NORDIC FASHION BIENNALE FEATURED DESIGNER: BARBARA i GONGINI

Barbara i Gongini is a Faroese brand based in Denmark. The label aims to create Nordic clothing based on a conceptual approach to the process, where experiments with forms provide the setting for the visual motive in the design. A graduate of the prestigious Denmarks Designskol, Barbara i Gongini‘s latest AW/2011-12 namesake Collection is dark and mysterious — dominated by free flowing silhouettes of wool, cotton, and leather in black and charcoal.

The Nordic Fashion Biennale runs through the 13th of November, and comes highly recommended by Blackbird, and by everyone we know who has visited the exhibition. For more information, visit their website, or just head over to the Nordic Heritage Museum in Ballard.
