A RARE FIND The result of a collaboration between House of Amber and Danish jewellery designer Mai Manniche, these earrings ofer a refreshing alternative to the yellow and orange hues typically associated with amber, featuring a striking mix of rare green and brown coloured stones. Formed from the resin of trees hardening over millions of year, amber often features inclusions of air bubbles that give the stones a cloudy appearance. It can also include insects and plants preserved in the substance, which makes certain pieces extremely valuable. Transparent amber is also Save up to 19% by shopping tax free, see page 116

prized for its rarity, making the quality of the amber in this collection notable for its clarity as well as for its colour. Green amber is found in the tropical regions of South America and is typically between three and four million years old. Set into rose gold-plated sterling silver, the warm tones of gold and rich brown perfectly complement the spectacular green stones. gl House of Amber Divine earrings, SEK 3,375, House of Amber, Birger Jarlsgatan 22, 114 34 Stockholm, +46 (0)8 663 8869, houseofamber.com * for map go to page 102

A Prada catwalk show is never just about the clothes, and the spring/summer 2015 event was no exception. It was about the set (lilac-coloured sand dunes), the soundtrack (courtesy of Frédéric Sanchez) and even the canapés (squares of chocolate on a piece of dry bread). And, because nothing is ever incidental with Miuccia Prada, these elements combined to produce a subtle alchemy. Brocade took centre stage, albeit slightly the worse for wear, as with each look the clothes seemed to be gently unravelling. There were 30 brocades in the collection, all faithfully reproduced from antique textiles exclusively for Prada. From fraying silks to patchwork panels, the clothing looked as if it had survived a tragedy and then been lovingly restored. This was an ode to craftsmanship and to the role of fashion in preserving such skills. th Prada, Birger Jarlsgatan 11, 111 45 Stockholm, +46 (0)8 660 5700, prada.com * for map go to page 104

Sweden’s perfume labels make the most of the country’s rich natural produce and minimalist aesthetic to produce enticingly fresh fragrances. By Katy Young It may not be the frst country to come to mind when thinking of fne fragrance, but Sweden has produced a clutch of luxury labels which are attracting international attention and acclaim. Specialising in fresh fragrances, often made with natural ingredients, these companies often provide alternatives to the denser formulations created elsewhere in Europe. Orifame was set up 47 years ago in a small, two-room ofce in Stockholm. Brothers Robert and Jonas af Jochnick launched the label hoping

to bring Sweden’s clean-living lifestyle and fresh natural scents to the rest of the world. Named after the medieval royal banner of France, the label now ofers 216 fragrances for men and women, has an annual turnover of €1.5 billion and is sold in 60 countries. In addition to its concept store in Stockholm, the company employs a team of three million door-to-door sales staf. The reason for this approach, according to Magnus Brännström, CEO and president of Orifame, was because

consumers in the 1960s often felt more at ease trying and selecting a product at home, rather than approaching often very beautiful women who worked in beauty stores. Another factor behind the company’s success is the high calibre of the people on board. Two of the world’s greatest modern perfumers are behind the company’s scents – Jean Jacques and Francis Kurkdjian – who also create fragrances for other international names including Elie Saab, Burberry and Givenchy. Today, Orifame’s perfumes include seductive blends using notes such as black rose, amber, jasmine and patchouli as well as fresh scents featuring green basil, vanilla orchid and orange blossom. Byredo is another leading Swedish perfumer: established in 2006, its product range is manufactured entirely in Sweden. The label’s founder Ben Gorham spent the majority of his formative years in Canada but now lives in Stockholm, and his fragrances are thoroughly Swedish. ‘The spirit and the look of Byredo refect the Scandinavian design 118 /

aesthetic – a love for pared-down minimalism,’ he explains. ‘Our fragrances are not cluttered and you can smell the ingredients clearly, which is important for me. One’s surroundings are important in the creative process – a perfume maker is always infuenced by the environment.’ ‘The Swedish enjoy great structure and form and I do agree that my particular aesthetic prefers considered simplicity,’ says Gorham. ‘I like the notes to have space and for the fragrance concepts to be communicated clearly. Less is defnitely more when it comes to great ingredients.’ Gorham has recently started using more Swedish ingredients in Byredo’s fragrances, such as wild Angelica and lingonberry. The 1996 scent, inspired by a photograph of a young girl taken by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, features notes of icy juniper berries, along with leather and black amber in a typically minimalist mix.

work and focus on detail is very Swedish,’ says Niclas Lydeen. ‘The human aspect and our sustainable approach is also something that comes from our Swedish heritage. The feeling and tone of the brand comes from the poetic beauty of Sweden’s nature and culture: the shifting seasons, the cold, dark winters and the beautiful light in the summer, the poems of Karin Boye, the images of Ingmar Bergman and so on.’ The result is a range flled with evocative sounding scents such as Arctic Jade, Isis and Vanilla Marble. From Byredo’s light forals to Orifame’s exotic spice and Agonist’s handmade blends, Swedish brands are ensuring the country makes its mark on the international fragrance market. ‘The world of fne fragrances has opened up in the last few years,’ explains Gorham. ‘Countries that have not had the same historical and cultural relationship with fragrance that France and Italy have had are getting involved and bringing a new spirit to the industry.’ orifame.com, byredo.com, agonistparfums.com Above (clockwise from lef): Byredo founder and creative director Ben Gorham; the brand’s Black Safron eau de parfum uses notes of juniper berries; angelica and lingonberry are used in the Flowerhead eau de parfum; Agonist workshop; the brand’s No 10 White Oud unisex fragrance; the brand’s founders Christine and Niclas Lydeen

PURE AND SIMPLE Swedish women always seem to be one step ahead of the crowd when it comes to style. Casually pairing dresses with trainers is on point and wardrobes are minimalist and functional, stripped of unnecessary fuss in favour of high-quality, multifunctional investment pieces. Refecting this trend, and taking pride of place in many Scandinavian wardrobes, is Stylein, a luxury Swedish label from designer Elin Alemdar. 120 /

127

Alemdar has been working in the fashion industry since 2001 and has seen how the international style community has increasingly embraced Swedish aesthetics during this time. ‘I started doing Paris Fashion Week trade shows and I saw a huge amount of interest from the Asian countries eight years ago,’ explains Alemdar. ‘Now the Swedish trend is peaking worldwide, not only in fashion but also in lifestyle. Why that is the case is really Lef: Stylein spring/summer 2015

hard to answer because when you’re in your own bubble, you don’t really have perspective. Success has borne new success and having brands such as Acne putting the spotlight on Swedish fashion helps a lot.’ Stylein is clearly one of the labels beneftting from the Scandinavian style explosion but, unlike directional fashion giants Acne, Stylein focuses on pared-back, refned silhouettes with edge. ‘Sometimes simplicity is the best, but it’s also the hardest to design. People might think it’s easy to design simple styles but, in fact, the opposite is true,’ says Alemdar. It’s this commitment to streamlined style that has seen Stylein become a leading label for classic wardrobe staples, something that fts perfectly with the Swedish predilection for ecofriendly living and environmental concerns. ‘The long-term investment in buying a piece that you can adapt for diferent situations is a reaction against mass consumption, fast trends and throwaway fashion,’ Alemdar continues.

‘Stylein has always been focused on the thought that an item of clothing is a precious thing and that you should be able to wear it for a long time, in many diferent ways. That’s why we love simple designs: you can add your accessories, your make-up or even just your personality, to complete the outft.’ Even with a staunch commitment to simplicity, it’s sometimes easy to be swayed by sweeping trends for graphic print and searing colour schemes. Thankfully, Stylein has stayed true to its philosophy. ‘Something that’s been very important for me is to keep believing in the core aesthetics that we stand for. You stay consistent and don’t deviate just because that’s what the market is asking for,’ says Alemdar. ‘That took me quite a few years to understand. In the past, if after a fashion show I got the Above (all): Stylein spring/summer 2015

response “Oh, you could really see that was Stylein” I saw it almost as a negative comment, but nowadays I understand that it’s positive.’ That’s not to say that the label is stuck in a rut. Stylein’s spring/summer 2015 collection contains hints of print, texture and metallics but these are used intelligently to enhance the overall aesthetic and take it in a new direction. ‘Of course we have to reinvent ourselves, but within the world of Stylein.’ Although Alemdar is heavily infuenced by the Swedish design aesthetic, she also fnds inspiration in New York, the place where she studied and launched her line 14 years ago. ‘It took a place like New York for me to realise that I wanted to do this kind of job and bring out this Scandinavian luxury line,’ says Alemdar. ‘In New York anything

is possible and this infuenced me more than my heritage in a way, maybe not the aesthetics but the feeling of “Let’s try this and let’s risk everything and be brave about it”.’ After 14 years in the industry, having taken risks and reaped the rewards, many might expect a designer’s passion to start to wane. Not so for Alemdar. ‘To see someone wearing our designs is still the ultimate achievement,’ she confrms. ‘I still do a victory dance in my mind because I’m humbled that someone stood in a queue and paid for our specifc design. That’s still a very exciting thought.’ As Stylein continues to dominate wardrobes across Sweden and worldwide, it’s clear that Alemdar will be doing her victory dance for many years to come stylein.com

Heritage brass company Skultuna was established more than 400 years ago. Set up by the king of Sweden, it still supplies the royal family.

hen looking at the latest products from Stockholm homeware manufacturers Skultuna, many would be convinced that the company is a recent start-up. Its modern pieces, in brass or sterling silver, are sleek and minimal, and are perfect examples of Scandinavian design. In fact, the company was founded in 1607, by the then king of Sweden, Karl IX. Skultuna has specialised in brass items for over 400 years and is now a world-leader in the skills required to shape and fnish the material. With a frm eye on its heritage, the company is an ofcial supplier to the Swedish royal family, but it has also developed by bringing on board cutting-edge designers from Sweden and from other countries. Its new Via Fondazza vases are by Italian designer Paolo Dell’Elce, and collaborations have also been set up with Thomas Sandell, Olof Kolte, Claesson Koivisto Rune, Monica Förster and Folkform. What unites these designs, according to Skultuna’s managing director Viktor Blomqvist, is timelessness. ‘This is a quality that comes from being honest with materials,’ 122 /

he says. ‘Historically, Scandivanian countries were very poor, with little time for anything lavish and that was not useful. Where others made in gold, we made in pine – and then painted it grey.’ Skultuna has undergone something of a revival in recent years. When Blomqvist joined the company in 2004, brass wasn’t fashionable, and he feels that Skultuna was, for a while, concentrating on ‘overly complicated’ designs. The material is now enjoying a revival, and Skultuna has embraced a rawer and more industrial aesthetic. ‘Brass has become a very hot material,’ explains Blomqvist. ‘We’re making brass products at a fast pace for an international market. It was a big no-no in design until recently – everything had to be in brushed steel. One appeal of brass is its gold-like look. It’s a very warm material with an organic quality. It’s extremely durable, but needs to be cared for.’

Skultuna’s craftspeople are world experts in working with brass

From sand casting and turning to blasting, grinding and brushing, Skultuna’s craftspeople are world experts in working with brass. According to Blomqvist, brass looks particularly good in candle light, which is why the company continues to make candle holders. Its most recent range, the London Collection, has been devised by jewellery designer Lara Bohinc. When it comes to jewellery items, Skultuna has been Sweden’s largest cufink maker for some 30 years – its Crown design is a classic – and it has also launched a fashion accessories line, which includes leather bracelets by Italian designer Lino Leluzzi. Although Skultuna is now producing smaller items for the home and for personal wear, it has a tradition of making rather larger pieces, namely chandeliers. Its frst was created for a church in Enköping in 1619, and while it has been careful to ‘keep

reinventing itself and not live of the old classics’, the company still makes around 500 chandeliers a year. ‘We keep expanding our collaborations with hot design teams, and yet I’m astounded every year that we sell so many chandeliers,’ says Blomqvist. He attributes this to the fact that many people have a ‘classic’ taste in design, and states that Skultuna, with its long history, is ideally placed to meet this demand. Skultuna is the perfect example of a very long-established company that also has its eye frmly on the present. Visitors to Stockholm can now experience Skultuna’s collections in its frst concept store, located in the centre of the city at Grev Turegatan 18. The company is also catching the world’s attention: last year, its Flowerpots, by Monica Förster, won Wallpaper’s award for best product design. Brass, it seems, is back skultuna.com

s the Scandinavian aesthetic continues to be emulated and exalted across Europe, Fashion Week Stockholm is becoming an ever-more important fxture on the fashion calendar. Certain trends recur each season: colour palettes are generally muted, with black, grey and white dominating, layering generally features, and minimalism reigns. The spring/summer 2015 collections presented in Stockholm incorporated all of these characteristics but also ofered a rich array of fresh ideas, from clashing textures and feminine, emphasised waists to grungeinspired references. The 1990s resurgence stormed onto the catwalks of designers at every end of the style spectrum, from Cheap Monday to Ida Klamborn. Checked lumberjack shirts were worn loosely or tied low-slung around waists, denim came distressed and acid washed, and apron-style skirts were layered over slim-ft trousers. The combination of skirts worn over trousers was a recurring theme throughout Fashion Week Stockholm, ranging from pleated A-line styles teamed with skinny leather trousers at House of Dagmar to loose tunics layered over wide-legged trousers at Carin Wester.

Skirt and trouser combinations weren’t the only unusual pairing on display. Texture took the place of embellishment, adding interest to otherwise sleek silhouettes, and designers were not afraid to clash: Ann-Sofe Back’s difusion line BACK featured oversized densely fringed coats thrown over soft, close-cut dresses and sleek cotton tank tops paired with asymmetric matte leather wrap skirts, while Carin Wester’s distressed knitted sweaters gave edge to foaty chifon mid-length skirts. This was a fashion week with a rebellious streak and many designers took the opportunity to mix up typically subtle Scandinavian palettes with a splash of colour. The cool white and taupe tones that dominated Filippa K’s collection were combined with pufs of powder pink while shades of grey were spiced up with zesty citrus accents. Whyred’s spring/summer 2015 range also incorporated block colours: taking inspiration from German collage-artist Kurt Schwitters, accents of colour appeared Above (from lef): BACK; Carin Wester, both spring/summer 2015

Despite this modern approach to colour, many of the looks presented on the catwalks of Fashion Week Stockholm had a surprisingly traditional and feminine feel. A defned waist featured in almost every collection, from the classic styles of Carin Wester to the more alternative oferings by up-and-coming duo AltewaiSaome. Wester’s belted trenches and buckled jumpsuits provided a sleek take on the trend while AltewaiSaome’s range featured lowslung side ties on silk dresses and wrap-around tops, and coats in beige and grey gained their colour from red and rich mahogany belts. Designer Ida Klamborn closed the week with a show that refected almost all of the event’s main trends.

emphasised with cropped tops and crossover detailing. ‘In my work, I always aim to fnd a balance between colour, shape and material,’ Klamborn explained. ‘For spring/summer 2015, I continued to work with elongated and foating silhouettes in materials such as neoprene, silk and denim.’ Klamborn was also one of the very few designers at Fashion Week Stockholm to incorporate print into her collection, which was seen in full skirts that hit just above the knee, on textured rufes on light sweatshirts and on the base of voluminous tunics worn over trousers. ‘I have created a very specifc print based on a spray-painted lily in orange and pink,’ says Klamborn. ‘The idea behind the print came up as I noticed how people in Stockholm used fowers to cover xenophobic signs painted on ofcial buildings in the city. The painted fowers symbolise a way to take action and show opposition by creating something beautiful.’ Along with the streak of rebellion, almost every collection presented at Fashion Week Stockholm displayed traits that the fashion community has come to regard as Scandinavian signatures. Filippa K presented pieces that were cut close to the body, using drapes and pleats to add texture, while Carin Wester looked to the Far East with her contemporary, minimalist collection which was flled with simple lines and light structuring.

Said to drink more cofee per person than those in any other country, the Swedes are experts when it comes to sourcing and preparing this hot drink. It’s no surprise, then, that the national tradition of fka, loosely translated as ‘cofee break’, is an integral part of Swedish culture. Typically, fka involves drinking cofee and socialising, and is usually accompanied by a pastry or cake, and countless cafés in Stockholm cater for this daily ritual. The choice of sweet treats is impressive, from cinnamon, cardamom or semla buns to princess cake – a sponge cake flled with cream and topped with marzipan.

BOGGI Menswear brand Boggi is synonymous with quality and Italian sartorial fair. This summer’s collection mixes sharp tailoring and luxury fabrics with a laid-back aesthetic. Blue is the colour of the season for the Boggi man and the collection is full of variations on the hue, including plenty of light, dusty shades. Italian tailoring-inspired suits feature micro- and macro-overcheck patterns as well as three-button jackets with a concealed third button, a signature of high-quality Neapolitan tailoring.

MY CITY: LEILA LINDHOLM TV presenter and cookery book author and publisher, Leila Lindholm is the owner and designer of Leila’s General Store, a concept shop that ofers a great array of stylish kitchenware, from amazing gadgets to handmade tools and beautiful textiles. She shares her Stockholm address book with Isabella Redmond Styles

‘My favourite area would have to be Djurgården. It’s an island in central Stockholm, and a very green area of the city. It has lots of great restaurants, museums and galleries so there are plenty of things to enjoy. On my days of I love to head there as it’s a beautiful place to stroll around and my kids love it, too. ‘However, it’s not really a great place for shopping; it’s more of an area for picnics or having a long lunch. My favourite district for shopping is the centre of Stockholm. Mood shopping centre, where my store is based, and the streets around are particularly good. ‘I would say that the most underrated pastime in the city is sitting outside people watching with a glass of wine or cofee in

hand. Swedish people are very stylish and it’s interesting to see the diferent street fashions. I’m most likely to be found doing this at the café at Rosendals Trädgård, which is a beautiful garden with a café and shop. During the summer, it’s great to come with a picnic blanket and relax in the orchard. ‘One of my other favourite cafés is Urban Deli * p.113 in Södermalm. I usually go there for breakfast when I’m at my Stockholm apartment. The food is good and there’s a great atmosphere. Nytorget 6 * p.113, just along the road, is also a lovely breakfast spot - it’s very charming. Both of these cafés are very hip right now. The restaurants and cafés in Mood are also very appealing: there is a Spanish restaurant,

Bouqeria; there are Asian restaurants; and there are places serving traditional Scandinavian food such as smørrebrød Danish open sandwiches. ‘When I have friends visiting, I take them to Mariefred, the little town where I live. It’s very colourful and picturesque. As Stockholm is a city of islands, I also take them for a boat ride in the archipelago. A stroll along any area of the waterside in Stockholm is always beautiful, too, and it’s also a great idea to rent a bike as the city is very cycle friendly. ‘Skeppsholmen is another small island in the city that is lovely to walk around. There is a modern art museum with a great shop and there are lots of good restaurants.

‘I always recommend that visitors stay in either the Lydmar Hotel or the Story Hotel * p.104. The dining room at the Lydmar is beautiful and has wonderful views. ‘The view of Stockholm from Södermalm is my favourite outlook in the city. There are plenty of viewing points on the island and as there are hills there, you can look down on the city. ‘There’s also a fantastic sushi place in Södermalm that is little more than a hole in the wall. It’s next to Medborgarplatsen underground station, it’s called Akki Sushi, and the sushi is really authentic. Another of my local discoveries is a great place called Phil’s Burger. I love burgers so it’s always good to fnd a new place making them well.’

Идеальный Аромат

Основными составляющими изысканных шведских ароматов являются исключительно натуральные ингредиенты и традиционный скандинавский минимализм, – рассказывает Кэти Янг Когда речь заходит об элегантных парфюмах, вряд ли кому-то на ум придут скандинавские бренды, хотя в Швеции было создано немало роскошных ароматов, пользующихся большой популярностью во многих странах мира. Местные бренды, специализирующиеся в основном на свежих композициях из натуральных компонентов, составляют неплохую конкуренцию своим globalblue.com

европейским партнерам. Компания Orifame появилась 47 лет назад в небольшом стокгольмском офисе. Братья Роберт и Йонас аф Йохник мечтали познакомить мир со шведским стилем жизни и свежими натуральными ароматами. Косметическая марка, название для которой было взято из средневекового королевского знамени Франции, предлагает 216 ароматов для мужчин и женщин в 60 странах мира, а ежегодный оборот компании на сегодняшний день составляет 1,5 миллиарда евро. Без учета концептуального магазина в Стокгольме, компания насчитывает 3 миллиона сотрудников, торгующих продукцией вразнос. По словам генерального директора компании Магнуса Бренштрёма, такой нестандартный подход был обусловлен тем, что в 1960-х годах покупательницам было намного комфортнее выбирать необходимый товар у себя дома, нежели у прилавка перед лицом шикарных продавщиц. Еще одним секретом успеха компании являются первоклассные специалисты. Так, разработкой ароматов Orifame занимаются две звезды парфюмерного мира – Жан Жакуй и Францис Куркджиян, в послужной список которых входят такие марки, как Elie Saab, Burberry и Givenchy. Сегодня духи Orifame представлены соблазнительной серией ароматов, включающих нотки черной розы, янтаря, жасмина и пачули, а также свежие ароматы базилика, ванильной орхидеи и цветов апельсина. Byredo – еще один шведский парфюмерный бренд, основанный в 2006 году, чья продукция производится исключительно на территории Швеции. Основатель компании Бен Горхам провел большую часть своей жизни в Канаде, однако сейчас он живет в Стокгольме и его творения насквозь пронизаны шведской гармонией. «Образ Byredo отражает эстетику скандинавского дизайна, а именно – любовь к лаконичности и минимализму, –

поясняет он. – Наши духи не перенасыщены деталями и вы можете различить отдельные ингредиенты, что для меня очень важно. Для творческого процесса большую роль играет окружающая атмосфера, поэтому для парфюмера важно, где он живет и работает». «Шведы предпочитают большие структуры и формы, и в своем творчестве я склоняюсь к осмысленной простоте, – говорит Горхам. – Мне нравится, когда ноты имеют пространство, а композиция передается ясно и выразительно. Когда речь идет о сильных ингредиентах, то здесь действует принцип „лучше меньше да лучше“». В последнее время Горхам начал уделять все больше внимания шведским ингредиентам, таким как дудник лесной и брусника. Аромат «1996», вдохновленный фотоработами Инес ван Ламсвеерде и Виноодх Матадин, содержит характерный лаконичный букет из можжевеловых ягод, кожи и черного янтаря. Создатели бренда Agonist Никлас и Кристин Лидеен считают, что их коллекция из семи роскошных ароматов многим обязана шведской культуре. «Наше трудолюбие и внимание к деталям – это очень по-шведски, – говорит Никлас Лидеен. – Гуманный и экологичный подход к производству также воплощает шведский стиль жизни. Образ нашего бренда навеян лирической красотой шведской природы и культуры: это и смена времен года, и зимняя стужа, порывистые ветры и солнечное лето, поэмы Карин Бойе и образы Ингмара Бергмана». Результатом их труда стала коллекция нежных и выразительных ароматов, таких как Arctic Jade, Isis и Vanilla Marble. Шведские парфюмерные бренды, начиная от легких цветочных ароматов Byredo и заканчивая пряными композициями Agonist, помогают стране заявить о себе на международной арене. «Мир изысканных ароматов стал более открытым в последнее время, – поясняет Горхам. – Страны с менее развитой парфюмерной промышленностью, чем во Франции и Италии сегодня наполняют индустрию новым, ранее не замеченным смыслом». orifame.com, byredo.com, agonistparfums.com globalblue.com

62: Pure and Simple

Роскошь По-Скандинавски Чистые линии и изысканные силуэты творений Stylein являются воплощением скандинавской эстетики. Салли МакИлхоун встретилась с дизайнером и основателем марки – Элин Алемдар Если дело касается чувства стиля, то, похоже, что шведским женщинам удается всегда оставаться на шаг впереди остальных. С завидной легкостью они сочетают платья и спортивную обувь, а их гардеробы по-минималистски изящны и практичны. Вместо сотни ненужных вещей в ход идут дорогие, но качественные и многофункциональные модели. Именно такой подход воплощает роскошный шведский бренд Stylein под руководством дизайнера Блин Алемдар. Госпожа Алемдар начала свою карьеру в индустрии моды еще в 2001 году и с тех пор была неоднократным свидетелем успеха шведской эстетики, обратившей на себя внимание специалистов моды по всему миру. «Я стала принимать участие в Парижских Неделях моды и восемь лет назад я увидела огромный интерес к нашим работам со стороны азиатских стран, – говорит Алемдар, – теперь же шведский стиль завоевал популярность во всем мире, причем это касается не только одежды, но и стиля жизни. Почему так случилось сказать сложно. Если постоянно крутиться на месте, то новых перспектив не появится. Успех порождает новый успех, потому бренды привлекающие внимание мировой общественности к шведской моде, так как это делает Acne, оказывают стране неоценимую помощь». Экспансия скандинавского стиля определенно только на руку Stylein, но в отличие от таких модных гигантов, как Acne, компания специализируется на непринужденных, изысканных силуэтах. «Во многих случаях простота смотрится лучшего всего, однако достичь ее бывает не так просто. Некоторые считают, что создать простой дизайн ничего не стоит, однако все

наоборот», – считает Алемдар. Стремление дизайнеров Stylein к обтекаемым формам позволило бренду стать одним из ведущих производителей классических вещей, которые как нельзя лучше соответствуют экономичному образу мышления, присущему шведам. «Долгосрочное инвестирование в универсальные вещи явилось реакцией на культуру массового потребления, скоротечные тенденции и одноразовую моду, – говорит Алемдар. – Одной из ключевых концепций марки Stylein всегда была ценность одежды, а также ее долговечность и универсальность. Именно поэтому мы стремимся к простому дизайну, который впоследствии дополняется аксессуарами, макияжем и конечно вашей индивидуальностью». Даже не смотря на абсолютную приверженность простоте, остается большая вероятность поддаться искушению ультрасовременных трендов, графических принтов и пронзительных красок. К счастью марка Stylein осталась верна своей философии. «Для меня вера в нашу ключевую эстетику всегда имела первостепенную важность, – говорит Алемдар. – Чтобы прийти к такому пониманию я потратила не один год. Раньше, когда после шоу-показа мне говорили: “Да, это был типичный Stylein”, я считала это негативной оценкой, но сейчас я понимаю, что все как раз наоборот». Это не означает, что компания застряла на одном месте. Коллекция весналето 2015 содержит много намеков на принты, текстуры и металл для усиления общей эстетики и придания ей нового направления. «Конечно, нам приходится многое пересматривать, но при этом мы стараемся придерживаться концепции Stylein». Несмотря на то, что дизайнер предана шведской эстетике, это не мешает ей черпать вдохновение в Нью-Йорке, где она училась и основала свою марку 14 лет назад. «НьюЙорк помог мне понять, чем я должна заниматься в жизни, а именно – основать линию роскошной скандинавской одежды, globalblue.com

– говорит Алемдар. – В Нью-Йорке все становится возможным. Большое влияние на меня оказала не столько местный стиль, сколько популярный девиз – “Давайте пробовать, рисковать и быть смелыми”». За 14 лет работы в индустрии моды дизайнер неоднократно рисковала, одерживая в результате триумфальные победы. Тем не менее, ее пыл от этого не убавился. “Видеть кого-то в одежде нашей марки для нас большое достижение, – говорит она. – В эти моменты я всегда искренне радуюсь и для меня большая честь осознавать, что человек специально стоял в очереди и платил деньги, чтобы носить наши вещи. Эта мысль до сих пор вызывает у меня приятное волнение”. Тем временем Stylein продолжает завоевывать гардеробы современных дам, а его дизайнер дарить всем роскошь и волшебство. stylein.com 70: Metal Masters

Мастера Металла

Латунная фабрика Skultuna, основанная более 400 лет назад, переживает второе рождение и осваивает современную эстетику дизайна, – рассказывает Джош Симс


123

Взглянув на продукцию стокгольмского производителя предметов интерьера Skultuna, многие могут подумать, что компания открылась совсем недавно. Современные изделия бренда, сделанные из латуни и серебра, отличаются стильным минималистским дизайном и служат хорошим примером скандинавской ремесленнической традиции. К слову, компания была создана еще в 1607 году королем Швеции Карлом IX. На протяжении 400 лет компания Skultuna специализируется на латунных изделиях и является мировым лидером в своей отрасли. Первоклассное качество и оригинальный дизайн позволили компании завоевать доверие самого королевского двора. Однако прогресс не стоит на месте, и к работе над новыми коллекциями привлекаются уже не только местные мастера, но и иностранные дизайнеры. Новая серия ваз Via Fondazza, к примеру, выполнена итальянским дизайнером Паоло Дель Эльче, кроме того, бренд проводит многочисленные коллаборации с такими знаменитостями, как Томас Сандел, Улофа Кольте, Клэссон Койвисто Руне, Моника Форстер и Folkform. По словам Виктора Бломквиста, генерального директора Skultuna, изделия бренда имеют одну общую особенность, а именно – неподвластность времени. «Все дело в качестве, которое возникает благодаря мастерству обращения с металлами, – говорит он. – Изначально, скандинавские страны не могли похвастаться большими богатствами, поэтому не тратили много времени на создание излишеств и не нужных вещей. То, что в других странах делалось из золота, у нас вытачивалось из древесины и окрашивалось в серый цвет». В последние годы Skultuna пережила своего рода возрождение. Когда Бломквист присоединился к компании в 2004 году, латунь не была так популярна, и, к тому же, какое-то время Skultuna уделяла слишком много времени усложненному дизайну. Сегодня же этот материал снова вернулся в моду, и изделия Skultuna приобрели более смелую и индустриальную эстетику.

«Латунь стала довольно востребованным материалом, – поясняет Бломквист. – На данный момент у нас большое количество заказов по всему миру. Если раньше ценилась лишь отполированная сталь, то теперь люди обратили внимание на естественную красоту латуни. Это очень теплый материал с органическим качеством. Он невероятно прочен, правда нуждается в уходе». На сегодняшний день компания практически не знает себе равных в таких процессах как отливка, очистка, шлифовка и отделка латуни. По мнению Бломквиста, латунь особенно хорошо смотрится при свете свечи, именно поэтому компания продолжает выпускать изящные подсвечники. Последняя серия «London Collection» была создана под руководством ювелирного дизайнера Лары Бохинч. Что касается ювелирных украшений, то вот уже как 30 лет Skultuna удерживает лидирующую позицию среди шведских производителей запонок. Кроме того компания запустила линию аксессуаров, куда вошли кожаные браслеты итальянского дизайнера Лино Лелуззи. Ассортимент изделий Skultuna в основном представлен мелкими предметами интерьера и товарами для личного пользования, но встречаются и более крупные вещи, к примеру, люстры. Самая первая была создана для церкви Enkoping в 1619 году. И хотя компания «не перестает переосмысливать и открывать все новые и новые вещи, не желая довольствоваться успехами прошлого», с ее конвейеров ежегодно сходит около 500 классических люстр. «Мы поддерживаем сотрудничество с талантливыми дизайнерами из многих стран, и каждый год результаты продаж люстр не перестают меня удивлять», – говорит Бломквист. По его мнению, это связано с тем, что многие покупатели до сих пор предпочитают классику, а компания Skultuna, опирающаяся на свой многовековой опыт, идеально отвечает их требованиям. Skultuna – прекрасный пример давно зарекомендовавшего себя производства,

которое постоянно держит руку на пульсе индустрии дизайна. Так, в прошлом году серия цветочных горшков, созданная Моникой Форстер, получила престижную награду журнала Wallpaper за лучший дизайн. С последними коллекциями Skultuna поклонники могут ознакомиться в концептуальном бутике бренда, расположенном в самом центре Стокгольма. Похоже, что латунь снова в моде. skultuna.com 76: New Directions

Новое направление Дизайнеры северной Европы постепенно уходят от классического скандинавского стиля, предпочитая цвет, текстуры и стиль ретро. Верити Хоган рассказывает о трендах Недели моды в Стокгольме Скандинавская эстетика пользуется большой популярностью в Европе: у нее появились не только последователи, но и подражатели. На этом фоне Модная неделя в Стокгольме становится значительным событием стильного мира. Некоторые ее тренды возвращаются из сезона в сезон: в приглушенной цветовой палитре доминируют черный, серый и белый, неизменной остается многослойность и минимализм. Исключением не стали и показы сезона весна/лето 2015. Однако в новых коллекциях отчетливо прослеживаются совершенно новые идеи – от неожиданных текстур и женственных зауженных талий до гранжевых элементов. Стиль 1990-х вернулся в коллекции дизайнеров, работающих в самых разных стилях – от Cheap Monday до Ida Klamborn. На подиумах можно было увидеть клетчатые рубахи, навыпуск или с поясом почти на бедрах, нарочито выбеленные или протертые джинсы и юбки-фартуки поверх зауженных брюк. Сочетание юбки и брюк – вообще сквозная тема на Модной неделе в Стокгольме. Причем вариации могут быть самые разные, от плиссированного «колокола» с кожаными скинни у House of Dagmar до свободных туник поверх globalblue.com

широких брюк у Carin Wester. Это далеко не единственная неожиданная комбинация на модных показах в Стокгольме. Вместо обычной отделки, дизайнеры использовали сочетания текстур, заостряя тем самым мягкие силуэты. В целом, появилась небывалая смелость в сочетаниях. Например, в диффузной линии BACK от Ann-Sofe Back объемные пальто из грубой шерсти с плотной бахромой надевались поверх мягких узких платьев, а асимметричная кожаная юбка с запахом сочеталась с приталенными хлопковыми топами на узких бретельках. Дизайнер Карин Вестер соединила вытянутые вязаные свитера с легкими шифоновыми юбками средней длины. Черты бунтарства можно заметить практически во всем. Так, многие дизайнеры не упустили шанс подмешать в мягкую скандинавскую палитру яркие цвета. В коллекции Filippa K доминировали белый и серо-коричневый тона, и их выгодно оттеняли брызги нежного розового, а все вариации серого оказались пикантно подчеркнуты цитрусовыми акцентами. В весенней коллекции Whyred также преобладают чистые цвета. Ориентиром послужило творчество немецкого художника-коллажиста Курта Швиттерса, поэтому яркие дополнения характерны для большинства комплектов, будь то металлические ткани в воротниках и манжетах или вставки насыщенного красного и синего на пиджаках. Вместе со столь актуальным подходом к цветовой палитре, многие образы на подиумах Модной недели Стокгольма оказались неожиданно традиционными и женственными. Силуэты с зауженной талией есть почти в каждой коллекции: у Carin Wester – классические, а у молодого дуэта AltewaiSaome – альтернативные вариации. В частности, тренчи с поясом и комбинезоны с пряжками Carin Wester демонстрируют весьма спокойную трактовку этой тенденции. А AltewaiSaome повязал пояса-ленты на шелковые платья и топы с запахом, а также ремни контрастных

цветов, красного и коричневого, на пальто бежевого и серого оттенков. Дизайнер Ида Кламборн закрывала Неделю моды показом своей коллекции, которая вобрала в себя почти все ее главные тренды. Хаки, неоновый розовый и оранжевый цвета разнообразили преобладающую монохромную палитру. К мягким, полупрозрачным тканям дизайнер добавила утяжеляющие блестки. А укороченные топы и перекрывающие друг друга полы одежды подчеркивали зауженную талию силуэтов. «Я всегда нацелена на поиск баланса между цветом, формой и текстурой, - объясняет Кламборн. – В коллекции весна/лето 2015 я развиваю тему удлиненных и свободных силуэтов с помощью неопрена, шелка и денима». Кламборн оказалась одной из немногих на этой Модной неделе в Стокгольме, кто добавил принт на юбках до колена, текстурированных полах легких свитшотов и объемных туниках. «Я сделала весьма характерный принт – оранжевые и розовые лилии, нарисованную распылением, - комментирует дизайнер. – Эта идея пришла мне в голову, когда я увидела, как жители Стокгольма рисовали на улицах цветы, чтобы закрасить ксенофобские надписи на зданиях города. Эти цветы символизировали способность демонстрировать несогласие и реагировать через создание чего-то красивого». В то же время почти все коллекции, представленные на Модной неделе в Стокгольме, так или иначе, отражают стиль, который модное сообщество считает скандинавским. Бренд Fillipa K представил облегающие модели, где для большей плотности используется драпировка и складки. Карин Вестер вдохновлялась Дальним Востоком, поэтому для ее современной минималистской коллекции характерны простые линии и легкие конструкции. Сохранив доказавшую свою успешность эстетику скандинавского стиля, шведские дизайнеры открыли новое поле для экспериментов. И это сделало Модную неделю в Стокгольме одним из самых

интересных событий в европейском стильном календаре. В основе каждой коллекции – по-прежнему шведская классика. Но теперь дизайнерам все больше хочется сочетать эту традицию с более смелыми решениями. А таким результатом, эта игра, определенно, стоит свеч. fashionweek.se, annsofeback.com, carinwester.com, flippa-k.com, whyred.se, altewaisaome.com, idaklamborn.se 116: When you shop the world, shop tax free

54: Perfect Scents 完美香氛 瑞典香水品牌充分运用该国的丰富自然资源与极 简主义美学,制造出引人入胜的清新香氛。Katy Young带您领略

谈到高级香氛,瑞典或许并非人们首先想到的国 家。然而该国已诞生了一系列获得国际关注与盛赞 的奢华香氛品牌。这些专注于制造清新香氛,并多 采用天然成分的品牌,为人们提供与来自欧洲其他 地区的浓郁配方截然不同的选择。 47年前,Orifame诞生于斯德哥尔摩的一处 两间房的办公室中。Robert与Jonas af Jochnick 兄弟创立了该品牌,期望将瑞典洁净的生活方式 与清新天然的香氛带到世界的其他角落。该品牌 因法国中世纪王室旗帜得名,产品涵盖216款男用 与女用香水,年营业额15亿欧元并在60个国家有 售。除了位于斯德哥尔摩的概念店,公司还雇佣了 多达300万人的上门推销团队。采用这种销售方法 的原因,据Orifame的首席执行官与总裁Magnus Brännström指出,是因为在1960年代消费者们觉 得在家挑选产品,要比前往美容店铺与漂亮女销售

globalblue.com

接触更为轻松愉悦。 公司成功的另一个重要因素是核心团队的高素 质。公司产品的幕后功臣是两位举世无双的当代调 香师——Jean Jacques与Francis Kurkdjian—— 他们同时也为国际知名品牌Elie Sabb、Burberry 与Givenchy等调制香水。 今日,Orifame的香氛 产品包括使用黑玫瑰、琥珀、茉莉和广藿香调制的 撩人混合香调,以及用绿罗勒、香草兰花与橙花等 调制出的清新配方。 Byredo是另一个瑞典香水领军品牌:公司成 立于2006年,产品全部在瑞典制造。品牌的创始人 Ben Gorham早年成长于加拿大,但如今已迁居斯 德哥尔摩,他的香水也是完全瑞典式的。 “Byredo 的精神与外观体现了斯堪的纳维亚式的设计美 学——对于朴素极简主义的热爱, ”他解释道。 “我 们的香水并不纷乱,你可以清晰辨别出成分,这点 对我很重要。一个人周遭的环境对其创作过程非常 重要——香水制造商永远都会受到环境的影响。” “瑞典人喜爱良好的结构性与形态,我也认 同从个人审美而言偏好简单, ”Gorham 表示。 “我 喜欢那些留有空间让香水概念得以清晰传播的香 调。对于高品质的原料而言,单纯一定比复杂好。” Gorham最近开始在Byredo香氛中使用更多瑞典 原料,例如野生当归和越橘。1996香水的灵感来自 于Inez van Lamsweerde与Vinoodh Matadin 拍摄的一张相片中的年轻女孩,以冰杜松子为主 香调,配以皮革与黑琥珀气味,是一款典型的简约 配方。 Agonist品牌的幕后推手Niclas与Christine Lydeen夫妇,坚信他们七款高级香水产品的诞生 很大程度上归功于瑞典文化和遗产。 “我们孜孜不倦 地追求细节,这是非常瑞典式的工作方法, ”Niklas Lydeen 表示。 “对于人性以及可持续发展的关注, 同样来自于我们的瑞典根基。品牌带给人们的感 觉与主基调来源于如诗如画的瑞典自然风光与文 化:季节的变换、冰冷漆黑的冬天与夏日的美丽光 线,Karin Boye的诗歌,Ingmar Bergman的影像 等等。”这一切造就出一款款听上去让人浮想联翩 的香氛作品,例如“北极翡翠” (Arctic Jade)、Isis 与“香草大理石” (Vanilla Marble)等。 从 Byredo的清新花香到Orifame的异域辛辣 及 Agonist的手工配方,一系列瑞典品牌正帮助该 国在国际香氛界留下自己的印记。 “高级香氛的世界 在过去几年变得越发开放, ”Gorham解释道。 “那 些并不拥有法国或意大利那样悠久制香史与香氛 文化的国家,正不断改进产品并将新的精神带入这 个行业。” orifame.com, byredo.com, agonistparfums.com

62: Pure and Simple 简单而纯粹 简洁的线条和精致的轮廓,Stylein 的身上集中 体现了北欧美学。本期,Sally McIlhone将对话 Stylein品牌设计师和创始人 Elin Alemdar 在时尚方面,瑞典女人似乎总能够先人一步。她们可 以将礼服和运动鞋搭配得恰到好处,她们的衣橱里 洋溢着简约实用的味道:扔掉冗杂,转投高品质、多 功能的单品。由设计师 Elin Alemdar打造的瑞典 高端品牌Stylein反映了这一趋势,骄傲地占据了许 多北欧衣橱。 Alemdar自2001年起就开始在时尚行业工作, 在此期间她见证了国际风尚界越来越接受瑞典美 学。 “八年前我开始参加巴黎时装周展销会,发现许 多亚洲国家对此非常感兴趣, ”Alemdar 解释说。 “ 现在瑞典的潮流趋势蜂拥至全世界,无论在时尚方 面还在生活方式上。为什么会这样真的很难解释, 因为一旦你躲在自己的小圈子里,你真的很难洞见 到这一切。成功会带来新的成功,比如说 Acne这 样成功吸引世界聚焦瑞典时尚的品牌对我们大有 裨益。”

Stylein 显然是在北欧风尚大潮中获益的品牌 之一,但是不同于标杆性的时尚巨头Acne,Stylein 更着力于削减的背部和精致而有型的轮廓。 “有的 时候简洁就是最好的,但这也是最难去设计的。人 们可能会觉得设计简洁的风格很简单,但事实上却 恰恰相反, ”Alemdar 说。 正是这种致力于精简风格的承诺让Stylein成 为了经典衣橱主打单品的顶级品牌,这也完全符合 瑞典对环保生活和生态问题的偏爱。 “买一件可以 适用于不同场合的衣服是一项长期投资,这是对大 众消费、快销潮流和一次性时尚的反击, ”Alemdar 继续说。 “Stylein一直专注于这样的一个理念,一 件衣服是一样宝贵的东西,你应该可以以各种方式 穿很长时间。这就是为什么我们喜欢简单的设计: 你可以加入自己的配饰、妆容甚至仅仅只是自己的 个性,来搭配整体的服装。” 即便对简洁有着如此坚定的承诺,有时候也 很容易被风靡的图形印花和华彩配色的潮流趋势 所左右。值得庆幸的是,Stylein一直坚守着自己的 理念。 “有的时候坚信我们所秉持的核心美学观非 常重要。坚持自己的道路,而不是仅仅因为市场的 需求就偏离这条道路, ”Alemdar 说。 “我花了好几 年的时间才明白这一点。在过去,一场时装秀结束 后如果我收到的反馈是‘噢,你可以看出来那就是 Stylein’ ,我觉得这基本上是一个负面的评价,但现 在我明白了这其实是积极的。” 但这并不是说这个品牌就是固守陈规。它的 2015年春夏季系列包含了印花、纹理和金属的元 素,不过这些都被巧妙地应用于提升整体美感,并 将品牌引入一个新的方向。 “我们当然需要改造自 己,但改造的范围是在Stylein的世界里。” 虽然在很大程度上 Alemdar 是受到了瑞典设 计美学的影响,她也在纽约找到了灵感,14年以前 她在这里学习并推出了自己的产品线。 “纽约这样 的地方会让我意识到我想要从事的工作,然后就有 了这个北欧奢侈品产品线, ”Alemdar 说。 “在纽约 任何事情都可能发生,从某种程度上来说这比我自 己的文化对我的影响更大。也许这并不是美学观, 而是一种‘让我们尝试一下,让我们不顾一切勇敢面 对’的感觉。” 在时尚行业摸爬滚打14年,冒过险也收获过回 报,很多人可能会觉得一个设计师的激情开始消磨 殆尽。但是对于Alemdar来说这样的时刻还没有到 来。 “看到有人穿我们的设计仍然非常有成就感, ” 她说。 “我仍然会在我的脑海里跳胜利之舞,因为 我很感激有人愿意排队为我们的特别设计付钱。一 想到这就让人非常兴奋。”随着Stylein持续主导瑞 典和世界各地的衣橱,很显然Alemdar在接下来的 几年还会跳她的胜利之舞。 stylein.com

70: Metal Masters 金属大师 创立于400多年以前的传统制铜公司Skultuna通过 应用一种全新的现代主义设计美学,正经历着一场 复兴。Josh Sims报道 当人们看到斯德哥尔摩家居用品制造商Skultuna 的最新产品时,许多人会相信这是一家才起步的创 业企业。由黄铜或白银打制的现代器皿简洁时尚, 堪称斯堪的纳维亚设计的典范。事实上,这家公司 创立于1607年,是由当时的瑞典国王卡尔九世一手 创办的。 Skultuna在专业制铜方面拥有超过400年的经 验,现如今是铜制品塑形和饰面技术领域的世界级 领导者。做为瑞典皇室的官方供应商,这家公司不仅 扎根于历史传承,更通过和瑞典及其他国家的新锐 设计师合作,进一步发展了自身实力。其全新的Via Fondazza花瓶由意大利设计师Paolo Dell’Elce 打造;除此以外,公司还与Thomas Sandell,Olof Kolte,Claesson Koivisto Rune,Monica Förster 和 Folkform等设计方建立了合作。 根据Skultuna董事总经理Viktor Blomqvist 的说法,这些设计的共同点在于一种历久弥新的品 质。 “这种品质源于对材质的忠诚, ”他说。 “从历史 上说,斯堪的纳维亚半岛上的国家都很穷,很少会 有时间花在任何奢侈而不实用的东西上。其他地方 的人用黄金做东西,我们就用松树,然后再把它涂 成银色。” 近些年来,Skultuna正在经历一场复兴。在 Blomqvist 于2004年加入公司时,黄铜并不怎么时 髦;而且他觉得Skultuna在过去的一段时间内一直 侧重于“过于复杂”的设计。这种材料现在正重获 globalblue.com

新生,而Skultuna采用了一种更为原生态也更加工 业化的美学。 “黄铜已经成为了一种非常热门的材 料, ”Blomqvist解释说。 “我们正以非常快的节奏生 产黄铜制品,以适应国际市场的需求。这曾经是设计 上一个很大的禁忌——所有东西都必须由磨砂的钢 筋制成。直到最近才有所改变。黄铜最大的吸引力之 一就是它犹如黄金一般的外观。它是一种非常温暖 的材质,拥有一种纯天然、无公害的品质。它非常耐 用,但也需要保养。” 从砂型铸造到喷砂、打磨和涂刷,这家公司现在 是黄铜制品塑形和饰面技术领域的世界级领导者。 根据Blomqvist的说法,黄铜在烛光下看上去特别 好,这也是为什么公司不断推出烛台设计。其最新的 London Collection烛台系列是由珠宝设计师Lara Bohinc打造的。 在谈到珠宝首饰,30多年来Skultuna是瑞典最 大的袖扣生产商——它的Crown皇冠设计堪称经 典——它还发布了一个时尚配件产品线,其中包括 了由意大利设计师Lino Leluzzi设计的皮手镯。 虽然现在Skultuna正在为家居和个人着装生产 小型物件,它也有制作大件物品的传统,那就是吊 灯。它的第一盏吊灯是于1619年为Enkoping的一所 教堂而造的。尽管Skultuna一直小心翼翼的“重塑 本身而不是安于旧的经典” ,这家公司每年仍然会生 产大约500只吊灯。 “我们一直在扩大和热门设计团 队的合作,然而我也很惊讶每年我们会卖出去这么 多吊灯, ” Blomqvist 说。他将这归功于很多人对设 计有一种“经典”式的品位,并指出拥有悠久历史的 Skultuna非常适合去满足这种需求。 Skultuna完美诠释了一家历史悠久的公司通 过将目光聚焦于现代,吸引了全世界的目光:去年 由Monica Förster设计的Flowerpots花盆赢得了 Wallpaper的最佳产品设计奖。斯德哥尔摩的观光 客们也可以在Skultuna位于市中心的第一家概念店 亲身体验它的产品系列。 欢迎回归黄铜时代。 skultuna.com

表的2015年春夏系列依旧保留了这些特点,但同时 引入了精彩纷呈的新概念,从冲突的素材到女性化 特质,从强调腰线到借鉴邋遢摇滚风格。 1990年代的潮流回卷了秀场中每位设计师的T 型台,从Cheap Monday 到Ida Klamborn。格子 伐木工衬衫松散地披着或松垮地束在腰间。牛仔面 料经过磨破与酸洗处理,紧身裤装外套着围裙式短 裙。将裙子穿在长裤外是整个斯德哥尔摩时装周反 复出现的主题, House of Dagmar以打褶A字裙 搭配紧身皮裤,Carin Wester则将宽松罩裙叠穿在 宽腿裤外。 裙裤同穿并非是唯一不同寻常的搭配。纹理取 代装饰物为时髦廓形锦上添花,设计师们也毫不畏 惧冲突:Ann-Sofe Back的副线BACK推出了超 大尺寸的毛茸大衣,密集流苏覆盖着柔软贴身的连 衣裙,并配以磨砂皮不对称裹裙与时尚棉背心;同 时Carin Wester以磨破针织毛衣搭配漂浮感雪纺 中长裙。 在这个充满叛逆精神的时装周上,诸多设计师 趁此机会在斯堪的纳维亚柔和色系中加入斑斓色 彩。主导了Filippa K系列的冷白色与灰褐色中调入 了粉桃红色,深浅不一的灰色系则被加入璀璨明快 的柑橘色调。Whyred的2015年春夏系列同样运用 了鲜艳色块:从德国拼贴艺术家Kurt Schwitters的 作品中获取灵感,个性色彩贯穿了整个系列,从用 于领口与袖口的金属面料,到夹克上耀眼的邮筒红 与海军蓝。 虽纷纷采用摩登配色手法,本次斯德哥尔摩时 装周上的许多造型还是惊人地传统与富于女性气 息。几乎每个系列中都出现了强调腰部的设计,从 Carin Wester的经典款到新近崭露头角的设计组 合 AltewaiSaome的不同诠释。Wester的束腰带风 衣与搭扣连体服搭上了这趟风潮,AltewaiSaome的 系列则包括底部带有侧面系带的丝绸连衣裙与包裹 式上衣,连同以红色与浓重桃心木色腰带点睛的米 色与灰色大衣。 设计师Ida Klamborn以一场集结本季所有趋 势的作品发布,为时装周完美收官。她在自己的单一 色调中注入卡其绿、荧光粉与橙色;用柔软、半透明 的织物搭配厚重亮片,并以短款上装与交叉细节强 调腰部。 “在设计中,我总是试图找到色彩、形状与 材质间的平衡, ”Klamborn解释道。 “在2015年春 夏,我继续使用氯丁橡胶、丝绸与牛仔等面料,打造 修长灵动的廓形。” Klamborn也是斯德哥尔摩时装周上极少数在 作品中使用印花的设计师之一,见诸于她的及膝连 衣裙、褶皱纹理轻薄T恤与罩在长裤外量感十足的 郁金香裙。 “我根据喷绘的橙色与粉色百合创作出 一款特别的印花, ” Klamborn表示。 “当我看到斯 德哥尔摩的人们用花朵来覆盖喷绘在城市官方建筑

外墙的排外标语时,获得了这一灵感。这款喷绘印花 象征着通过制造美丽事物来采取行动、表达反对立 场的态度。” 随着叛逆精神节节胜利,斯德哥尔摩时装周上 演的每个系列都流露出被时尚界视为斯堪的纳维亚 招牌特质的痕迹。 Fillipa K推出了紧贴身体剪裁 的服饰,并使用垂坠与褶皱来增添肌理感,Carin Wester则借鉴远东风格,在自己摩登极简的系列中 使用简单线条与轻质结构。 通过保留被验证屡获成功的元素,瑞典设计师 们在斯德哥尔摩时装周为自己找到了完美的空白实 验画布,从而也将其变为欧洲时尚日历上最吸引人 的盛事之一。传统瑞典风格仍旧是每个系列的核心, 但设计师们越发倾向于以更大胆的笔触描绘传统元 素。基于其催生的杰出作品,这是值得一试的风险。 fashionweek.se, annsofeback.com, carinwester.com, flippa-k.com, whyred.se, altewaisaome.com, idaklamborn.se

H&M One of Sweden’s most successful fashion brands, known today for its trend-led young fashions and sell-out designer collaborations, H&M’s history dates back further than you may think. The clothing company opened in 1947 with a womenswear store in the town of Västerås, just outside of Stockholm. Originally called Hennes, the company’s name was changed to Hennes & Mauritz in 1968, when the hunting and fshing equipment store globalblue.com

Mauritz Widforss was acquired; clothing lines for men and children were introduced in the same year. In 1974 the brand was listed on the Stockholm stock exchange and was abbreviated to H&M, as we know it today. Since then, the company has grown into a global brand with over 3,500 stores delivering the hottest fashion trends around the world. gl H&M, Hamngatan 22, 111 47 Stockholm, +46 (0)3 314 0000, hm.com * for map go to page 105
