A Conversation on Sustainable Fashion and Timeless Design
At the East and Earth Festival, the audience was invited into a rare and thoughtful conversation on fashion, sustainability, and aesthetics.

The panel featured fashion designer Eline Dragesund, alongside Aftur Nerdrum, composer Martin Romberg, and Shervin Najafpour. Together, they explored the values behind the newly launched Kitsch collection — a vision rooted in craft, longevity, and artistic integrity.

Eline Dragesund, the Nerdrum family’s personal tailor, shared her deep commitment to classical menswear, inspired by ancient Greece and the Kitsch philosophy. She designs with natural materials, rejecting modern trends in favor of timeless silhouettes and slow, intentional design.
