On Tuesday February 1, the second day of Stockholm Fashion Week, Filippa K presented its men's collection for the new season to the international press including Wonderland, The Independent and ELLE Canada. We took Bregje Lampe from newspaper Het Parool and Vanessa Oostijen from Esquire along for the presentation with an interview with Filippa K's design director Nina Bogstedt beforehand. Instead of a traditional catwalk presentation, this time Filippa K chose to show the new winter looks in a gallery. The models, dressed in clean combinations, came up in one room, while it was being filmed and shown on projectors in other areas of the gallery. In between the interviews and collection presentation we had some precious spare time to visit the Filippa K second hand store. A definite must-go for your future trip to Stockholm. Hej hej!

Acne presented the MENSWEAR COLLECTION AUTUMN/WINTER 2011 on the 23rd of January in Paris

When I was in school I used to hang out a lot with a guy quite different from me, let's call him "Buddy". At the time it was all about music for me while "Buddy" came from an artistic background and had a very intellectual approach. There was something captivating about him. At the time I couldn't put my finger on it, I think it was his confidence that inspired me."

Jonny Johansson

For this collection we were looking for a fresh energy, thinking about that time in your youth when there are only possibilities. Although full of life-changing decisions, you are loaded with confidence, naive but certain you are going to make it happen. And you will. We felt like it was time to dress up, scrub up, like every day is an occasion to look your best. It is still a casual look, but somehow just a bit more polished and cleaner. When did you last see young boys in proper coats, a well-ironed shirt and neat trousers?
