About
The
Designer
Violise Lunn — Copenhagen
Violise Lunn was born in Copenhagen in 1969, and graduated as a fashion designer in 1995 from Denmark's Design School. She has run her own studio in Copenhagen since 1997, where she specialises in the design and making of one-of-a-kind pieces of clothing for women.
Evening wear, dresses, accessories, bridal wear and unique pieces of daily wear line the studio walls, as does a fantastic collection of stunning fabrics, brought home from her many travels around the world. The fabrics and the stories behind them are her main source of inspiration.
Violise Lunn does not focus on trends, but on refining and emphasising the uniqueness in every textile used, in every piece of clothing made, and in every woman who bears the clothes. The personal touch and a very high level of sophistication is her trademark.
Alongside couture, Violise Lunn's other passion is making unwearable objects from the simplest textile of all: paper. Sheer lightness and utter fragility combined with an experimental reflection on what these objects represent — they have instantly become collector's items.
