Gudrun Gudrun

From the remote Faroe Islands, a far-flung archipelago nestled between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, comes a happy example of how the world is shrinking in its space-time coordinates. Despite the limitations resulting from forced coastal isolation, Gudrun Gudrun has managed to reach the global market by offering knitwear made from rustic, local wool that is rich in suggestions and traditional, local influences.

But the surprise and novelty brought by this young Danish brand lie in its ability to interrupt the monotonous language of folklore with visionary and dreamlike shapes—likely reinterpretations of intense natural atmospheres, or even gusts of wind captured within the stillness of a garment. Also significant is the ability to bring out, from the thick layer of yarn, a femininity that is anything but repressed and folk-like; rather, it is pleased to finally find itself wrapped in a garment with undeniable thermal and aesthetic properties.
