Opposites Attract

“The inspiration for AW12 comes from two opposites: the north and the south. I was captivated the breathtaking photography of Ragnar ´RAX´ Axelsson and his beautiful movie Last Days of the Arctic where he shares his unique vision of the rough wilderness of the north” says Helga Olafsdottir the owner and designer behind Ígló. “His black & white photographs from remote places in Iceland and Greenland are astonishing. The inspired me to experiment with different shades of grey in the fabrics as well as animal prints made with pencil strokes. On the other hand there is the one and only Miguel Paredes. I was captivated by the vibrant colors of his work and the energy and expression flowing from it. The main colors of the collection are red, navy, pink and purple from Paredes´s drawings mixed with various shades of grey from the north.”
