As we wave goodbye to another Stockholm Fashion Week, we round up our five key takeaways from this year's display of Swedish design talent
Stockholm Fashion Week has wrapped and, once again, it helped spotlight some of the best design talent emerging from Sweden. From Gulbo’s provocative, latex-heavy opening, rich with cheeky religious motifs, to Leoní’s closing display of unwavering minimalism, the schedule showcased the full sartorial spectrum of the local scene, culminating in an eclectic, "you-had-to-be-there" finale at Soho House. Below, we dive into Vogue Scandinavia’s five essential takeaways from the week.
A-DSGN's influential debut
It is rare for an influencer brand to smoothly translate its (often commercial) aesthetic to the runway. But this season, Alice Stenlöf had her finger on the sartorial pulse, presenting a show that rightfully earned its spot on the schedule. That said, it wasn't your typical catwalk showcasing an upcoming collection, but rather an immersive exploration of the brand itself.
Lead designer Saveja Awzel, Stenlöf and their team took the opportunity to immerse guests in A-DSGN's vision of modern womanhood: Structured corsetry was paired with gently oversized silhouettes, overly feminine pieces saw graphic cut-outs to add a little edge, and denim was washed in unusual ombré hues, the soft transition almost imperceptible. In short, it was wearable, yet remarkably relevant to Sweden's current fashion scene.
