BERTO FOR Kjøre PROJECT

Do you remember the exact moment when you decided to become a fashion designer?
I have no idea, I don’t define myself as a fashion designer, rather an economics graduate with a keen eye for design.

For us, environmental sustainability is important; it's a value we identify with: we use only natural or otherwise sustainable materials.

What was your first project?
My first project was a footwear line created back in university with some friends.

The creative process: do you work instinctively or plan every single step? Where do your ideas come from?
Let’s say the creative work is very much of a compulsive nature; ideas come and you can’t stop them, then everything must be supported by careful management, but not too much.

What did you think when you were contacted by Berto?
We came into contact with Berto in December 2015 when we were looking for fabrics different from those we used at the time: we wanted something more refined, classy, and above all, of quality.

Which Berto fabrics have you worked with for your project and collections?
We have a wide variety of Berto materials in our catalog, of all types and models: mostly we have used Kyoto, Aspen, Barbados, and Red Silk.

What do you consider the most significant aspect of Berto for Talents? What goals have you been able to achieve thanks to this program?
Together with Berto, we managed to win the Global Denim Awards in Amsterdam: in our daily operations, our small company is constantly supported by the Berto team, to whom we are very grateful.

“Less but butter” can be read as the approval of a certain degree of purity in design but also in fashion design. It can also be understood as an environmental message about reduction and sustainability. What do you think?
For us, environmental sustainability is important; it’s a value we identify with: we use only natural or otherwise sustainable materials derived from natural processes, like our New Zealand leathers.

Is there something you’ve never done that you would like to achieve?
Everything still.. 🙂
