In 2004 the Swedish designer; Sandra Backlund graduated from Beckman's college of design and soon found her own label that same year, she is now a well know fashion designer. Known for her sculptural and architectural clothing Backlund aims to exaggerate the female form and works with heavy wool, paper and hair to change proportions and dimensions of the female body.
When producing her work, Sandra Backlund designs her clothing as she knits, this method produces a more streamline finish to the garment and helps her mix her futuristic designs with more familiar materials such as paper and wool. Her work as an artists is driven by the experimentation of change the appearance, shape and form of the natural silhouette of the female body using simply the clothes we wear, and also from her personal and business experiences. I think that using your work to change the appearance of something is an appealing idea and inspiration for future work, also using your experiences you've gained from the environment around you to then use as inspiration to help change it is almost like giving something back.
