News - NORWEGIAN RAIN

		WHITE HOMME - MILANO 02. August 2010 \| 20th-22nd June NORWEGIAN RAIN exhibited at White Homme Basement. A fashion trade fair in Milan. SENSORY PERCEPTIONS BASED ON GROWTH Norwegian Rain's stand at the White Show in Milan evolved during the 3 day period of the fair. Down in the basement, T-MICHAEL (bespoke tailor/designer) and Alexander Helle (creative director) decided to create a space that reflected their thoughts and ideas. A space that they hoped would have a pleasant effect on the visitors. Pulling them out of the stressful buying process and transporting them into a realm based on dreams and reality. A space that meant that the duo would enjoy the time in the basement rather than being stuck down there. Photos by Matteo Cherubino Pictures here
