Q&A

SHOWstudio: How would you define contemporary fashion?
Felder Felder : Contemporary fashion embraces a modern feel that is elegant and exciting at the same time. Trashiness seems dated and quality seems to be a key word, which elevates even new designers onto another level. The contemporary designs are exciting but not ridiculous, they are beautiful but not pretty and they are wearable but not commercial.

Who or what inspires / informs you?
There is a huge variety of inspiration and information. art books, libraries, old photo albums, car boot sales and flea markets are all favourites. Then again you might run into a peculiar dressed old lady which just got it so right... or so wrong that it's fantastic again. Looking at shows, shoots and exhibition for being up to date.

How would you descrine your aesthetic?
We always aim to create a look for a strong woman who isn't afraid to show her feminine side as well. As twin sisters we know all too well about contrasts that compliment each other or in fact need each other to make the whole thing work and this is reflected in our designs by mixing contrasting elements in the designs
