Tuesday evening the designer duo behind Norwegian Rain, Alexander Helle and T-Michael, received the 'Nåløyet (eye of the needle) designer of the year award' in Norway for their sartorial take on extreme hi-tech rainwear, classic with a touch of avant garde.
“We are immensely proud of being appreciated by the Norwegian fashion industry,” the pleased duo commented to the press.
“Norwegian Rain won because they stood out from the other nominees. Their technical and functional level is very high, the concept is unique, strong, and very pure. They are such worthy winners,” says Gisle Mardal, head of jury and director of Norwegian Fashion Institute.
