Ivan Svanberg
Ivan combines colourful print and knit designs with Zero-Waste pattern cutting to create contemporary luxury menswear. He comes from a small village, Höganäs, in Southern Sweden and studied fashion design in London at Ravensbourne University 2019-2021. He is currently based in London, UK, and in Sweden.
Ivan's graduate collection is about looking at the colourful and playful world of old MMORPG and fantasy videogames through the lens of his childhood nostalgia. He has made knits and silk prints based on childhood drawings of weapons that he drew when he was 7 years old. Zero-Waste pattern cutting is something Ivan is passionate about and has been studying and practicing for 2 years now. He also wrote his dissertation on the subject and it has become the focal pillar of sustainability in his making process.
