By Malene Birger’s New Collection: A Blend of Minimalism and Maximalism
Emilie Martinsen-Kønigsfeldt recently unveiled the latest collection for By Malene Birger, showcasing a unique blend of minimalism and maximalism. During a Zoom presentation, she explained her vision of creating a bridge between the brand’s legacy of minimalism and the founder’s love for decorative maximalism. This new direction is evident in the collection, with pieces that exude a sense of understated luxury and quiet celebration.
One of the standout pieces from the collection is the knits adorned with tear-drop crystal embroidery that transforms into sparkling fringe at the hem. These pieces perfectly encapsulate the balance between simplicity and opulence that Martinsen-Kønigsfeldt is aiming for. The use of subtle transparencies in organza or knit adds a touch of sensuality to the collection.
The color palette for this season includes sand-colored washed denim, smart ivory shorts suits cinched with knit sashes, and aubergine and mint green accents. A highlight of the collection is a spongy, cozy cardigan and miniskirt knit set that combines both colors in a harmonious way.
Other key pieces in the collection include a slip dress paired with a sweeping cape for added drama, and pointelle knits featuring a meandering pattern inspired by an old logo. The overall aesthetic is one of effortless elegance and sophistication, with a modern twist.
By Malene Birger’s latest collection is a testament to Emilie Martinsen-Kønigsfeldt’s ability to blend contrasting elements seamlessly. The result is a collection that strikes the perfect balance between minimalism and maximalism, offering a fresh take on the brand’s signature style.
