Sandra Backlund scuptures wool






Today i would like to share with you these incredible pieces of knitwear created by the Swedish designer Sandra Backlund.We're far beyond the usual sweater,her work is better defined as scupture.When asked Backlund says that she’s "really fascinated by all the ways you can highlight, distort and transform the natural silhouette of the body with clothes and accessories.“
Her work is simply incredible if you think at time and precision needed to design these pieces of knitwear.Wool is like mud molded by the creative genious of Backlund and the knitting tecnique evolves in something we have never seen before.I find some of her creations have an organic appereance.Since 2007 Backlund have worked for Louis Vuitton and other big brands.
Even if her work is something that can't be reproduced we can anyway take some ispirations,little details we can bring in our everyday fashion.I'm talking about the satin ribbon weaved in between the wool that gives a more elegant look to a normal sweater.We can add it to a sweater we already own using a wool needle(those with rounded end and big eye) like maison Dior did with one of his knitwear. What do you think of the result?


Let's finish with a quote for inspiring Sandra Backlund about fashion as a form of art:
"In my opinion, clothes are the most democratic form of art. Something everyone can relate to, consciously, or unconsciously"


Oggi vorrei condividere con voi questi incredibili lavori a maglia della designer svedese Sandra Backlund.Dimenticatevi i soliti maglioni,il lavoro della Backlund è meglio definibile come scultura.Quando glielo chiedono lei risponde che è molto affascinata dai modi in cui si può esaltare,distocere e trasformare la silouette del corpo con vestiti e accessori.
Le sue collezioni sono semplicemente incredibili se pensate al tempo e alla precisione necessaria per progettare un capo. La lana è come creta modellata dal genio creativo della Backlund e la tecnica della maglia evolve in qualcosa di mai visto fino ad ora. Dal 2007 la Backlund ha lavorato per Louis Vuitton e altre case di moda importanti.
Anche se il suo lavoro non può essere riprodotto con gli strumenti a nostra disposizione possiamo comunque trarre ispirazione,piccoli dettagli che possiamo portare nella vita di tutti i giorni.Sto parlando del nastro di raso intrecciato nella trama della maglia
che può regalare un aspetto più elegante al solito maglione.Possiamo intrecciarlo noi stesse utilizzando un ago da lana (quelli senza punta e la cruna grossa) come ha fatto Dior con alcuni dei suoi maglioni sfilati in passerella. Che ne pensate del risultato?

Concludiamo con le parole di Sandra Backlund sul rapporto tra arte e moda: I vestiti sono la forma più democratica di arte.Qualcosa con cui tutti entrano in relazione,consciamente o incosciamente.
