Nina Gahrén Williamson
Nina is a conscientious designer who has a focus and ability in styling, image-making and design development. Born in Stockholm, Nina has broad knowledge and skills in art, design, fashion and makeup.
For her final major project ‘Subversive Sexy’, Nina has explored what it means to be a woman, whilst subverting the male gaze’s idea of “sexy” and how a woman should look or act. Through several perspectives and approaches, she investigated what makes us feel empowered, as well as making sure we are not pigeonholed. Questioning the taboo of female body hair and exploring different ways we can mark our body since clothing marks our body, Nina had a humorous approach when developing the digital prints and concept for her ‘Swimhair Collection'.
Currently working as a design intern at Jade Cropper, Nina has proficient skills in pattern cutting as well as using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
