Born and raised in Denmark, but lived in Vancouver, Canada from 2006-2012. Ane Katrine Elander, holder of a PBA in sustainable fashion from Copenhagen school of Design and Business, and a Masters degree in Fashion design from Design school Kolding. Due to educational background and personal beliefs, a focus on ethics are usually included in the work; often through an exploration of new ways of looking at sustainability. 

This includes; durability, multifunctionality and use of existing ressources. Latest, was the MA-collection where Duck down was used as sustainable ressource, in order to bring focus on consumer tendencies, and the fact that the issues of sustainable consumption is rather complex and deserves a nuanced focus. By Ane Katrine Elander

The main inspiration for the MA-collection ‘non-linear, is the combination of space age and future, like seen in the movie by Stanley Kubrick, 2001: A space odyssey. Lines and shapes are used to put emphasis on volume.

The collection has its roots in sportswear, there has moreover been a focus on puffy jackets which is heavily inspired by the 90’s hip hop culture.
