DESIGN & PRODUCT CONSULTING

–

I’m Nina Dornheim, a design consultant working with founder-led lingerie and loungewear brands.

At studio-842 I help small teams build products that are clear, wearable, and scalable. With a background in design leadership, technical design, and product development, I specialize in sustainable, size-inclusive collections that turn white-space opportunities into strong commercial products.

 

 

UPCYCLED VINTAGE COLLECTION

Romance in Modern Life

For this collection, we did’t start with a piece of fabric but with garments that we deconstructed. Most of our raw materials are vintage. The many months dedicated to make these delicate fabrics become a rare luxury in our fast paced lives.

The 2017 Collection is a collage of different decades with a strong influence of the Victorian era. Deconstructed tea dresses from the late 1800s become blouses with 1970s silhouettes, feminine 1920s and 1930s dresses are combined with oversized streetwear of the 1990s; draped mens shirts are mixed with reconstructed denim and vintage underwear. 

Delicate victorian laces are combined with raw edge denim; heavy leather with luxurious silk charmeuse and soft velvet.
