The Trine Lindegaard Fall/Winter 2013 collection catalog is a modern take on a handcrafted aesthetic. From threaded textile prints to dramatically draped layers, this collection entitled "Happiness" highlights the embroidery details of Fine Cell Work. Fine Cell Work is a social enterprise that specializes in training prisoners in the creative needlework arts.
Encouraging positivity and productivity, this business is aiming to change the way that prisons are run in the UK and encourages their inhabitants to spend their cell time doing embroidery which allows them to feel a sense of accomplishment while helping to keep them calm and centered. While this company also produces cushions, bags, pictures and patchwork quilts, its draped garments take center stage in the Trine Lindegaard Fall/Winter 2013 collection catalog.
