Esseay Research, Emma Lundgren

Swedish Textile design Emma Lundgren creates the most creative, unusual fashion textiles. Her work uses techniques ranged from knitting, stitching, cutting fabrics and printing. Its incredibly bold and often confusing. She uses the laser cutter a lot to define edges of fabrics and then embroiders then back onto surfaces. This ends up with what some would call a ‘brightly colour jumbled up mess’. Underneath it all its based on Scandinavian folklore dresses, which were traditionally heavy embroidered with patterns. Her work can be used for all kinds of things. She makes jewellery, headwear, scarves, tights, as well as fashion garments.
