[1]Meet the Kling characters to the left.  They are the characters that Karolina Kling were daydreaming about and using her graphic designer background, she has taken those characters and let them run wild (in a controlled way of course...) in her AW08-9 collection, the third by her label Kling by Kling [2]. 

By basing the patterns on these characters and having the patterns transplanted onto clothes which both cocoon and billow out from the wearer, Karolina Kling is trying to 'förstärka' (Kling is from Gothenberg, Sweden and now lives in London), meaning to amplify/heighten the feeling of being in a dream when things like a pattern can feel warped or overwhelming.

I'm rather up for a voluminous patterned cocoon to wear with nothing but a vest underneath and some mighty-tighty black latex leggings (will be doing an investigation on the best ones out there in a few weeks time...) and some high-tops (yes, I have returned to my trainers roots and will be hunting for some new ones).  I don't flinch from doing the 180 from florals to cartoon graphic patterns.... that's quite worrying...
