Below 2: Flett Bertram. The collection was inspired by jewellry pieces and vanitas paintings - and while one could have feared a cliché, Flett Bertram really managed to make a beautiful collection.

Karen Ascanius

Inspired by Gossip Girl artist Richard Phillips my talented and creative friend Karen Ascanius has made a little collection of paintings which are strong &  über cool. Who doesn't want one of those hanging on ones wall? Can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Dennis Lyngsø Is One To Watch

Dennis Lyngsø: 25 years old and a design student at TEKO. Have always thought of him as terribly stylish, cool and talented - with a touch of Victor & Rolf. As the only male contestant he won the Triumph Inspiration Award and is now going to represent Denmark in the international finale in London.

The theme of Triump Inspiration Award was "Shape Sensation" challenging the designers in using shapes which are flattering towards the female body. Above: Dennis Lyngsø and Eva Kruse from Danish Fashion Institute
