TINA SONDERGAARD

A little bit about myself

 

I was born in Denmark, I got inspired in Paris by vintage fashion, and I have chosen to live in Rome. Monti is my creative space, and my fashion creations travel all over the world.

When I’m not working I love to read, relax and spend time with my two incredible twin daughters, and my lovely cat.

I prefer creating in my atelier rather than talking about myself, but plenty of magazines and websites do, so I’ll leave the words to them.

Tina Sondergaard for Handmade Retro Inspired Dresses Straight out of Roman Holiday

Tina Sondergaard’s dress shop was filled with classic 1950 styled dresses all handmade by the designer, who also runs the shop. Many of the dresses are one of a kind. I loved all the bold graphics and gorgeous patterns, but had such limited time that I just I couldn’t make up my mind on a daring design.

So I instead went with the sure thing– a black, very Audrey Hepburnesque dress that will never go out of style. Also of note: cute tunics in lustrous fabrics and handbags. I also adored the cute retro inspired handbags. Back home in Manhattan, my dress is perfect for strolling down Fifth Avenue.

Sublimely cut and whimsically retro-eque, Tina Sondergaard’s handmade threads for women are a hit with fashion cognoscenti, including Italian rockstar Carmen Consoli and the city’s theatre and TV crowd. 

Styles change by the week rather than the season, femininity is the leitmotif, and you can have adjustments made (included in the price). Everything is remarkably well priced considering the quality of the fabrics and workmanship.

From my city to yours: exploring Roman style in the Monti neighbourhood with fashion designer Tina Sondergaard

Italian customers can be a very tough crowd. They’ve usually had a seamstress in the family, and they have a real tailoring tradition. They know about fabrics, cut and length and they know what they’re talking about.

The younger generations tend to know a little bit less; they’re losing that tradition of made-to-measure. But then again, lots of young people are going back to it. Either way, I won’t let anyone out of the shop if I’m not happy with how they’re looking. The body has to wear the clothes, not the other way round.

Happy 50ths: clothes for a good mood

Very colorful, a bit ironic, cut from the 50s, sometimes a jacket in the 40s style, a bit 60s, a bit twiggy and vintage. I like this era because there are very nice cuts.

My style is a mix of bold colors and a simple cut. I love to find good fabrics because every fabric has a life. It is enough to interpret this. I buy all of the fabrics in Florence, everything is made in Italy. My style should be entertaining and fun. I want to make clothes for a good mood. [in German]

From Rome to Paris: The streets of haute couture between the latest generation of Capitoline ateliers and the magical atmospheres of the Ville Lumiere

First stop at Rione Monti, reachable by metro with line B, or on foot from Via Cavour, to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the 50s by Tina Sondergaard, in Via del Boschetto, 1. Also present in the Louis Vuitton City Guide, this small boutique-laboratory breaks the concepts of seasonality and collection to restore the pleasure of a made-to-measure suit.

It is Tina herself who chooses and buys exquisitely vintage fabrics and with them she creates sheath dresses, skirts and trousers according to the meters available. The sizes start from 42, but in reality, once worn, the garment is immediately modeled on the client’s body, tightening it, widening it, shortening it or lengthening it to give back a unique piece.
