In collaboration with Norwegian photographic artist Ole Brodersen, we have created a series in which old sails are sewn onto our signature red Fisherman sweater.

The sailcloth lives on through the body and, over time, will fray and transform in character. Ten unique sweaters have been produced.

We have known Ole Brodersen for many years. He lives on the island of Lyngør, where his family has resided for twelve generations. With a background in seafaring and sailing, he allows the sea, wind, and tides to shape his works. Working with analogue techniques, he creates large darkroom prints in which the forces of nature have a direct impact. The result is images that balance between documentation and poetry.

Ole Brodersen has selected and cut old sails, which we have mounted along the lower edge of the Fisherman sweater. The edge has been left raw, allowing the sailcloth to fray and evolve over time.

The image shows a fragment of a red, frayed sail exposed to the forces of wind and weather. Ole Brodersen’s works often take their point of departure in nature’s forces, where wear and tear become ornament, evoking memories of life at sea.

Our Fisherman sweater is built to last. The patch is designed to perish faster than the sweater itself, while telling the story of the garment’s true element.

This is the first time we place a piece of woven fabric on top of our knitwear.

The knit is meant to stand on its own. Here, the woven fabric serves as a reminder: of this project, and of the passage of time.
