Ante Bellum – Gold gab ich für Eisen

If your loved ones must risk their lives and limbs to fight in a war, you sacrifice what you can, in the hope that they will return home unscathed. It is this love that forms the basis of my work for the exhibition "Macabre Masterpieces" at Soderborg Castle.   When I was given the task of creating a piece of jewelry based on the German war concept "Gold gab ich für Eisen", it was obvious to dive into the history of my own family.

The high end secret: Show of the guilds

Once a year a number of the guilds of Denmark throw everything together in order to create a fashion show like no other: This has nothing to do with wholesale and only a little with “two seasons from now”. At this show some of the best tailors, hairdressers, hatters and jewellers showcase the prime of the crop. We are talking custom made haute coture and this year Castens partook for the very first time with the new Adorabella collection. This year the award winning movie director Susanne Bier took the stage and told about how clothing is very consciously used…
