A small town boy from Boho, Norway, Frank Tjærandsen never thought his conceptual clothing will go viral and be recognized by celebrities and influencer all around the world.
Hell, even his high-school celeb-crush Lindsay Lohan commented on his Instagram! Surreal as it gets, his work deserves all the recognition it's getting.
Bagging the L'oreal Professionnel Young Talent Award 2019 at 24, Frank is raging on the support and love he's receiving and has pledged to stop at nothing. Read about his journey and story here:
A fascination for balloons or bubbles (his nickname for his dresses) since his childhood, Frank wanted to re-create the misty fogginess for the ramp. Speaking to a leading magazine, he admitted, " The inflated bubbles are about being able to wear an unclear memory. When the bubble emerges onto the catwalk, it’s the dream. The deflation of the bubble visualises the moment when we realise we have a consciousness.”
Gaining more than 30k followers overnight, the young talent admits that this creation is merely a frm of self-experimentation. "I’ve tested all the bubbles on myself for health and safety reasons,” he says. “There’s been three occasions when I’ve been inside and it’s burst, which is like a very big balloon popping.”
Rewearable with caution, the dress can be deflated and inflated to be reworn as a bubble or dress, however the model wishes.
As ambigouos as his ideas and designs, Frank concluded by sayin, "Maybe the moment of deflation could be interpreted as a moment of clarity."
