In case you are still unaware of my blinding love for all things that come out of the nordic hinterland please have a listen about danish designer, Rikke Hubert, and come to my senses. Hubert's designs show the traditional attention to drape and form that you often see from Scandi designers. While the garments do not, at first look, appear complex, your eye will adjust and see the wrapped seaming, textural edge finishes, and the depth of draping that each of Hubert's designs posses. Refinery29 first interviewed this young designer and finds that Hubert's current collection is inspired by candy while her fall 08 collection was driven by Depeche Mode. Each of her inspirations are straight-forward, but in final garment come across in a semi-sinister, languid way. The designs call to mind a manic-depressive Acne or Stine Goya (another of Hubert's inspirations); where those brands concentrate on the aesthetic possibilities of function mixed lightly with personal theme, Hubert concentrates on representing her theme to the fullest while still considering the drape and elliptical shapes that are true to her design heritage.
