mobanmarketSwedish fashion label A.Berg, helmed by Sara Lundberg, has been named
the winner of the Designers’ Nest prize at Copenhagen Fashion Week.
The talent contest, organised by trade show Revolver, aims to expose and
promote up-and-coming Scandinavian designers to global buyers, media and
trendsetters who visit the biannual fashion event. Each season a new
designer is crowned the winner and they take home a cash prize of 50,000
Danish kroner.
Lundberg, who graduated from the Swedish Schools of Textiles, impressed
the judging panel that included London-based designer Peter Jensen, with
her strong fashion statement ‘Omg(s)’ collection, which showcased all-over
sequinned gowns and emoji-like faces.
The competition, which saw 24 students from eight schools in the Nordic
countries competing for the prize, also awarded Louise Wanggren from
The Swedish School of Textiles and Irina Benetyte Stange Jensen from The
Royal Danish Academy of Arts in Copenhagen second and third prizes,
respectively.
