The eventual effects of global warming take the center stage for designer Göran Sundberg’s latest collection. The collection titled “Drenched” is accompanied by the tag line “suiting for a future rainstorm region.” Sundberg’s collection is inspired by science’s perception of the changing climate. Greenhouse gas emissions are at work altering the amount of rain worldwide. While Africa has began to dry up, “far north regions, including Canada, northern Europe and Russia, will get wetter…” In preparation, Sundberg has created an innovative collection with the focus being on slick weather resistant outerwear. Taking his inspiration to literal levels, a highlight of the collection is Sundberg’s work to recreate raindrops as subtley featured on one of his blazers. Rain or shine, Sundberg’s pieces are a welcomed addition to the world of fashion.
