Ruffled Black Dresses

Helena Horstedt Panache Dazzles

Helena Hörstedt is a Swedish design label that proves there's a lot more to be explored in the world of black dresses.

The label was created by Hörstedt after she graduated from the Beckmans School of Design in Stockholm just four short years ago. Horstedt obviously loves the details, classic tailoring, and structure. Choosing black emphasizes the visual experience and provides interesting shadows and contrast. Many (every) designer tackles the black dress, Horstedt believes there is nothing basic about it.
