Kristina Torsson

The exhibition highlights Torsson's lifelong driving force: creating clothing for women, men, and children in high-quality materials that require minimal maintenance and last for years. Bringing beauty to many by designing simple and functional garments in bold colors and patterns always working on a small scale and sustainably with constant care for the Swedish textile industry.
