MORTEN USSING AW19 – 
PER ASPERA AD ASTRA

Danish designer Morten Ussing presented his AW19 collection PER ASPERA AD ASTRA at Copenhagen Fashion Week.

After his super feminine flowery collection from last season, the designer continues empowering women with his Scandinavian minimalistic approach.

This season however, the collection is much more dramatic and glittery. taking inspiration from the rise of the universe and dying supernova stars, which Morten Ussing brought to life with his galactic  prints. Ussing’s preception of the phenomena is romantic and dreamy, which he expressed through starry glitter, bold bright oranges and heavenly blue.

Silhouettes were classic and fitted. Stand out pieces were a long blue fitted velvet dress embellished with little shiny silver beads and a long gown in chiffon with long voluminous sleeves styled with an eye catching headpiece, gleaming like stars in the night sky.

Jewellery in the collection curtsey of Danish Jewellery designer, NINNA YORK.
