“Bahnsen’s clothes need to be treasured and worn, not just treasured.”

Bahnsen’s collections are inspired by the super-modern look of the 1920s world exhibitions in Paris and their illusionary creation of the future, combined with references to the 1990s and how she used to dress as a teenager. Bahnsen works with soft layering of materials and a strong focus on techniques and fabric combinations. The main techniques of the collection are graphic prints, shiny bomber jackets, and complex folded structures and pleats.
