The actress in me is enchanted and just blown away by the dramatic art direction of these photos of the Spring/Summer 2012 collection by Norwegian Jumina design. I imagine these little girls are in some Shakespearean play. And the clothes themselves are just exquisite – love the rich textures and gorgeous details. These artistic and unique garments for children and adults use natural materials and organic fair trade cotton. The designer behind the brand, Elisabeth Grønning Rognmo, gets her inspiration from her 3 children and Norwegian fairy tales. All the clothing and accessories are designed and handmade by Elisabeth and she only makes a few copies of each garment, so each piece is unique.
Jumina Design is based in the environmentally friendly gallery and workshop, Gallery Straw. The gallery is built of straw bales from local farmers which are treated with a mixture of clay and sand. The house has very good indoor air quality as the walls “breathe”, and the straw works as great insulation. See pictures below. Even the place these clothes are made in is a fairytale!
