Design philosophy – arty chic
The design is characterised by a style best described as arty chic. The garments from Dagmar stand out with their unique combination of high quality, trendiness and sensuality. The collections unite glamour and tailoring with the finest materials. The feeling, the colours and the patterns are found primarily in the Art Deco period of the 20’s and 30’s. Motion pictures, architecture, art, music and dance inspire to the decadent touch. The feminine sensuality adds a fascinating mysticism to every Dagmar item. Many of the garments are handknitted or have added hand-made details. Safeguarding the craftsmanship and to make use of valued traditions from the past, are important parts of the creative process when developing the collections. The principal source of inspiration – and muse – is the sisters’ late grandmother by the name Dagmar. She was herself a tailor and inspired the sisters to develop their interest for fabrics and design at young age.
