Louise Amstrup
Danish born Louise Amstrup spent part of her childhood living in Germany and later returned to Duesseldorf to complete her studies. In 2003 she graduated from Akadamie Modedesign, where she was
awarded the "Graduate Talent" prize. She now lives in London.
Louise has worked with various designers including Alexander Mcqueen, Jonathan Saunders and Alistair Carr. However, with the growing interest and demand for her work, Louise decided it was time to
take on a new challenge. She successfully launched her self- titled debut collection "Louise Amstrup" in 2006.
With an aim to dress women in contemporary and directional garments and promote individuality, Louise Amstrup creates a powerful, feminine collection with a soul to suit the female shape. Her
culturally mixed background is reflected in her designs: strict and constructed elements meets soft and surreal which creates a unique and eclectic aesthetic.
"I believe that my clothes rest in their own creative personality and radiate a natural soul- a piece of my imagination".Garments are exquisitely made from delicate silks and soft chiffons mixed
with exclusive wools , leather and cottons.
Louise Amstrup has consciously placed herself at the higher end of the market and realize that the survival of her business is based on thinking exclusive and worldwide, never forgetting her Danish
roots.
Louise Amstrups work was rewarded this year by receiving the Nordic Design Award "Ginen" and she was nominated for "new Design Talent" by DANSK awards in May 2009.
