Skeleton Legs

Rickard Lindqvist for Spring/Summer ‘08.

Originally trained as a men’s tailor Rickard Lindqvist graduated with a BA in Fashion Design from the Swedish School of Textile in June 2005. During and after his studies, he has worked for various companies such Vivienne Westwood, Nudie Jeans, Whipping Floyd and Filippa K. He has also dressed artists such as Håkan Hellström, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, Whyte Seeds and Broder Daniel. In 2004 he was rewarded the Sisley award at the Mittelmoda fashion award in Gorizia, Italy. His work has been show and exhibited in Paris, Tokyo, Berlin Copenhagen and Stockholm.

Rickard’s design is very much driven by intricate pattern construction but with the roots in classic tailoring. He combines the avante-garde with the classic in a way, which challenges the way we perceive our bodies and clothing.
