For five years, Swedish fashion chain Lindex has collaborated with Swedish fashion school Borås School of Textiles, and the retailer is the main sponsor of the school's graduation fashion show.

Lindex is committed to supporting emerging designers and chooses one graduate student who it thinks has the best collection. The student receives a grant worth SEK 50,000, and this year's winner is Evelin Kägo and her collection 'Color perception'. "It feels fantastic to win Lindex grant for best design idea. Key for my collection is the relationship between knitted and printed textile layers in garments as well as the exploration of how colors influence each other," says winner Evelin Kägo.

Kägo will now collaborate with Lindex this autumn on a "Tomorrow" collection, the third Tomorrow collection launched by Lindex to support new designers.

“We are impressed with Evelin’s work in experimenting to achieve special effects with colour and movement. We are really looking forward to creating an exciting collection together with her,” says Annika Hedin, Head of Design at Lindex. The jury’s motivation for Kägo's win is: "A collection that is visually energetic and voluminous with a delightful balance between solid and transparent surfaces. The look is experimental, artistic and colourful."
