Gorgeous Encounter: STINE RIIS

I like exaggerated and striking fashions, but I also love high wear fashions. I prefer those with the above two conditions. The balance should be the most essential elements in creation. The flashy works often find it difficult to find a friend. But too ordinary works can only be called ready-made clothes. This time, London College of Fashion graduate Stine Riis shares her fashion idea and makes a knot for my LCF series.

Stine not only wants to express her own aesthetic through her works, she also wishes to remind consumers that dressing is not just a lining, but a heavy attitude towards life.

I like the diversity of fashion, the combination of people from different backgrounds, those different ideas and aspirations, and those unremitting attitudes that encourage me to keep moving forward. I still have a lot to learn. I have only finished the first dishes in my life.

How do you describe your style?

To cope with busy life, functionality and comfort are my first considerations, such as flat shoes, jeans and shirts.

My coat is the easiest way to highlight my style. I usually wear the same coat every day in the whole season. It's like my good friend. I think my coat is the most representative thing in the wardrobe.

My way of dressing comes from my father. His entire wardrobe contains all kinds of coats. I was fascinated by the way I was young. He had many coats with different occasions, and each coat had a dark bag design, which kept the memories. This is why my series surround the coat and the big coat.

What qualifications do you think you need to be a successful designer?

I admire those designers who are able to balance their creative ideas and the business sense they need to run the company, and every successful designer is a very good team.

Who is your favorite designer? Does he inspire you when you design?

Hedi Slimane and Raf Simons are all my favorites. They both inspire me and keep me loyal to their ideas. Because of the brevity and functionality of men's clothing, I often look for inspiration in men's wear. And Dries Van Noten's amazing series every season has great inspiration.

Can you share your series? Which one is the most iconic? Which one is your favorite?

As a Danish, my aesthetic began with the traditional furniture design of Denmark. I have been fascinated by the different joints, different combinations of materials and beautiful simple lines in making Danish furniture.

I try to apply these beautiful features to my design. I hope to highlight the process of making clothes with some folded and undecorated edges on the clothes, to express my opinion on today's fast production and clothing consumption. I want to encourage consumers to buy changes that can be worn for more than one season of clothing while enjoying their clothes.

In the series, I like the beige wool big coat, which combines simple lines and rough edges, and then adds chiffon and lacquer to foil the theme. It is a very good clothes to wear.
