“When I saw the movie Apocalypto in 2006, for the first time, it woke something in me. The fantastic universe contained a brutality and straightforwardness which, combined with the beauty and greatness, drew me to it – and the desire to recreate and combine the contrast filled elements, with my own style and esthetics has grown ever since. The film itself is not present in the final outfits – but it has led me to my own inspiration. I took the elements from the movie, and found my own pictures, to express the same tension and contrasts. My collection focuses on the neck, as a symbol of the proud tribal element and my outfits move on the edge between the elegant/luxurious and the brutal/androgynous and the tension it creates gives strength to the collection in a contrast filled universe.” – said Camilla.
