Rikke Eliasen wanted to create a dress that was both modern and had a bit of edge, while at the same time paying tribute to some of the classic patterns from the history of knitting. It resulted in this tight-fitting slipover dress, with a classic aran pattern on the front,
turtleneck, tailoring, and a very high slit on both sides. It reminds Rikke Eliasen of Gry Jexen, who, as a modern female historian, has plenty of edge, while also putting a deserved spotlight on women’s place in history.
