Congratulations to the winner of the MUUSE x VOGUE Talents - Young Vision Award 2013:
Lina Michal from Sweden, graduated from Beckmans College of Design in 2013, wins with her collection ‘Heathen Hearts’. Lina is inspired by her own Swedish heritage, and describes her collection for this year’s MUUSE x VOGUE Talents as “organic volumes, reminders of our primitive urge to decorate ourselves”.
Lina Michal was congratulated this morning by the MUUSE team and says;
“I feel like a marathon runner who just crossed the finish line. I’ve got the heartbeat of a hummingbird! And I’ll be writing all my emails with CAPITAL LETTERS today!”
and continues:
“It’s a surreal feeling, when I entered my collection in the competition, I never thought I’d go this far. The best part about the whole thing has been the unbelievable support that has been pouring in during the competition from friends and complete strangers. The win is really the cherry on top!”
