London, United Kingdom
Hailing from Stockholm but currently based in London, I am a 2019 Master graduate from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp. My work centers around the combination of fun and glamour with important social issues - first and foremost the demolition of gender expectations within fashion, and a push t
owards a fully sustainable industry.
I have previously worked within menswear, womenswear, knitwear, accessories, jewellery and shoe design as well as manufacturing within most fields. Throughout my work life and studies I have focused on obtaining an as wide spectrum of qualities and abilities as possible in order to understand the fashion industry as a whole thoroughly.

Florentina Leitner, Raphaële Lenseigne, Shuting Qiu en Linus Leonardsson over de Modeacademie van Antwerpen en het bouwen aan je eigen brand.
London's emerging designers this season look to escapism, optimism and cultural heritages with an upcycled approach to design.
After a silent New York Fashion Week, shorter than ever and in which we have seen Ella Emhoff walking for Proenza Schouler, after signing with the prestigious model agency IMG, today London Fashion Week kicks off. The great appointment with emerging talent and the freshest and most transgressive prop
osals, as shown in its previous edition, held entirely in digital format which met the expectations. A calendar in which fashion shows alternate with proposals that combine music, art, theatre, and a myriad of creative disciplines that claim the cultural role of fashion, far beyond aesthetics and good taste. In short, a fashion week adapted to the new times that does not fear to talk about politics, social demands, and gender, among other issues.

For Linus Leonardsson, “there is no magic in turning trash into wearable trash.” To fill the void between sustainable fashion and luxury, the Swedish-born, London-based fashion designer believes in creating clothes “that are not only conceptually appealing but also beautiful.”
Senast vi pratade med Linus Leonardsson gick han på skogsrave, nu har han tagit sina queera kläder till Moskva och ett land som motarbetar allt som stavas HBTQIA.
Born in Stockholm but based in London, Designer Linus Leonardsson consummately strikes the balance between sustainability and glamour. Linus conveyed that his “fashion universe is centred around looking fabulous whilst not forgetting about the societal impact clothes and appearance have.”
Skogsrave, kastsystem och social utsatthet är parallella inspirationskällor till modeskaparens nya kollektion.

Scattered around the 19th-century monument Schelde Vrij in Antwerp, the top floor studio flats are permeated with harsh sunlight. This is where you will find the Fashion Department students of the Royal Academy of the Fine Arts working on their unapologetically experimental garments; designs that onl
y Antwerp’s slight geographical disconnection from the ‘real world of fashion’ would permit to dream up. They come from all over the world and create to disturb; for humans, aliens, and monsters. Meet Sensen Lii, Linus Leonardsson, Florentina Leitner, Quinten Mestdagh,Yentsé Yanze Jin, Fedor Diakonov, Izzy Du: the new generation of fashion designers from the Royal Academy of the Fine Arts, Antwerp.
