After Bea's showroom, we walk a few blocks through Stockholm city center to go up to Richard Lindqvist's atelier/showroom. And his collection is amazing, his technique in cutting is amazing, an almost engineering aproach to it. He explains to Diane his collection, how it evolved, his influences etc... Ilisten in and absorb the information like a sponge

He tells us about a swedish author called August Strindberg (1849-1912 ) that inspired him, and the tailoring in his collection does have a touch of early 20th century in it. So I ask him, what it is about an author, that could inspire a mens collection, surely it is something more than just his words

So Richard gets on the net to show me some pictures of August

And yeah, this guy has this almost evil look, and Rickard's latest collection was actually shot in Augusts last house he lived in , it is now a museum . Mark my words, Rickard has an amazing and unique talent , and you will see more of him, maybe not so soon, but you will. He also did a stint working with Viviene Westwood in London
