Not only is the designer herself a beautiful woman, her clothes are also adorable and feminine with clear influences of art and her globe-trotting lifestyle! Using versatile fabrics such as silk and lace, she manages to create beautiful clothes which effortlessly grace the female body.

With past collections focusing on bringing 50s and 60s trends into the modern day, Malene Birger has always paid great attention to detail and style. With their beautiful long 70s-esque maxis and timeless trilbys, it’s easy to see why it’s a catwalk favourite.

As well as focusing on updating past trends, Malene Birger is also always at the forefront of fashion and this season is no exception.
