Joshua Osborne and Elgar Johnson take you behind the scenes on our Astrid Andersen shoot for The Mean Girls issue of Wonderland Magazine
Astrid Andersen is turning Japanese. Okay, so she only spent a week in Tokyo, but it had such a strong impact on her (“my favourite place in the entire world”), that she cites it as the main influence for her brilliant, lacey SS14 collection. Why? Well, partly because it’s so uptight. “People there hold a lot of views similar to those in Scandinavian culture – they have an almost anal appreciation of a simple, minimal aesthetic,” says Andersen. “Tokyo has two very opposite sides to it. There’s that very minimal approach, but there are these insane neon lights and dressed-up kids too. When I’m designing, I always try to find something in between the two.”
