Mads Dinesen

Mads Dinesen is a Danish Fashion Designer living and working in Berlin. Dinesen’s designs combine an in depth working knowledge of impeccable tailoring and a passionate approach to fine workmanship. The models he carefully selects from the street induce the movement of the fabric of the contemporary human condition and its physical presence permeates through the layers of each costume to its essential materiality. Dinesen evokes a raw and primal energy in the spectacular presentation of his collections but remains determinedly brut and current in relation to the environmental and socio-political nature of the world around us. His consistent interest in spirituality and his intensive research into tribal and nomadic culture impacts the physical world in which one exists when wearing Dinesen’s work. His pieces are haunting and beautiful, grotesque yet bold. They are as compelling as they are taboo. He seeks to dismantle our preconceived notions about sexuality and physical beauty. Through his imagery, we gain a greater understanding about human difference and tolerance.
