ABOUT
Wackerhaus was founded in 2003 by the young designer Trine Wackerhausen, and the brand has since its debut on to the Danish fashion scene become a favorite with the style press and fashion conscious follower.
“To me fashion is art but it is also important that my designs are wearable and practical... of course with a strong dash of refined and feminine elegance”, says Wackerhausen about her designs.
The Wackerhaus look combines a sharp tailored silhouette with lightweight materials and carefully placed ruffles and this fascination of contrasts is an ongoing theme in every Wackerhaus collection. Each season this is shown with great creativity and quirky details.
Despite complementary materials and a versatile approach to silhuette, Wackerhaus succeeds in delivering a clean cut and cohesive look, which on one hand expresses a certain masculinity and on the other a fragile and feminine side of contemporary women's fashion.
When asked to describe her signature style, Wackerhaus explains that her designs are not meant to be seasonal, but classic statements to be used across seasons. Her use of a dark and subtle color palette fits perfectly with the idea of a timeless, modest and flawless style, and is at the same time a lovely canvas for colorful excesses.
“My work is a delicate balance of playful extravaganza, soft femininity and strict simplicity. I strive towards making clothes that are both luxurious and comfortable”, says Wackerhausen.
The result pleasing both the precise and classic minimalist as well as those into a more gentle feminine allure.
