Following an internationally praised grad-collection, Swedish designer Lina Michal is now releasing her first ready-to-wear collection from New York.

Upon winning the Vogue Talents Young Vision Award 2013, as well as making the finals of the H&M Awards 2014 with her grad-collection, Lina Michal garnered a great amount of positive attention. Unexpectedly she found herself feeling artistically trapped in the billowing silk volumes that people seemed to love.
