"I recently got married and we got rings made by the jewelry designer Hannah Martin from London. My ring is in red gold covered in black rhodium, and it has pointy rubies on the inside that nobody else can see."













happymanga_lovisa.jpg4. Super happy Manga.
"I've been very dark, kind of Antony & the Johnsons, for my past autumn/winter collection. So, right now I am jumping straight into color. I printed in black from the inside, or in fluorescents. The fluo-colors are a great punch in the stomach or a Fuck You in that combination. I am all into Manga style now, it feels like it's the only kind of underground that is left and not sucked up by a Hedi Slimane-type thing."










rocknroll1_lovisaburfitt.jpg5. Rock and Fucking roll.
"I combine prints from lyrics that I've stolen, like 'Fuck Forever' from Pete Doherty and 'Why Can't I Be You' from The Cure. For me it's an homage to them."

"Then we have the masks, accessories and hats that I hand-make for collaborations with stylists such as Patti Wilson and [Vogue Paris editor] Carine Roitfeld. People change character when they wear a mask."
