Gudrun & Gudrun 2012 Fall/Winter Lookbook

Gudrun & Gudrun is a label hailing from the Faroe Islands — 18 islands scattered between Norway and Iceland — and specializing in ethically sourced and artisanally handcrafted knitwear. Inspired by landscapes in “the Faroese winter morning sky,” Gudrun & Gudrun’s Fall/Winter 2012 lookbook offers a stark, distinctly Scandinavian take on knitted garments — a dark, misty palette of grey, black and white colors on drapey, modern silhouettes. As for the collection itself, a myriad of oversized cardigans and sweaters take center stage in the collection, every piece boasting skillful handiwork of the artisan and offering a modern spin on traditionally-based garments. Run by two Faroese women, expect these pieces — bred in silence and isolation from the fashion world — to continue innovating in the realm of knitwear. The Gudrun & Gudrun 2012 fall/winter collection is available now from the label’s online store.
