OBSCUR Sweden by Richard Söderberg

Swedish designer Richard Söderberg speaked to Dazed & Confused about small-town fashion and the crude materials used in his new collection. The S/S 2011 collection from Obscur is inspired by misty landscapes, the roughness of nature and enveloping clouds, where the garments were constructed out of washed lamb leather. Using crude materials combined with varying pieces both in length and volume, their detailing lies in zippers and pockets whilst raw edges are paired with qualitative materials, subtle linings, comfortable knits and rich textures. Dazed speak to founder Richard Söderberg about his new collection and the appeal of Swedish fashion. [+info]
