KLING: THE LAND OF DREAMS A/W 08-9
by Jamie E17

This is Swedish designer Karolina Kling's third collection. The concept built upon different characters taken from her own daydreams, who were each given a name: Walkin' Stranger, the Bubu's, Rave Friend, Fuck Ye!, Say What?, Structure, Sad Face, BatCat and the Wood Creatures.

Around these characters, the prints and patterns developed and given life through the shapes and forms of the garments. This collection is a place between dreams and reality.

Since starting in 2006, KLING has already established her brand as a unisex streetwear label with oversized garments, big shapes and all over pattern prints. This collection is still focused on pattern, but is moving away from the street to a more complex structure and a broader mix of products.
