Stockholm designer Beata Rydbacken grew the snap clip to the largest size a 3D printer would allow. What happens when a hair clip gets as big as your forearm. It started as a joke. A friend printed her an oversized clip, and she used it to fasten a jacket that had no zipper yet. That is how the Big Clip Hoodie was born, a grey hoodie closed with three pastel clips, and lately a star-shaped Big Star Clip has followed.
Next target was the belt. On the 8th, Rosalía turned up in a tulle skirt with a belt studded in fist-sized silver pyramids. Down to the beanie and the scarf woven from hair, the Shairf, accessories that were once supporting players swell in her hands to absurd sizes and take the lead. She has always been obsessed with scale, she says, and calls herself a spokesperson for the small, forgotten details.
