"For this collection, I was inspired by framing the female body, working on the principles of iterations - starting from the strict lines of the rib to a messier, almost disturbed line caused by the body".
Based on the idea of having pieces almost placed on the body with no remarkable change, letting the textile speak for itself, and conversely having pieces that change completely on the body. For this season, we have worked with volume growing from the lines of the rib in defined areas, moving and draping on its own, with a focus on the spaces in between.
A. ROEGE HOVE is a conceptual knitwear brand that challenges traditions with a modern and artistic approach to original craftsmanship. A. ROEGE HOVE aims for silhouettes to be both effortless and exaggerated, with an exceptional and unique result.
With a master’s degree in textile design from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and years of experience as a knitwear designer for brands including Cecilie Bahnsen and Mark Tan, founder Amalie Røge Hove started A. ROEGE HOVE in 2019—bringing her own vision of knitwear to life, which has been evolving and developing ever since.
Defined by an experimenting and intuitive way of working with traditional knitwear techniques, the brand challenges our perception of shape and pushes our expectations of the materials and their behaviour. Containing only accessories, the very first collection was a study of small-scale sculpturalism. Later these studies were expanded on a larger scale into the first collection of ready-to-wear, bringing the concepts from bag to body.
In 2021 A. ROEGE HOVE won The Wessel & Vett Prize, Scandinavia’s most prestigious and independent award for fashion design. Since then, the brand has presented four innovative collections during Copenhagen Fashion Week, reviewed by Vogue Runway and supported & featured in Vogue UK, Vogue France, Vogue USA, New York Times, Dazed, Business of Fashion, AnOther Magazine and Vogue Business amongst others.
In 2023 A. ROEGE HOVE was awarded the Karl Lagerfield Award for Innovation at the 2023 International Woolmark Prize – one of the oldest and most respected global awards for emerging talents.
