concept

Cecilie looked at how dolls are often feminine and pompous while sports, on the contrary are masculine and functional. The aesthetics and values of these two themes are in deep contrast and form the basis for the development of a number of design techniques and visual expressions with which Cecilie experimented in her collection: details, techniques and accessories from these two distant worlds come together in creating an atmosphere that can handle harmony, contrast and complexity.
