Something we will always cherish and have a special place for in stoy is independent designers. They put their heart and soul into the craft they choose to pursue, and that is something worth celebrating! One person who continuous to leave us speechless with her amazing dresses is Bettina Bakdal. She constructs floating silk pieces of wonder, out of vintage designer scarves that are unlike anything you've ever seen.

Last year we had the pleasure of talking to her about her journey as an independant designer, what her design process is like and what inspires her in her life. These are a few excerpts of what she had to say: "It is important for me to dare to push boundaries, and I am quite conscious of when a composition is harmonious, but I also love disharmony." "As a designer, you are at work 24 hours a day. It's a lifestyle. I've never been on a vacation without going in search of materials. never. and I love it." "I still have this weakness for things that used to belong to others. I'm in love with the hidden narrative, and the person behind it." Bettina Bakdal has an infectious optimistic outlook on life and her craft. There is a genuine love for making beautiful art that tells a story. Her dresses are more than a beautiful piece of clothing, they carry the spirit of where they were found, and who they used to belong to. Whether it was found in Paris, Florence or Aarhus, the silk scarves are all given new life, and an intertwining narrative, in Bakdal's design studio in Copenhagen. We celebrate this inspiring woman in her journey onwards, and we recommend you do the same.
