Repurposing Stage Costumes into Couture

The couture collection is developed through a collaboration between The Royal Swedish Opera, designer Louise Xin, Textile Fashion Center, and students of The Department of Design at the Swedish School of Textiles.

During the show in the Opera House on the 7th of September, the pieces were sold together with other hand-picked costumes from The Royal Swedish Opera's archive. All proceeds went to the Young Opera Fund (Unga Operan-fonden), which contributes to the opera's work for children.

Participating design students:
Carolina Jerhov, 2023 graduate, MA Textile Design
Miriam Scheller, 2023 graduate, MA Fashion Design
Luiza Bachofer, graduating student 2024, BA Fashion Design
