| Hjertenskjær |
"Hjertenskjær" means "the heart´s dearest" in Norwegian. This line is inspired by the most tender and
extravagantly feminine from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, like the fêtes champêtres of the rococo
era, Marie Antoinette´s attempted farmer´s life in the gardens of Versailles, the evening gowns of the
mid 1800s, wasp-like waists and Edwardian lace blouses.
Materials: Chiffon, tulle, satin, silk flowers, ruches, lace, pearls and rhinestones. Perfect for the summer
party, romantic date - or the wedding (dresses and accessories are made to measure).
