DESIGNER NAMES: Maki Aminaka Löfvander and Marcus Wilmont.

SIGNATURES: “Sensual, flowing and innovative silhouettes embracing soft, voluminous draping of effortless complexity and avant-garde tailoring.”

TRADEMARK PIECES: “Experimental drape dresses in abstract prints and asymmetric distressed leather jackets.”

IDEAL CLIENT: “Self-confident, serene and sensual, with an appreciation of creativity and pure unconventional beauty.”

THE COLLECTION: “Theory of the multiverse, dimensional layering vs. convergence and artist, Kevin Francis Gray.”

CULTURAL INFLUENCES: “As creatives we aim to produce work that stirs an emotion or reaction in the recipients who view or experience our process, or indeed the final product. Our work is in turn a natural expression of what creative mediums we have been influenced by and have reacted to during the season - such as the music and art we have been surrounded by. To us this is an essential and inseparable dynamic without which we would not be able to produce work with integrity.”

PLANS FOR 2013: “Expansion into targeted markets, new cross-field collaborations and hopefully finally launching AW 'Untitled'.”
