From a Schiaparelli lobster pareo to a Guy Bourdin-esque Bottega Veneta moment, Marysia Eriksson photographs Stockholm-based model and writer Hanna Juzon, as styled by her husband Pontus Björkman. Below, Juzon pens her thoughts on a surrealistic take on Scandi summer styling
Inspired by the immortal Guy Bourdin – the artist, fashion photographer and creative provocateur – we set the scene in a dimly lit, lush garden nestled along the edge of a national reserve. An unorthodox backdrop for high-summer style, yet perfectly reflective of the quiet melancholy that lingers in a Swedish summer. The Bourdin reference is no coincidence: our intention was to create sharply styled, cinematic images that spotlight my staple accessories in an exaggerated, editorial light.
Since moving to Stockholm four years ago, I’ve found myself drawn to pieces that are louder, bolder and just a touch more vivid. Scandinavian minimalism is meeting its equal and opposite reaction: a wave of experimental, oversized, and delightfully unexpected street style that pulses through the city’s younger neighbourhoods.
With a mix of old and new pieces, I’ve found my essentials – items that keep me ready, on the go, while also helping me stage a character: a slightly exaggerated version of myself.

Inspired by Guy Bourdin’s iconic, surrealist-tinged shoe campaigns, we set out to spotlight the sparkly, chunky, undeniably sexy Bottega Veneta pumps. With their classic Mary Jane silhouette, they feel timeless, while the silvery intrecciato brings an ultra-modern edge – making them, quite simply, joyful. They passed the ultimate test too: a full day and night out, blister-free and beaming.
I’ve found myself reaching for playful accessories that make me feel, quite frankly, young and fun.

To experience bigger feelings, consider trading your quiet luxury bag for a bold statement piece – one that demands attention rather than deflects it. Lately, I’ve found myself reaching for playful accessories that make me feel, quite frankly, young and fun. This white, studded, embellished bag is impossible to ignore. She’s fierce, flashy, perfect. Acne Studios has redefined its approach to handbags, striking a sweet spot between cool, hyper-luxurious, and refreshingly original. Capturing the hot-and-cold nature of a Swedish summer, Maria’s Hasselblad caught it all in a single frame. I paired the look with a vintage Cartier ring, crowned with a majestic amethyst cabochon and flanked by baguette diamonds set vertically into a thick gold band.

We reached out to an impressive haute couture collector Adam Leja, who loaned us a selection of rare scarves – or rather, dresses, skirts, tops, headpieces… metres of precious silk in disguise. The versatility of the shawl is no longer understated, and I’m here for it. As fashion rental continues to rise, discovering people and places dedicated to craftsmanship and the stories behind these rare pieces feels truly priceless.
We shot – well, rented – an ultra-fine silk Schiaparelli pareo, styled as a dress to highlight the iconic lobster motif painted by Salvador Dalí. Originally introduced by Elsa Schiaparelli in 1937, the Lobster Dress remains one of fashion’s most enduring collaborations, continuously reimagined with fresh energy. The black-and-white Lanvin scarf, worn as a top, is already earmarked as my go-to beach look for spring/summer '25. We styled it with oversized Givenchy earrings for an extra hit of drama. (I’ve always been drawn to jewellery that carries a bit of weight.)

There’s no summer without a favourite pair of sunnies. Admittedly, I’m about seven years late to the micro-glasses trend, but these ultra-small Ray-Ban Chromance shades landed in my sight and haven’t left since. I paired them with a vintage jersey Vivienne Westwood dress that’s been in my wardrobe since high school. The sharp lines of the metal frames contrast beautifully with the soft folds and volume of the heavy jersey. In the spirit of radical honesty, I’m wearing no makeup. I plan to carry myself exactly this way all summer – it feels a little lighter.

Finally, inspired by my ultra-cool girlfriend Jasmin – whose style is impeccable and who has perfected the art of coordinated sets (yes ladies, let’s copy one another with pride) – I flicked through my entire wardrobe to find anything that matches. There are so many decisions to be made in a day. Outfits? Relatively insignificant in the grand scheme of things. So to minimise time and maximise impact, I’ll definitely be tapping into this strategy all summer long.
