Gynning design!

How beautiful is Carolina Gynnings work?

I like her designs, but fell in love with a special one... ''Looking for you''

 

When I saw this beautiful print I had an idea, I thought I could make some kind of garment of it. So I bought the ''looking for you'' bed set and started sewing... After sitting with this bed set and letting all the creativity flow, I managed to create a kimono! I love this piece, and I hope to do more! I left it for her to bring home when I met her, and I got these beautiful pictures of her wearing it!

Update...

Hi everyone ! I know, it's been a while since you heard from me last. But the truth is that I have been up to a lot, so I thought that I would share one or two things with you :)

Me, Malin & Tomas has done some photoshoots lately, Tomas is my most appreciated photographer, and he is the one who usually helps me out at photoshoots. Malin (not me) is my stunning muse and model, I call her my own existing barbie doll!
It is hard to find time to a photoshoot these days since Tomas is working away every other week, as well as Malin having to take care of her beautiful four children at home. BUT... we do find some time for creativity. 

Mostly we do shoots in Helsingborg, I just think it's a beautiful city with lots of amazing places and areas. This time we decided to use Vikingsbergsparken, Pålsjöbaden and the Henrik Larsson statue as shooting- location. I like capturing our photos outdoors and catching the movement in both fabric and body. It's always so fun and easy working with Tomas and Malin, we all know each other so well by now and we often have the same ideas. 

Here you have some 'behind the scenes' photos of both me and Malin :)

What a night!

I want to thank all of you who came to my opening, what a night! I did not expect that so many people would come and celebrate with me, & what a wonderful experience seeing you in the dresses that I created! 

I´m very glad to say that the event went amazing , I had a great time & I hope all of you who came had a great time as well. Both me and my daughter were busy handing out the goodiebags, since there were people at the door constantly. But, having people at your door constantly was not a bad thing... I got to meet & see many wonderful faces, both acquaintances and people I haven't met before.  

During the course of the event, I showed a lot of new fabrics that I can't wait to start working on. For instance my new favorite quality, chiffon with a polyester mixture. I'm completely in love with it! An absolutely fantastic feeling of exclusive, light, soft and flowy texture.  

Worth mentioning is that I was not the only one exhibiting my brand... so did Lisa Johansson & Ann Shergill! Lisa, a very good friend of mine, came up with this brilliant idea of delivering flowers at your door, instead of having you go out and buy them. Don't you think that is a clever thought? Imagine being invited over at someones house, and you don't have any time going out to get a gift to bring. Here is your solution:

As mentioned, Ann Shergill joined the event with her beautiful jewelry. She has for instance created bracelets for children who are getting baptized, as well as jewelry for the pregnant. Our own Swedish crown princess Victoria has actually worn one of her creations during her pregnancy! How awesome?

How it all started…

I´ve lived very close to my dad, actually in the same building, for 23 years. Me and my family in one part and my dad in one part of the house. So I´m sure you understand how close to eachother we´ve been.

The day my dad told me that he had cancer I´ll never forget. For me, he was superman, the strongest man in the world, he knew everything, he could create anything and he was so very intelligent. He, of all people just could never be sick.

A couple of years later  my mom got sick in cancer too. She had to go through the tough process of chemo and treatment. Both were suffering at the same time. As being by their side and not being able to do anything to make it go away makes you feel so helpless! My dad passed away last year, he lived with the cancer for 17 years, although they told him he only had 5 years left ( I now know that he really was superman).

Like most people I have friends and acquaintances that suffered or suffers in cancer.

Fatima, a dear friend of mine, had breastcancer, they removed her breast and she had to go through a year of tough treatment. She said to me;

- Malin, I´ll never be able to wear a light, flowy dress with thin shoulderstraps and open back again! I need a steady support for my breastprosthetic and there aren’t any dresses like that out there. Can´t you create one??

I thought to myself that I do know how to create dresses and maybe I could give it a try.

Fatima inspired me to start Malla Sweden Hope Project, to create a dress with those ingredients that she asked for: thin shoulderstraps, open back, steady support, a pocket for the prosthetic in a light and flowy luxurious silk, hand dyed in ombre from nude to pale pink.

I decided to create a limited edtition of the dresses! I received some fantastic volunteering help from the Nicolaischool Textile & design program and from outstanding  Yvonne Hansson (Yacht tillskärare), Lilian Olsson, Lotte Udén, Stina Nordström, Anchi Karlsson, Elisabet Forslund, Åse Kjell, Dejan Borko och Helene Stålkrantz. who came to my studio and worked so hard together to finish these 32 handmade dresses! Even my lovely daughter Ella and my husband Kent helped.

Special thanks to my dear friend, Fatima Mughal Rosell, for making this possible.
