danish name that may slide perfectly as a synonym of urban aesthetics in the fashion scene, that would be Ivan Grundhal.
The acclaimed designer has been mastering grunge, asymmetry and uneven silhouettes for over 30 years. And season by season, collection by collection, he has been remarkably able to reach and conquer the hearts and closets of scandinavians fashionistas and international trend setters.
Known for his coolness and non chalant spirited designs, the voluminous and unequalled cuts balance harmoniously a smart and unlikely mix of fabrics and textures.This season, Marilyn Monroe got out of bed, with unbrushed hair and an irresistibly punk, rebellious attitude. Just like that, Ivan Grundhal’s models defiantly strutted the runway in heavy boots and dramatic volumes. Their delicate bodies drowned comfortably in delightful oversized knits that romanced the androgynous appeal of loose trousers.Black, black and black were complimented by sweaters in dark prints and army greens and sporadically greeted by pops of red. Large pockets and lace adorned various outfits, as balloon shaped dresses and discrete sequined skirts provided hints of femininity.
Dark, creative and very city like, an underground Ivan Grundhal signs for Fall 2014’s collection a never ending ode to grunge.
