PRESSRELEASE
Stockholm 10th June 2011Post Fire Dews spring/summer collection for 2012 is launched in collaboration with Helene Billgren. Helene has designed a print which is represented in several of the collection’s garments.
Helene Billgren says:
“The pattern is a map or a game, to travel cross country and stop, maybe at a barbecue. There are trees with and without needles, pine cones with strength and smoke rings for those who can not do without. By the path a troubadour who plays, perhaps for you. For me it’s a favor to sit in the same boat as a clothing line Post Fire Dew”.
Helene’s print will be used for a total of seven products, both as a lining in jackets, print on a scarf and T-shirts, and embroidery on a sweater.
Per Holknekt, creative director at Post Fire Dew says:
“Helene’s art illustrates to me that sprawling beauty in many brains… The caution mechanisms in us usually censors our expressions and Helene just speaks her brain without giving a damn. I was so happy when a such great and beautiful artist as Helene Billgren wanted to cooperate with us. It is a true honor to be working with an artist who so beautifully represents the fearlessness that Post Fire Dew so much celebrates”.
Spring/summer 2012 collection’s theme is “Coming to Town” and express masculinity in uncomplicated design that simply looks great in an attractive way, unconsciously. Classic, timeless and beautiful qualities. Many of the qualities are organic and recycled from earlier material. Colors of the season is particularly diverse marine tones and natural colors of white, gray and sand. Contrasting colors of red and bright blue makes the details of the collection.
