Emerging Fervour

Kristian Aadnevik is 32, he’s Norwegian and he’s super-talented. After working for Harrods International, Charles Jourdan and Alexander McQueen, he decided to set up his own label in 2004. Take a peek at some of his masterpieces…

S/S 2009

His label is often described as gloomy, opulent and glamorous…another one of London’s ‘next big thing’. Educated at the Royal College of Art in London, Kristian combines the technical knowledge of a skilled couturier with the charm of a screenwriter. Undecided between fairytale and horror, he explains: “For me every collection is like a film starring the heroines I dress; plots and stories change, but my muse remains the same, she is the protagonists who evolves and explores life.”

I met Amr, the cute designer behind BodyAmr, at Somerset House where he was exhibiting at LFW. I was so blown away with the vibrant colours and figure-hugging outfits. The display was especially eye-catching…I loved the contrasting simplicity of the concept against the luminous creations. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Amr Ali is a London based designer who studied at Chelsea College of Art and Design and Middlesex University, set up his own label in his final year at college and blew everyone away with all of his collections.

We’re in the middle of writing more pieces on the designers exhibiting at Somerset House and we will of course be giving you all a snapshot of designers that caught our eye. In the meantime, we received images for S/S 10 from BodyAmr so we thought we’d start off our one of many designer profiles from LFW with this label.

Here’s the S/S 2010 Collection we saw at Somerset House…

I was lucky enough to get a quick interview with Amr…
