Sandra Backlund is a truly unique breed and brand with an approach to fashion 'more like a sculptor than a tailor.' From one season to the next, her avant-garde designs are distinguished from each other the same way an art installation might be, through titles such as "last breath bruises" and "diamond cut diamond" opposing the traditional "spring,fall,summer,winter" titles proceeded by year number.
Even the silhouette is couture, intended as she constantly bases her work on shaping the body through design rather than pattern. “You don’t have to take things apart. You can improvise without having to deconstruct."
With the warm mixtures of sci-fi, fantastical dreamscapes, and your favorite childhood blanket throughout her collections, Sanra Backlund is more than another designer on the catwalk, but a pioneer in the world of knit sculpture.
