A KALTBLUT exclusive editorial that portrays the theme of supernatural beings and Scandinavian myths. The editorial features the collection ‘SELSHAMOUR ~ HIDE + SEAM’ by designer Mona Cordes. Photography by Chiara Gambuto.
I took the mysterious nature, the hidden and secret elements of the underworld, into today’s world and gave them a modern aesthetic of my own.
Elements of nature: earth, fire, air and water play an important role in the supernatural realm. The different characters in sagas, fairy tales, poems and songs are inspiring for my work and I decided on 8 characters to portray in my final looks including for example ‘Ljosalfar’ a light elve, ‘Kajsa’ an air fairy, ‘Kraken’ a sea monster and ‘Logi’ a fire~giant.As of COVID there has not been a show for us Masters students at Kingston university neither a showcase so I am looking for outlets to get my work out.
