Hans Christian Andersen Project – designed by Le Fix
First chapter in a collection based on HC Andersen's visual work; his personal photo albums, travel books and sketches.
After launching the collection exclusively in Dover Street Market London, Singapore and Tokyo, we are proud to share the project where it all started.
We have created a small, very exclusive collection, inspired by the above image material, which we believe gives a new insight into HC Andersen's history and sheds light on aspects of his person that are not so commonly known. HC Andersen is primarily known as a storyteller in the fairy tale genre children's literature. But beneath the surface is revealed a universe with incredible depth that speaks of the general human – joy, sorrow, humor and tragedy. It's a world we think we know, but it surprises and moves on closer inspection.
The clothes are finished in Denmark and are printed, embroidered and applied locally, so we could participate in the analog processes that give a personal artistic expression and make each product unique.
Please have access to HC Andersen's original visual work in the archives at HC Andersen Hus in Odense; his private picture books, travel diaries, sketches and collages, which have formed the basis of the collection.
