When the Switzerland synchronized skating team, Eislau FSC Burgdorf, contacted us about doing their 'Cool Dreams' Labyrinth dress, we were eager to be apart of designing a a look to properly represent the theme.

For the coach, Liina Lundman, it was important the dress have a distinctive look, using the color and feel of nature as inspiration for the design. Liina is from Finland, and an accomplished skater herself. This is her first year coaching the team, therefore, the performance had to be memorable.
