KC Haute Couture light as the wind.
Karlsson Concept is influenced by Musashi's "The Book of Wind – Kaze no Maki" in which Musashi discusses rival strategies of other schools of thought.
Know your enemy. "Place yourself in a position which is advantageous to the tools you have to use. For shorter weapons, find confined spaces, for bigger weapons find larger spaces."
Karlsson Concept works with to highlight the best features of the body in bold and extravagant new ways.
2. Stances are not of primary importance. Initiative is of primary importance. Everyone has the potential to be beautiful. The key is to wear the right fashion to highlight the best features. Don't hide them flaunt them.
3. Always walk the way you do naturally. To do otherwise stops your thinking process. It is because of this that other school’s thinking on footwork is disadvantageous in many situations. Karlsson Concept works with nature and with the setting. By keeping a natural stance you and your body are at their best - even in an industrial world.
4. Speed is not what should be focused on. A master does not concentrate on executing with extreme speed. What a master does seems to be done with ease and without any loss of timing. Anything performed by someone who has experience does not look busy. Haste makes waste. Karlsson Concept are often recruited to work on one-of-a-kind fashion that artfully works with the clients body and specific measurements. They design fashion for the specific occasion that the client wishes.
5. When teaching, focus on teaching that which can be rapidly and most easily learned first. Gradually go to deeper more subtle meanings in the teachings as time progresses. Kalervo Karlsson immediate teaches his client to love the body and to realize the bodies personal beauty. As his clients embrace their beauty - it often leads to healthier behavior that eventually allows them to fortify their resolve to meet goals they may have set for themselves.
6. There are no secret stances. Kalervo Karlsson supports Niina's desire to create clothes from fabric that feel natural. They tap into well known techniques of the ages.
The Bias technique was invented by Madeleine Vionnet in the 30ties and John Galliano brought the technique back to fashion. While it is a difficult technique. It is hard to control fabric as it is cut diagonally across the fabric. Kalervo Karlsson explains: "It makes the fabric fall and flow really beautifully around the wearer's body. It also gives an effect of tallness and slenderness.
Kalervo Karlsson explains that the material becomes the second skin. If feels light and free like the Wind.
