Birgitta Helmersson is a designer and pattern-maker based in Malmö, Sweden. She runs a studio/store with partner, in life and love, Sam Grose, where they develop and manufacture 2 labels in-house – self titled label 'Birgitta Helmersson', garments made exclusively using zero waste pattern cutting, and 'Helgrose', unisex clothing made using vintage and naturally dyed textiles. Both labels embody a zero waste ethos, with all scraps and remnants from Helgrose production being re-purposed into other items.
