As well as the beautiful clothes she also designs for the home and is inspired herself by the work of Carl and Karen Larsson and folkloric inspirations from all over the world.
Here she is with some of her models.
What a romantic hideaway!
Gudrun has been an inspiration to me for many years now.I look forward to opening her catalogue as soon at it come through the door and my family know that when the latest one comes I happily rush off to my favourite chair to feast on colour. I also look on her website ! Of all the great designers that I admire she is the most daring with her use of bright and stunning shades. She looks happy in her photgraphs and it shows that she loves what she creates.Here are some favourites from past and present collections.
This is from the collection inspired by Karin Larsson's textiles.
I love the snow scene and the folkloric outfit.
Embroidery is one of her strengths,gorgeous!
Exquisite work.
Inspired layering.
These clothes are not for throwing away each season they are for treasuring.
Gudrun uses models of all ages , shapes and sizes to show that we can all look colourful!
This is such a beautiful study.
The styles are romantic and easy to wear not like so much throw away fashion that seems to me to be a form of self torture, especially the shoes!!!! These are made for wandering in the woods,along the beach or dreaming round the fire. I love them,hope you like this look at Sweden's most colourfull designer and long may she delight us with her wonderful creations.

I agree that her colours are stunning - have you ever bought anything of hers. I have a soft spot myself for embroidery I definitely couldn't carry the style off though and almost certainly couldn't afford to. But it is nice to look and dream.
Yes I do have a few pieces,I bought them in her sales and they are very hard wearing and do not date. I am to small to wear some of the layering but one or two good pieces are fine. I do love the scandinavian use of colour,I suppose it is dark a lot of the year and they need to cheer themselves up!
I love Gudrun Sjoden and I love to use her images in my journals.
