THE DESIGNER: The Norwegian designer Karina Kjenner Titze (27) graduated from Esmond -Ecole Supérleure des Arts et Techniques de la Mode. At the Esmond diploma show Titze managed to get noticed as a student when she impressed everyone with eleven gorgeous outfits instead of the required three. She received "Gullnålen" (the gold needle) for all the effort she put in her work as a student. As soon as three days later she arranged her first fashion show outside the school. Today Titze owns her own showroom in Oslo, Norway where you are welcome to buy Undorn designs. It is also possible to create your own design, made by measurements and in fabrics of your personal choice.
In an interview with her in an issue of tekstilforum (nr.8, 2005) she said this about her first year in the Norwegian fashion industry: "the last year has been hard work 24/7. In addition to design projects I've had to take other jobs to make ends meet. I sell lottery tickets over the phone two nights a week while I sew. Work is everything to me. No matter where I go or who I meet, I'm a designer." Fortunately things have changed for Titze and she now has about five good coworkers who help her make things work.
STYLE: "Undorn is the thought behind all the clothes I design. It can be interpreted in many different ways, but as development, change and that one has different needs at different times." says Titze about her designs. All her designs are fantasticly glamorous and are made from soft, clear silk fabrics.
SPRING COLLECTION: Her latest collection was all about beautiful gowns, refined surroundings and glamor. The dresses looked romantic and seductive and one of the models was wearing a ridiculously expensive diamond necklace and earrings from Mont Blanc. Gorgeous pieces for formal events and more relaxed occasions.
