I am a Swedish fashion designer. After developing my design aesthetic in Florence, Stockholm and London the brand that carries my name first came into fruition in New York in 2015. I have since moved cross-country and now live in Portland, Oregon.

I strive to make dreamy high-end womenswear, trying to always find that elusive sweet spot between poetic and nasty, melancholic and fun, classic luxury and modern aesthetics.

I never want to stagnate, or allow myself a cemented view on what I do and who I am. I think it is important to evolve, that way you are forever young.

Email me with any questions you may have. Besides the online store I also love making you custom pieces. I regularly make stage wear for artists and one-off wedding dresses.

The Collection Collection

“I wanted to make a collection that manifests the idea of how humanity
collects, categorizes and catalogs.”

From coin collections to vast museum storage rooms; Lina Michal explored the gathering of things, in particular how we class and describe them. We carefully separate objects from each other and pair them in the same ‘family’ as we make our individual categorizations for them. Next we catalogue them and put them on display in such a sterile way; the pinned up butterfly in the frame collecting dust. It is there so that we can now point to it and say: see, this is a butterfly.

“I think this behavior comes naturally to us, the collecting and presenting of things is a tangible way for us to make sense of the world around us. It makes us feel like at least there are some things we know for certain.”

Frames and pins.
Cross sections.
Flat, geometric, controlled.
Sterile.
Colorful.
