With Fabrique since 2023 9works Central Saint Martins graduate; Chloe Design Award winner. Former Acne Studios senior womenswear designer and Elizabeth & James creative director, now leading House of Dagmar with expertise in merging opposing aesthetics.

Inspiration

Started with a perfect accident in a Bangkok flower market. When Bernhoft accidentally hit his camera shutter, the resulting blurred floral image became the entire collection's print foundation. That mistake led him to experiment with cutting techniques, creating intentional textural deviations that produce unexpected shapes and draping.

Background

Central Saint Martins graduate; Chloe Design Award winner. Former Acne Studios senior womenswear designer and Elizabeth & James creative director, now leading House of Dagmar with expertise in merging opposing aesthetics.

Hampus Bernhoft's 15-year journey through fashion's upper echelons reads like a carefully curated playlist of industry hits. The Central Saint Martins master's graduate in womenswear fashion design has held significant positions across multiple renowned fashion houses—senior womenswear designer at Acne Studios, design director at Elizabeth and James, creative director and design head at Schnayderman's, and currently design director at House of Dagmar. His trophy case tells an equally impressive story: the Chloe Design Award, Puma Scholarship Award, Arts and Humanities Council Award, and Lancôme Color Award. These aren't just accolades; they're proof of a designer who consistently delivers.

What sets Bernhoft apart is his mastery of fusion—specifically, his ability to make opposing ideas coexist harmoniously. He deliberately injects feminine elements into masculine details while maintaining an obsession with fabric textures and silhouettes that drives his design core. His approach to each collection is uniquely reactive to his surroundings, striking a calculated balance between reverse thinking and flowing with natural momentum. He maintains an open attitude toward new concepts, deliberately leaving space for unexpected discoveries. For Bernhoft, transforming creativity into ideas that reflect his personality—whether through abstract coincidences, intentional mistakes, or the thrill of problem-solving—defines truly unique design.

His collaboration with Fabrique perfectly embodies this philosophy of productive accidents. Walking through a Bangkok flower market, Bernhoft accidentally pressed his camera shutter, creating a blurred floral landscape that became the entire collection's print foundation. This mistake inspired him to explore unconventional cutting methods, deliberately creating textural deviations that produce fresh shapes and unexpected draping effects. The result demonstrates his core belief that the most compelling designs emerge from embracing the unplanned—and frankly, we're convinced.
