Ostwald Helgason: The Dynamic Duo

January 25, 2010 |  by

I love bold prints and patterns so it’s no wonder I was instantly attracted to Ostwald Helgason’s work. Their garments fuse color, print and ready to wear ability with an almost 3d effect. German designer Susanne Ostwald and Icelandic designer Ingvar Helgason of Ostwald Helgason work met when both were working for a London design studio. Ostwald handles the color and print while Helgason focuses on the silhouettes. Since it’s launch in 2006 Ostwald Helgason can now be foundĀ  in Denmark, France, Hong Kong, Iceland, Japan, Netherlands, UK and US in shops such as Opening Ceremony, Kokon To Zai and Bauhaus, and on the backs of such stars as Rihanna and Daphne Guinness.
