Pictures of soldiers by the artist George Grosz and Otto Dix were the starting point for the 2010 autumn/winter collection: The mood of the collection is inspired by uniforms, military, masculine elegance, Roughness- femininity and interpreted in a modern manner. Classic uniform details such as pocket flaps and stitching become combined with fluent volumes. 

The material selection reflects the contrast of elements by combining shining tuxedo strips on washed wool or rough coat materials with noble brushed gold buttons, as well as Wool-Kashmir Jersey and washed wool for suits, pure virgin wool for coats, silk marocain and –chiffon for dresses.  

The colors span a variety of different khaki tones, over rich military brown to black, with consistent gold accents.  Brown and black, inspired by Inkblot tests, combined in graphic patterns.

For the first time, the collection is complemented with accessories, such as scarf and bags.
