Helena Christensen x Gudrun & Gudrun: Handcrafted Knits, Reimagined
Helena Christensen brings a personal, tactile sensibility to her new collaboration with Gudrun & Gudrun—a capsule collection of handcrafted knits rooted in tradition and quiet sensuality.
Comprising seven hand-knit pieces, the collection focuses on soft structure and open textures, drawing on vintage lingerie references. The palette moves through pale pink, sun-washed peach, warm yellow, and earthy green—subtle tones that emphasize seasonality and restraint over statement.
Craft remains central. Produced using simplified knitting techniques that highlight texture, select pieces are handmade by artisans in Peru, adding a personal dimension to the project. For Christensen, whose mother is Peruvian, the collaboration carries a sense of continuity as much as design.
The partnership also revisits a longstanding connection. Christensen helped popularize the brand decades ago, and here returns not only as collaborator but as image-maker. She photographed the campaign herself, with Louise Follain as its subject, capturing the collection against stark, wind-swept landscapes that echo its raw, natural ethos.
Priced between $450 and $835, the collection is available now online and at select retailers. More than a capsule, it reads as a study in craft—where technique, memory, and material converge with understated clarity.
