You could call Diana Orving the Swedish Stella McCartney - but that wouldn't be totally fair, Diana Orving most certainly has her own strong way of expression.
For spring 2009 she stays true to her signature: foldings, croppings and fluid silhouettes in black and muted colors. It's feminine without being girly, I guess you could call it grown-up fashion. And considering it is created by a 23 year old self-taught designer, it's absolutely amazing. Don't you think?
About Diana Orving
The focus of Diana Orving's collections is a desire to explore and try to understand the importance of the garments and apparel power from a personal as well as from a broader cultural perspective. She finds her inspiration in people, their movements and stories, in how each one makes use of clothing to show how they want to be perceived by their surroundings.
