Illustrator J. Damgaard named new face of Depeche

A new Post "Illustrator J. Damgaard named new face of Depeche" was written on the January 12, 2012 at 10:29 pm on "Textile Global - Textile and Fashion News".

The critically acclaimed illustrator J. Damgaard will be

the new face for DEPECHE's Spring 2012 collection. This is the first
time DEPECHE chooses to launch a collection with a face and, in
addition to beautiful photos, the collaboration has also resulted in a
virtual reality comic. In connection with the launch of its Spring
2012 collection at the CIFF fashion fair at Bella Center, Depeche is
collaborating with 24-year-old illustrator Julie Damgaard, whose
artist name is J. Damgaard. The collaboration is the first of its kind
for DEPECHE and, in addition to beautiful photos, has also resulted in
a virtual reality comic.

DEPECHE and J. Damgaard, both from the city of Horsens, Denmark, have
found a common ground in rough and fine Nordic expression, and
uncompromising craftsmanship: "For many years I refused to use
models to show my bags and belts, but I saw more than just a pretty
face in Julie – I saw a person who possesses the same perfectionism
and passion for quality and details that I am driven by, which makes
her a perfect representative for the brand," explains CEO and owner
of DEPECHE, Janni Hørdum.

"And in Julie's pictures I saw the same very Nordic expression and
the same combination of rough and feminine simplicity that
characterises DEPECHE," says Janni Hørdum.

Therefore, the two women entered into an innovative collaboration.
From 2012, J. Damgaard will illustrate a reality comic for DEPECHE
based on the actual diaries of three women. The comics will be
launched at the CIFF fashion fair at Bella Center and will then live
on at DEPECHE's Facebook page.

"DEPECHE is a dynamic and innovative company and Janni is a woman
who, like me, dares to pursue her ideas and trust her intuition. This
makes it a fun and exciting challenge for me to contribute my face and
my craft to the DEPECHE brand," says illustrator Julie Damgaard.
