IN FOCUS: SWEDISH WATCH BRANDS Keep track of time during Sweden’s long summer days. Ginger Rose Clark selects four local brands which are putting the country’s watches on the map

BRAVUR

TRIWA

Bravur was founded in Stockholm by two friends who set out to create detailed watches with a simple look. The company has expanded its BW002 range with a new model, the BW002S-B which, as with all Bravur products, is made in Switzerland. This minimalistlooking watch has a 38mm-diameter stainless steel case, and a matte black dial with white applied indexes and graphics. A strap in Perlon, steel or vegetable-tanned leather completes the look. For striking design paired with Swiss watchmaking expertise, look no further than this model. Bravur BW002S-B watch with green Italian leather strap, SEK 4,800, Fredmans Ur, Strandvägen 17, 114 51 Stockholm, +46 (0)8 667 4466, bravurwatches.com

Triwa turns 10 this year. The Swedish label was founded by four friends who wanted to bring change to the industry, a mission reflected in the brand’s name: Transforming the Industry of Watches. Among its most recent releases, Triwa has unveiled two Falken models: the Wave Falken and the Coral Falken (pictured), which features a brushed gold case holding a crisp white dial with a pastel pink mini dial and navy blue hands. Opt for a Tärnsjö organic leather strap or a leather strap with embroidered detailing for a timepiece with a difference. Triwa Coral Falken watch, SEK 1,695, Triwa, Grev Turegatan 13, 114 46 Stockholm, +46 (0)7 0140 8957, triwa.com

MAEN

TID

The brainchild of two Dutch people who met after relocating to Stockholm, Maen is a very new entrant on the Swedish watch scene, having launched in autumn 2016. Maen means ‘moon’ in old Dutch, and the brand’s first model is fittingly called Classic Moonphase. The timepiece features a moonphase complication and a rotating disk which enables the wearer to track the waxing and waning of the moon through an aperture on the dial. Maen aims to create pieces which focus on intricate details for a perfect result: the Classic Moonphase is a strong start for the brand. Maen Classic Moonphase watch in midnight blue, SEK 1,995, Designfirman Gamla Stan, Västerlånggatan 40, 111 27 Stockholm, +46 (0)7 0713 5573, maenwatches.com

With its No 1 Gold model, TID has pared the concept of a watch right back to basics. As a result, we are left with an elegantly simple dial of milled stainless steel with a gold ion coating, finished with subtle branding on the side. It may be extremely minimalist but there are plenty of options to choose from: available in different colourways, the adjustable strap comes in leather or leather-backed Twain, an environmentally friendly textile made from recycled PET plastic. With a studio in Stockholm, TID presents us with a decidedly Scandinavian watch. TID No 1 Gold watch with Mill Twain wristband, from SEK 1,795, TID, Torsgatan 59, 113 37 Stockholm, +46 (0)8 203380, tidwatches.com

Keeping It Simple.

Swedish minimalism is proving to be more than a passing trend. Hannah Lewis selects the designers to know this season

Above: Russian caption xxxxx qui officiducius ma nit fuga. Faccus in coreratus nistora nat quam aborecepere, et modi q

few years ago, it seemed that every style magazine was praising Swedenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distinct minimalist fashion. Trends move on, but minimalism has never been a passing fad for the Swedes. The nation and its creatives put lasting style firmly ahead of temporary diversions, and looking at the designs on the catwalks at Stockholm fashion week it is clear that this aesthetic is as covetable today as it was when Scandi-style peaked. The underlying concept of cool, elegant minimalism continues to define the best of Swedish fashion, and a muted colour palette 116

is always a firm fixture of numerous shows at Stockholm fashion week, becoming a style signature of many of Sweden and Scandinaviaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fashion influencers. For spring/summer 2017, Busnel continues its focus on clean silhouettes and luxurious fabrics, sticking to a palette of earthy and neutral tones. Sharp whites, milky creams and cool greys are grounded by khaki and navy. Outfits realised in one tone from head to toe allow for experimentation in form and texture: light summer knits sit beautifully on top of silk pyjama suits, and a boldly ruffled tunic looks relaxed over wide-legged trousers.

The beauty of this collection is its ability to hold back: nothing could be further from the extravagant clothes seen in Milan and Paris this season. Perhaps more than any other event, Stockholm fashion week consistently makes the case for all-white dressing. Stylein’s orientalinspired tailoring looks fresh and crisp in all-white, with the simple colour helping to avoid any hint of costume. L’Homme Rouge shows that men too can buy into the trend, with a coordinating waistcoat and trousers, finished on the catwalk with white two-strap sandals. Fashion-forward, yes, but the perfectly minimal shapes make a bold look accessible. Swedish designers rarely go all-out for print and texture, but when they do they know to keep the silhouette minimal. Ida Sjöstedt’s lipstick motif adds a splash of excitement to the classic shapes of her spring/summer collection. Elsewhere, her more intricate creations – which celebrate femininity through tulle, floral

appliqué, lace, embroidery and more – are realised in head-to-toe whites, creams and soft yellows. These are beautiful as bridal gowns, and Sjöstedt’s couture pieces can be made to order – book an appointment at her atelier in Södermalm to find out more. Stand was founded in 2014 with a simple aim: to make expertly designed high-fashion leather clothing at accessible prices. This season’s collection presents feminine, ruffled one-shoulder dresses and tops in black or white soft leather, proving the powerful impact that a simple concept can have. Colour and print are incorporated by way of a pink suede two piece and two slouchy leopard print coats, but at heart this is a collection about neutral colours and simple shapes made special by the use of luxurious fabrics.

Of course, not all Swedish designers stick to limited colour palettes and classic shapes. At Ida Klamborn, mesh vests, pink miniskirts with chocolate brown star motifs, and origamihemmed pencil skirts in bright red, all made an appearance on the catwalk. But the designer’s sports and streetwear-influenced collection still found its grounding in the style principles of Swedish minimalism. The mesh vest was styled over a crisp white shirt, the starred skirt paired with a slouchy sweater, and the pencil skirt’s unusual hem balanced by a nipped-in and belted waist. The balance of experimentation with tried-and-tested concepts results in pieces which fit easily into the wardrobe. Similarly at Whyred, bolder fashion statements are grounded by simple styling techniques, classic cuts and shapes, or the use

of muted colour schemes. An intricate dress with a double-layered bodice and patchwork skirt feels more casual because of the use of a simple colour scheme of navy, white and beige. A matching tunic and wide-legged trousers again embrace mixed fabrics but a cool stone colour calms the concept. A boldly graphic printed suit is cut to slim proportions, its sleek lines counteracting the busy pattern. Sweden’s designers – like those from many countries – continue to experiment each season, embracing new ideas, shapes and forms. But a distinct approach underlies the national aesthetic: less is more, and simple is elegant. And if the continued success of the nation’s designers is anything to go by, discerning customers around the world are keen for Swedish minimalism to maintain its place

fter the long and harsh winter, Swedes make the most of the warmer months by spending time in their countryside summer cabins, where they immerse themselves in nature. Many have no running water, heating or modern facilities, and these cabins mark a return to basic living. This simple way of life has an inherent romance and gives visitors the chance to enjoy never-toforget experiences. The tradition of spending time in your summer cabin is also popular with visitors to Sweden. Mia Stensgaard, a celebrated set and costume designer from Denmark, is a devotee of this type of holiday and each summer she heads to a small Swedish island with her family. ‘Living in the city, we love leading the simple life for two months each year in our Swedish summer cabin, enjoying the sense of wilderness amid forest, lakes and berries,’ she enthuses. Stensgaard has some tips for what to wear Previous page: cabins on the shore of the coastal village Kämpersvik Above (from top): Fjällräven spring/summer 2017; costume designer Mia Stensgaard who rents a cabin each summer

midnight sun, warm clothing and accessories are vital. Roll-necks are on trend and are ideal when in the Swedish countryside. A wide range of options are available, from the subtle women’s versions available at Cos and Rodebjer, to the bold, striped men’s designs seen on Whyred’s spring/summer 2017 catwalk. Blankets are another summer cabin essential. Scandinavia has a long tradition of blanket-making and provision: in the 1950s, blankets were provided on purchasing a Volvo car. The skill of crafting blankets fell out of fashion, but a number of brands are

while staying at a summer cabin this season: Swedish army shirts and trousers from Fristads Kansas when exploring the countryside, while for a party or a trip to a restaurant she recommends ‘a nice kimono-style garment, though the look is still very casual.’ Foraging is a popular pastime when visiting the Swedish countryside, which requires specialist local knowledge, and visitors are advised to find an experienced guide. With a comfortable high waist, Dr Denim’s Nora jeans will remain firmly in place when stretching to pick fruit or mushrooms. Roomy pockets are essential for storing the natural treasures you come across. Pinecones, shapely stones and cloudberries (known in Sweden as ‘the gold of the forest’) can be safely kept in the numerous pockets of Fjällräven’s utilitarian parkas, and you’ll fit even more into its celebrated Kånken backpack, while accessories specialist Sandqvist offers a minimalist and urbane take on this style of bag. For cooler days, and if you’re planning on going out in the evening to enjoy the stunning Above (from top): Fjällräven; Whyred, both spring/summer 2017

aiming to reignite the passion. Indigofera is best known for its artisan selvedge jeans, but beautifully designed blankets also form part of each collection. ‘Swedes, including me, like to spend as much time outdoors in the summer as possible, no matter how chilly it is. Blankets are indispensable during cool summer evenings,’ says Mats Andersson, owner of Indigofera. The blankets currently sold by the company are handcrafted at a small family-owned business in northern Norway using locally sourced wool, echoing times gone by. It’s also wise to be prepared in case of rain when out and about in the Swedish countryside, and Scandinavia excels at functional and fashionable wet-weather coats. Stutterheim and new-entrant to the market Bomärke have raincoats in an array of colours, from pastels to earthy tones. Complete your moisture-busting armour with a pair of Tretorn wellington boots which, as well as being comfortable, have soles with a good grip, making them suitable for hiking. While summer cabin life calls mostly for a practical wardrobe, there’s room for frivolity

too. Midsummer’s eve is a major event in Sweden and is embraced as an opportunity to dress up – visitors are likely to come across celebrations where traditional folk costumes are worn. For appropriate contemporary clothing, look to Rodebjer, whose kaftan and kimono silhouettes lend themselves well to Swedish summers as they can be layered or worn alone. One of the highlights of the resort 2017 collection is an ankle-skimming silk chiffon piece featuring a graphic arrangement of stripes inspired by landscapes and mountaintops. Swedish Hasbeens’ colourful wooden sandals are suitably festive, and are sturdy enough for those looking to dance the night away. Nygårdsanna’s aesthetic has a rustic, natural vibe that sits nicely in countryside settings. This season, utilitarian tweed garments appear alongside flowing dresses, some of which feature polka dots and floral Liberty prints. The collection sums up what cabin style is about – a practical foundation topped with a helping of carefree romance and an abundance of wild blooms

ravel outside of Sweden’s cities and into the countryside and it quickly becomes apparent that the landscape is abundant in one particular natural resource: wood. Birch, spruce and, most notably, pine have fuelled the national economy for centuries. In the Middle Ages, wood tar and other products derived from these trees were exported and later charcoal was supplied to the mining and metals industries. By the turn of the 20th century, logging had become an important sector.

Wood has had many domestic uses in Sweden. It was traditionally used on the soles of Swedish clogs – a style that has been updated by Swedish Hasbeens – and to make toys including dolls’ houses (for contemporary wooden toys, look out for the Brio brand while in the country). Sweden’s national symbol is Previous page: Stian Korntved Ruud’s 19 Counties project Above (from top): Swedish clogs; Designtorget birch chopping board

the dalahäst – a delightful red wooden horse with colourful patterns. Perhaps the most famous contemporary use of Swedish wood is in furniture-making, with craftspeople using the country’s distinctive light wood to create minimalist designs. However, in domestic settings, the love of wood is perhaps most apparent in the kitchen, and visitors to Stockholm are spoilt for choice when it comes to stores selling wooden cooking implements and dining accessories. Shops such as Designtorget and the store at Skansen, the capital’s folk museum, stock an impressive selection of wooden bowls, chopping boards, cutlery, brushes, spatulas, herring forks, coffee scoops… it seems that every imaginable accessory can be found in this medium. Special pieces are made from pear wood, which is harder than other woods and therefore less easy to work with, and are carved from a single piece of wood. Iris Hantverk started as a brush-maker in the late 19th century. Today, it has two stores in Stockholm and stocks a wide range of items for the kitchen, bathroom and garden, as well Above (from top): Iris Hantverk store on Kungsgatan; Iris Hantverk craftsmanship

as personal care items such as hairbrushes and toothbrushes. A standout item at Iris Hantverk is a simple yet elegant large wooden plate, which will suit any home. Since it started, the enterprise has worked with visually impaired craftsmen, and today five artisans based to the south of Stockholm in Sandsborgsvägen bind brushes using traditional Swedish techniques. The wide benefits of wooden utensils may have been forgotten in an age when our kitchens are full of high-tech tools. Wooden utensils don’t chemically react with acidic foods or leach into foods, they don’t scratch pots and pans, they don’t retain heat or melt, and they are extremely sturdy, particularly when made from one piece of wood. In addition, wooden utensils have an inherent warmth and are smooth to the touch, which is why they have a cherished place in Swedish kitchens and are sometimes passed Above (clockwise from top left): two Iris Hantverk homeware scenes; Designtorget cushions

down through the generations. Wood changes colour and even shape over time, gaining a patina through use, so a utensil can develop character over the decades. Stores such as Iris Hantverk reflect the high regard Swedes have for handcrafted products – whether silverware, hand-blown glass, wickerwork, embroidered goods, woven textiles or wooden items. The making of utensils in wood is recognised as a specialist art by Hemslöjden (the National Association of Swedish Handicraft Societies), which has promoted this skill for more than a century, and spoon-making in particular is a celebrated art: today, hand-painted spoons are given as decorative items rather than as functional pieces. The interest in wooden utensils can also be seen in other parts of Scandinavia: in 2014, Norwegian designer Stian Korntved Ruud decided to explore the extensive possibilities of the craft by creating a different spoon by hand every day for one year. Wille Sundqvist, a 90-year-old craftsman who makes spoons, ladles and bowls in Västerbotten, northern Sweden, is known nationally and internationally for his craft, as is his son Jogge. The Swedes take their wood seriously and there is much to discover for the curious visitor to Stockholm

Respected around the world for his sporting talent, Swedish tennis champion Björn Borg has gone on to create an impressive clothing brand. Ruairidh Pritchard reports

jörn Borg is undeniably among Sweden’s most famous exports. An extraordinary tennis player, he was ranked number one in the world from 1977 for four years and won the Wimbledon men’s singles championship five years in a row, a record only equalled, so far, by Roger Federer. He became an icon, not just for his sporting achievements, but for his looks, personal magnetism and sense of style. In 1984, with the help of Swedish designer Rohdi Heintz, the 120

tennis superstar launched his first clothing collection, a line of sportswear which reflected his own aesthetic and attitude. The enterprise was a success, but it was a daring step in a rather unconventional direction that changed Borg’s legacy forever: a venture into the world of underwear. In 1989, recognising a market for underwear that went beyond the conventional Y-front briefs that pervaded the men’s market at the time, the brand created the Classic Shorts 3201. These boxer shorts were made from 127

17 pieces, stitched together with flat-lock seams to create a faultless fit. They were a revolution in the field, providing support and comfort even for the most active men. Within a couple of years, Björn Borg underwear became one of the most indemand pieces of clothing in Sweden, cementing the place of the brand and its founders in design history. By the 1990s the underwear had become popular outside of Sweden, with fans in Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium and Australia. Today, the brand produces multiple collections of stylish and innovative men’s and women’s underwear, sportswear and accessories each year. Now a leading label in Sweden, Björn Borg is a major attraction at Stockholm Fashion Week each season.

S H O P | 75

For spring/summer 2017, the brand is honouring its sporting heritage with eight collections of crisp, stylish and functional sports-inspired streetwear, tennis apparel, performance apparel and swimwear, as well as several underwear collections. Across all of the brand’s output this season the main inspiration is, as might be expected, tennis. The key artwork is a collage centred around Borg and his sporting achievements: the letter B features, as do images and patterns of tennis courts, and the number 74, in relation to 1974, the year in which he won five consecutive titles. As Toni Marević, the brand’s head of design for apparel, explains,

‘White is the most important colour for the apparel collection, and we have worked with the racket shape and the court line in details.’ Central to the brand, and one reason why it is so popular, is the combination of sporting functionality and street-style credibility. This season, the label has taken this even further, with the inclusion of more fashionfocused, technical streetwear, ‘catering to the idea that you can go to work in your workout clothes, without looking like you are on the way to the gym,’ explains Marević. Always looking to expand its range, Björn Borg has introduced new lines

and has updated existing products. Performance underwear, designed with sporting performance and functionality in mind, has been added which features prints and colours from the main collection, while the swimwear offering has also been restructured to create a wider variety of options. ‘Our women’s swimwear has been almost completely revamped. You will find a broad selection of sports tops, bikinis, bandeaus and swimsuits and accompanying bottoms which all come in really strong prints and colours,’ says James Lee, head of design for the brand’s underwear collections.

Restaurateur Daniel Crespi and chef Mikael Einarsson are fierce proponents of the noseto-tail movement, which encourages every part of an animal to be used in the kitchen. Omakase Köttslöjd is, therefore, a bold concept. In this small space, diners are served a menu comprising 15 to 20 courses of expertly prepared meats accompanied by local seafood and vegetables. All the köttslöjd (charcuterie) is cured by the team, with other ingredients chosen for their freshness and seasonality. Food is served in a method inspired by Japanese cuisine, with similarities to sushi and also to kaiseki, an approach that favours intricately and beautifully arranged dishes. Consequently, home-made charcuterie is artistically presented and often finished daintily with an edible garnish. Awarded a Michelin star, the restaurant is very popular, so guarantee your table by booking in advance. Omakase Köttslöjd, Yxsmedsgränd 12, 111 28 Stockholm, +46 (0)8 5064 0080, omakasekottslojd.se

Sisters Julia and Linda Lundström opened Vina in late 2015 in order to offer the best European wines alongside simple, honest food. The bistro-style space is found in Södermalm, one of the city’s trendiest areas, and the restaurant has become a firm favourite among food-loving locals: Vina’s interior, with dark wood and marble, is designed to enhance the welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. The menu shows Swedish and international influences, with options such as smörrebröd (rye bread with different toppings), tapas, pintxos (snacks from the Basque area of Spain) and charcuterie. Main courses feature Swedish specialities – think roasted beef and cured salmon. Select your wine from the dynamic list, with advice from an expert member of staff if required.

technology; handmade Tuscan linen and fine leather are found alongside complimentary Wi-Fi, plasma televisions and Nespresso coffee machines. The Spa Il Salviatino has a two-tiered swimming pool and offers a wide range of relaxing treatments and massages. La Cucina restaurant, under the direction of chef Carmine

BATTY LANGLEY’S Those in search of British eccentricity and historical flourishes will find what they are seeking at Batty Langley’s in Spitalfields, east London. The 29 rooms and suites include the Kitty Fisher, named after an 18th-century century courtesan, and the globalblue.com

two-level Earl of Bolingbroke, which has its own luggage lift. Furnishings include opulent four-poster beds, wood panelling and rich, jewel-toned damask fabrics. Soak in the generous cast-iron roll-top baths, or relax in front of the large flat-screen TVs, which are cleverly hidden behind mirrors and in cabinets and writing bureaux. Even in summer, there may be a rainy

day in London – ensconce yourself in the hotel’s library, which is home to some 3,500 books. For a nightcap afterwards, the honesty bar in the Tapestry Room offers London-distilled Sipsmith gin and Berry Bros wines. Batty Langley’s, 12 Folgate Street, London E1 6BX, +44 (0)20 7377 4390, battylangleys.com

This season the Monki Originals line presents us with designs imbued with Scandinavian style. Organic cotton denim is jazzed up thanks to bow details and pastel shades of pink. Stripes are a recurring theme throughout the collection, be it in the form of the classic pinstripe or to give items a sporty twist. Pieces can be worn as separates or together and, last but not least, accessories add the finishing touch: backpacks, caps and sandals made of black satin balance out the relaxed, raw look that defines the collection.

ELVINE Founded in Gothenburg, which has the highest rainfall in Sweden, Elvine has become adept at creating stylish yet practical waterproof jackets. This season’s collection has some excellent options, including pastel-blue coats for men and pale-pink hooded trenches for women. However, there are plenty of options for sunny days too, which this season have been influenced by South Africa. Graphic bold prints are applied to silk bomber jackets for women and more subtle graphic prints can be seen on similar styles for men. Come rain or shine, Elvine has got you covered.

12 HOURS IN STOCKHOLM 10am Start the day with a pastry or an open-faced sandwich from Green Rabbit, a bakery that makes the most delicious rye bread using organic flour. Founded by notable chef Mathias Dahlgren along with Martin Berg, this great little café and bakery is clearly a labour of love and the care taken by the team shines through in all of its creations. 12pm Explore the many shopping options around Birger Jarlsgatan. The area is home to a host of Sweden’s leading labels including Rodebjer, Whyred, Byredo and Sandqvist. Stock up on quirky sandals from Swedish Hasbeens and jeans by Nudie on Jakobsbersgatan before heading to Cow Parfymeri for the latest beauty launches from a variety of brands.

3pm Spend the afternoon exploring Skansen, an open-air museum founded in 1891 which gives an insight into 500 years of Swedish history. Leave time to visit the adjoining zoo, which houses Scandinavian animals including wolverines, lynxes and grey seals. 7pm For a truly memorable meal, visit Operakällaren, whose main dining room is often cited as one of the most beautiful in Sweden. Explore the à la carte options, or push the boat out with the tasting menu and be sure to sample the restaurant’s own champagne and aquavit.

RITUALS This season, accomplished beauty brand Rituals has updated its make-up range. Inspired by Cleopatra, the collection includes Sun Glow gloss powder in two new colours, which will give a touch of shimmer to summery cheeks, while additional shades have been introduced to the brand’s Lighten Up highlighter and Precious foundation. Rituals’ moisturising and subtly glossy lipsticks are available in 10 colours and now feature pulverised ruby, allowing them to last for 24 hours. While in the store, look out for the fresh range of lip glosses. Rituals, Mood Gallerian, Regeringsgatan 48, 111 56 Stockholm, +46 08 200148, rituals.com FOR M A P GO TO PAGE 98

TRANSLATIONS 美文翻译 48: Keeping It Simple 保持简约事实证明，瑞典式的极简风格并非明日黄花。Hannah

Lewis带您了解本季值得关注的设计大师几年前，似乎每家时尚杂志都在称赞瑞典独树一帜的简约时尚风格。潮流虽在演进，极简艺术对瑞典人来说却绝非心血来潮。在这个国度，持久的风格绝对优先于即逝的潮流。放眼斯德哥尔摩时装周的秀场便能一目了然，这种审美如今依然广受追捧，相较于北欧风潮的鼎盛时期热度不减。冷酷、优雅的极简主义设计风格及其背后理念依然定义着瑞典时尚的精髓。在斯德哥尔摩时装周上，喑默的配色永远是众多大秀的标配，亦成为许多瑞典和北欧时尚大牌的标志性风格。2017春夏系列中，Busnel坚持采用简朴而中性的色调，清晰的轮廓与奢华的面料依然是品牌的焦点。卡其和藏青底布上搭配亮白、奶黄和冷灰色，从头到脚虽然都是同色系，却以不同的造型与质地混搭：丝绸睡衣搭配夏季薄款针织衫，优美迷人；阔腿裤则配以张扬褶皱的宽松外套，造型随意。该系列的美感在于其简约含蓄：极简风格依然盛行于本季的米兰和巴黎时装周。斯德哥尔摩时装周上总少不了全白造型，这种坚持或许在其他秀场难以看到。Stylein从东方汲取灵感进行裁剪，纯白用色显得尤为清新利落。L’Homme

Rouge则显示了男装的简约风采 — —只需一套配搭协调的马甲与裤装，再搭配一双白色的双带凉拖。这几套造型大胆前卫，但又简约易穿。瑞典设计师很少为印花和质地倾注全力，但在决意去做时，他们深知该如何保持简约的风格。Ida

Sjösdet的唇膏图案便为其春夏系列的经典外形增添了一抹令人激动的元素，而在其他作品之中，她的创意更为错综复杂 — —从头到脚采用白色、奶黄和柔黄配色，通过薄纱、花卉贴饰、蕾丝和刺绣等细节彰显女性风采。除了这些美丽的嫁衣，您还可以订购 Sjösdet

Södermalm的 Ida Sjösdet 工作室。成立于 2014年的 Stand秉承着一个简单的目标：以亲民的价格、精妙的设计制作高端时尚皮革服饰。在本季的系列中，柔美的褶皱单肩裙以及黑色或白色软皮制成的上衣设计，概念简单，却吸人眼球；又如粉色的绒面革两件套搭配宽松的豹纹外套，色彩与印花被融为一体。归根到底，这个系列的精髓在于： globalblue.com

通过奢华面料的运用，令中性色彩与简约外形变得与众不同。当然，并非所有的瑞典设计师都执着于有限的色调与经典外形。放眼 Ida Klamborn品牌，网眼背心、饰以巧克力棕色星星的粉色迷你裙、亮红色折纸卷边铅笔裙纷纷在秀场亮相。不过，这位设计师出品的运动风和街头风系列依然立足于瑞典简约至上的造型原则。网眼背心搭配挺括的白色衬衫，星光点缀的短裙与宽松毛衣成对，铅笔裙独特的边沿则和掐腰系带细节相得益彰。该品牌在创新试验与历经考验的概念之间反复权衡，呈现出一件件百搭易穿的单品。无独有偶，Whyred品牌也立足于简约的造型技艺、经典的剪裁与外形，以及黯淡的色调渲染，借此彰显更为大胆的时尚宣言。设计精妙的裙装之中，因为采用了藏青、纯白与米色的简约搭配，双层上衣与拼贴裙围显得休闲雅致。成套的宽松上衣与阔腿裤再次选用了混合面料，但冷酷的岩石色呈现出沉着自若的时尚概念。印有醒目图案的西装裁剪利落、比例修身，优美的线条与繁复的图样形成鲜明反差。与其他国家的同行们一样，瑞典设计师依然在每个季节开拓试验，拥抱新的概念、外观与造型。但在这个国度的审美理念背后，藏着一种独特而鲜明的艺术手法：少即是多，简约即是优雅。全世界的潮客都热切期盼着瑞典的极简主义能够永葆辉煌。

Hasbeens在沿袭这个传统基础上将之更新换代。此外制作洋娃娃小屋等木质玩具的 Brio也备受欢迎，瑞典的国家象征便是 dala— — 一只饰有彩色图案的快乐的红色木马。瑞典木材最著名的用途莫过于家具生产，匠人们采用该国特产轻木，创造出各式各样风格简约的设计品。不过，说到家居布置，瑞典人在厨房中挥洒其对木材的热情。到了斯德哥尔摩，游客们可以尽情选购木质厨具和餐具。无论是 Designtorget之类的商铺，还是首都民俗博物馆 Skansen内的专店都有着琳琅满目的木碗、砧板、餐具、刷具、抹刀、鲱鱼叉、咖啡铲…… 但凡能想象出来的配件，似乎都能以木材制成。特殊的物件则采用桃木制作，通常由单块木材雕刻而成。桃木比其他木材更为坚硬，故而也更徜徉于瑞典乡间，您最好也要为阴雨天气做好准备。制作兼具功能与时尚性的雨雪外套正是北欧人的强项。

Stutterheim与新上市的 Bomärke品牌皆推出了一系列多彩雨衣，从蜡笔色到大地色一应俱全。您不妨再穿上一双舒适无比、抓地性强、适于登山的

Tretorn牌威灵顿靴，用一副完备的行装抵御潮湿的天气。居住在夏日木屋时，虽然需要的大多是实用性衣物，但来点花哨的款式也未尝不可。仲夏前夕，瑞典将举行一场盛会，这是一次盛装打扮的绝佳机会 — — 游客们可能会碰上庆典，欣赏当地人穿上传 PHOTOS (FROM LEFT): LIS KASPER BANG; COURTESY OF SNASK

2017度假系列中的一大亮点便是一件露踝的雪纺绸单品，点缀着灵感来自地貌风光与山巅美景的条纹图案。缤纷多彩的 Swedish Hasbeens牌木拖鞋很有节日气氛，坚固的质地足够让您畅舞一整夜。

Nygårdsanna的审美理念之中蕴含着一种天然质朴的气息，与乡村布景颇为契合。2017春夏系列中，实用的粗花呢服饰与飘逸的裙装一同呈现，有些还印着波点和 Liberty标志性花卉图案。该系列呈现了夏日木屋风格的点点滴滴 — — 在实用的基础之上，一束束野花在无忧无虑的浪漫氛围中开得正艳。

48: Keeping It Simple Сохраняя простоту

Ханна Льюис рассказывает о шведских дизайнерах, новые коллекции которых подтверждают модный статус шведского минимализма Несколько лет назад, кажется, каждый модный журнал считал своим долгом превозносить шведский минимализм в моде. Тренды продолжают сменять друг друга, но именно минимализм никогда не был сиюминутной прихотью для шведов. Эта страна ценит вневременной стиль намного больше преходящих тенденций. А если судить по коллекциям, представленным на Стокгольмской неделе моды, то эта эстетика явно осталась столь же востребованной, какой была на пике популярности скандинавского стиля. Базовое понимание спокойного и элегантного минимализма по-прежнему присуще лучшим образцам шведской моды. Поэтому для большинства показов на Стокгольмской модной неделе характерна приглушенная цветовая гамма, ставшая стильной особенностью многих законодателей моды Швеции в частности и Скандинавии в целом. Так, марка Busnel в коллекции весна-лето 2017 продолжает фиксироваться на чистых силуэтах и качественных тканях землистых и нейтральных оттенков. Яркобелые, молочно-кремовые и холодные серые цвета дополняются хаки и темно-синим. Комплекты, полностью выдержанные в одном тоне, оставляют пространство для экспериментов с формой и текстурой. Летние вязаные вещи прекрасно смотрятся поверх шелковых пижамных костюмов, а туника с оборкой образует расслабленную пару со свободными брюками. Красота этой коллекции – в ее сдержанности: вряд ли возможно нечто еще более далекое от миланской или парижской экстравагантности в этом сезоне. На Стокгольмской неделе моды постоянно появляются полностью белые образы, по крайней мере, чаще, чем на других модных событиях. Белые комплекты Stylein созданы под восточным влиянием и смотрятся свежо и лаконично, а простота этого цвета помогает избежать даже намека на костюмность. Марка L’Homme Rouge демонстрирует, что мужчинам также доступен этот тренд в виде

комплекта из жилета и брюк, который на подиуме дополняли белые сандалии с двумя ремешками. Да, тенденциозно, но совершенная минималистская форма делает этот дерзкий образ понятным. Шведские дизайнеры нечасто обращаются к принтам и текстурам, но даже в этих редких случаях они все равно придерживаются минимализма. Изображение губной помады добавило пикантности классическим силуэтам в новой коллекции Ida Sjösdet. Более сложные и замысловатые вещи, прославляющие женственность в тюле, цветочных аппликациях, кружевах и вышивке, полностью решены в белых, кремовых и мягких желтых оттенках. Они красивы, как свадебные платья, и могут быть сшиты по индивидуальной мерке: договоритесь о встрече в ателье Ida Sjösdet в Седермальме и узнайте об этом подробнее. Бренд Stand был основан в 2014 году с простой целью: выпускать детально продуманную и актуальную одежду из кожи и продавать ее по доступным ценам. В коллекцию этого сезона вошли женственные, украшенные оборкой платья с одним плечом и топы из черной и белой мягкой кожи. Это на практике показывает, какое мощное влияние может иметь такая простая концепция. Цвет и принт также отметились в коллекции с помощью розового замшевого костюма-двойки и двух объемных пальто с леопардовым принтом. Но все же основу серии составляют нейтральные цвета и простые формы, которые приобретают пикантность благодаря использованию качественных тканей. Разумеется, не все шведские дизайнеры придерживаются только ограниченной цветовой палитры и классических форм. Марка Ida Klamborn продемонстрировала на подиуме сетчатые майки, розовые миниюбки с узором из коричневых звезд и юбкикарандаши со складками в духе оригами на подоле. Для этой коллекции характерны влияния спортивной одежды и стритстайла, однако и она опирается на принципы шведского минимализма. Сетчатая майка была надета поверх белоснежной футболки, юбка со звездами оказалась в комплекте с мягким свитером, а необычная кайма юбки-карандаша – уравновешена зауженной

талией, подчеркнутой поясом. Подобное балансирование между экспериментом и проверенными приемами дает в итоге в вещи, которые легко вписываются в любой гардероб. В новой коллекции Whyred аналогичным образом более смелые модные заявления оттеняются простыми техниками, классическим кроем и формами или приглушенными цветами. Замысловатое платье с двухслойным лифом и мозаичной юбкой воспринимается больше как повседневное из-за простого цветового сочетания синего, белого и бежевого. Туника и широкие брюки, образующие комплект, тоже составлены из различных тканей, но холодный каменный оттенок делает этот концепт более спокойным. Костюм с сильным графическим принтом скроен в зауженных пропорциях, и ровные, выверенные линии уравновешивают интенсивность узора. В Швеции, как и в других странах, дизайнеры экспериментируют каждый сезон

124

и осваивают новые идеи, формы и фигуры. Но все же в основе шведской эстетики есть собственные правила: меньше значит больше, и элегантность заключена в простоте. И если непреходящий успех национальных дизайнеров – это критерий, то во всем мире ценители стиля желают долгих лет жизни шведскому минимализму. 54: Back To Basics Возвращение к основам Эмма Холмквист Дикен рассказывает о чудесной шведской традиции переселяться за город на лето и предлагает гид, как правильно одеться для этого После длинной и суровой зимы шведы стремятся взять максимум от теплых месяцев и переселяются в летние загородные домики, чтобы наслаждаться единением с природой. В таких дачах, как правило, нет водопровода, отопления и других современных удобств, и это знаменует своеобразное возвращение к корням. Такому простому образу жизни присуща особая романтика, которая дарит незабываемые летние впечатления. Традиция проводить лето на даче оказалась популярной и среди гостей Швеции. Художник-декоратор и костюмер Миа Стенсгаард из Дании – большая поклонница таких каникул, поэтому каждое лето вместе с семьей она отправляется на маленький шведский остров: «Мы живем в городе и любим на два месяца в году уезжать на нашу шведскую дачу, чтобы наслаждаться оторванностью от цивилизации в окружении леса, озер и ягод», – рассказывает она с особым энтузиазмом и делится советами, как лучше одеться для такого отдыха в этом сезоне. Для прогулок по сельской местности Стенсгаард рекомендует шведские армейские рубашки и брюки от Fristads Kansas, а для вылазок в ресторан и на вечеринки – «вещи в стиле кимоно, с которыми образ будет нарядным, но при этом не парадным». За городом шведы часто отправляются собирать дары леса. Это требует хорошего знания местности, поэтому гостям рекомендуется обратиться к опытному globalblue.com

проводнику. Для таких прогулок отлично подойдут джинсы Nora с высокой талией от Dr Denim: они останутся на своем месте, когда вы будете наклоняться за ягодами или грибами. На пути вам будут попадаться самые разные природные сокровища, и чтобы унести эти сувениры с собой, пригодятся большие карманы. Еловые шишки, красивые камни и морошка (в Швеции ее называют «лесное золото») можно прятать в многочисленных карманах практичной парки от Fjällräven. Еще больше для этих целей подойдет рюкзак: подходящие варианты есть у Kånken или более лаконичные городские модели – у эксперта по аксессуарам Sandqvist. Если вы планируете проводить вечера под открытым небом, наблюдая удивительный полярный день, вам обязательно потребуется теплая одежда и аксессуары. Водолазки идеально подходят для этого, и шведские марки предлагают их в изобилии: от нежных женских моделей у COS и Rodebjer до броских и полосатых – для мужчин у Whyred в коллекции весна-лето 2017. К предметам первой необходимости в летних хижинах относятся и одеяла. В Скандинавии создание одеял – это важная традиция со своей историей: например, в 1950-е при покупке автомобиля Volvo дарили одеяла. Сейчас это ремесло вышло из моды, но многие бренды стремятся вновь разжечь интерес к нему. Один из них – Indigofera: славу ему принесли джинсы из селвиджденима, но красивые одеяла также стали неотäемлемой частью коллекции. «Шведы, и я в том числе, любят проводить время на свежем воздухе летом как можно дольше, даже если становится прохладно. В такие вечера одеяла незаменимы», – утверждает Матс Андерссон, владелец Indigofera Prima. Одеяла, которые сейчас продает эта компания, сотканы вручную из шерсти местного производства на маленьком семейном предприятии на севере Норвегии, и это тоже дань былым временам. На случай прогулок под дождем запаситесь плащом, тем более скандинавские бренды умеют совмещать в них функциональность и стиль. Stutterheim и новая марка Bomärke выпускают дождевики самых разных цветов: от пастельных до земляных. Остается

ее одежда так органично вписывается в сельские пейзажи. В коллекции весна-лето 2017 практичные твидовые вещи соседствуют со струящимися платьями, украшенными узором в горошек и цветочными принтами Liberty. Эта коллекция воплощает самую суть летнего дачного стиля: практичность, дополненная беззаботной романтикой и цветением диких растений. 62: Out Of The Woods Постучать по дереву Джош Симс рассказывает о резьбе по дереву – старинном ремесле, которое и сейчас процветает в Швеции

дополнить эти доспехи парой резиновых сапог Tretorn: они не только удобные, но и оснащены подошвой с хорошим протектором, что делает их подходящими для хайкинга. Несмотря на то, что жизнь в шведской деревне требует практичного подхода к гардеробу, все же остается пространство и для легкомыслия. В Швеции принято с размахом отмечать день летнего солнцестояния, и это – прекрасная возможность нарядиться: как правило, на этот праздник приходят в народных костюмах. Современный национальный образ предлагает Rodebjer: туники с поясом и кимоно идеально вписываются в шведское лето, поскольку носить их можно как в несколько слоев, так и по отдельности. В этом году курортная коллекция марки примечательна ниспадающими до щиколоток вещами из шифона с графическими полосами, навеянными панорамами и горными вершинами. Яркие сандалии Swedish Hasbeens на деревянной подошве смотрятся празднично и достаточно прочны, если вы собираетесь танцевать ночь напролет. Марка Nygårdsanna работает в рустикальной, природной эстетике, оттого

Если выехать их любого шведского города в сельскую местность, то можно заметить, насколько богат ландшафт этой страны ценным природным ресурсом – деревом. Многие века национальную экономику питают березы, ели и самые распространенные сосны. В Средние века страна экспортировала деготь и другие древесные продукты, затем поставляла уголь добывающим и металлообрабатывающим предприятиям. К началу 20 века лесозаготовка стала важной отраслью собственного шведского производства. Активно используется дерево и в повседневной жизни. Например, из него делали подошвы для шведских сабо – той самой обуви, в которую вдохнула вторую жизнь марка Swedish Hasbeens. Для детей мастерили деревянные игрушки, в том числе целые кукольные домики (а за современными игрушками нужно идти в магазины компании Brio). Национальный символ Швеции тоже из дерева, – симпатичная красная даларнская лошадка с яркими расписными узорами. Но, пожалуй, самая известная сфера применения древесины в этой стране – мебель из светлых пород в узнаваемом минималистском стиле. В домашней обстановке любовь к дереву наиболее заметна, как правило, на кухне. В Стокгольме у путешественников никогда не будет недостатка в магазинах, специализирующихся на деревянных аксессуарах для готовки и сервировки.

126

которая прекрасно впишется в интерьер любого дома. В век, когда наши кухни населяют высокотехнологичные помощники, легко позабыть о многочисленных преимуществах деревянной утвари. Такие столовые приборы не входят в химическую реакцию с содержащими кислоты продуктами и не выделяют ничего в еду, они не царапают кастрюли и сковороды, не нагреваются и не плавятся, а еще они невероятно прочные, особенно если сделаны из цельного массива. К тому же деревянные предметы несут с собой природное тепло, изза их гладкости к ним приятно прикасаться. Именно поэтому шведские семьи с особой заботой относятся к деревянным столовым предметам и иногда даже передают их из поколения в поколение. Со временем дерево меняет цвет и даже форму, покрывается патиной по мере использования, поэтому спустя десятилетия предмет может обрести собственный характер. Подобные компании отражают высокое мнение шведов о ручной работе, будь то изготовление предметов из серебра, стекла;

Designtorget при Музее народного быта Skansen, и другие магазины продают всевозможные предметы: деревянные чаши, разделочные доски, ножи, щетки, лопаточки, вилки для сельди, мерные ложки для кофе... кажется, что все мыслимые аксессуары можно создать из этого материала. Особые предметы вырезают из цельного массива и часто используют для этого древесину груши, которая тверже других пород и потому сложнее в обработке. Компания Iris Hantverk была основана в конце 19 века и специализировалась на щетках. Сейчас у нее два магазина в Стокгольме и огромный ассортимент аксессуаров для кухни, ванной и сада, а также расчески, зубные щетки и другие предметы личного пользования. На протяжении всей своей истории компания приглашает к сотрудничеству мастеров с ослабленным зрением. И в наши дни пятеро ремесленников практикуют традиционные шведские техники обвязывания щеток, базируясь в студии Iris Hantverk в районе Sandsborgsvägen на юге Стокгольма. Один из ключевых предметов в коллекции Iris Hantverk – простая, но элегантная большая тарелка,

плетение из прутьев или ткани, вышивка или резьба по дереву. Национальная ассоциация шведских ремесленников признала создание домашней утвари из дерева прикладным искусством. Уже больше века эта организация отстаивает его интересы, а особенно – продвигает знаменитые расписные ложки: теперь это уже не столько функциональные, сколько декоративные предметы домашнего обихода. Интерес к деревянной утвари демонстрируют и другие скандинавские страны. В 2014 году норвежский дизайнер Стиан Корнтвед Руд ради исследования возможностей этого ремесла решился на эксперимент: в течение года он каждый день создавал вручную по одной ложке, не похожей на все остальные. 90-летний Вилле Сундквист живет в Västerbotten на севере Швеции и вырезает из дерева ложки, ковши и чаши. Его мастерство известно не только в стране, но и за ее пределами, как и работы его сына Йогге. Шведы серьезно относятся к своему дереву. Пытливому путешественнику будет интересно открыть для себя это ремесло в Стокгольме.

70: Match Point Поворотный Момент Шведский чемпион по теннису Бьорн Борг, известный на весь мир своими спортивными достижениями, продолжает выпускать эффектную одежду, – рассказывает Руайрид Притчард Бьорн Борг, бесспорно, считается величайшим теннисистом не только в Швеции, но и во всем мире. На протяжении четырех лет с 1977 года Борг сохранял за собой титул первой ракетки мира и пять раз подряд побеждал в Уимблдонском чемпионате в одиночном разряде, что до сих пор удавалось только Роджеру Федереру. Он стал легендой не только за счет своих спортивных побед, но и благодаря личному магнетизму и манере одеваться. В 1984 году в сотрудничестве со шведским дизайнером Рохди Хайнцом теннисист выпустил свою первую коллекцию – серию спортивной одежды, передающую эстетику и стиль Борга. Предприятие было довольно успешным, но

128

Недели моды. В сезоне весна-лето 2017 бренд вспомнил свое спортивное наследие, представив восемь коллекций, куда вошла стильная и практичная уличная одежда в спортивном стиле, форма для тенниса и купальники, а также несколько линий нижнего белья. Как можно догадаться, теннисные мотивы присутствуют практически в каждой коллекции бренда. В одном из основных принтов угадывается фигура Борга и его спортивные достижения: номер 74, отсылающий к 1974 году, в котором спортсмен получил пять титулов подряд, буква «B», а также рисунки и узоры теннисных кортов. «Белый цвет играет в коллекции ключевую роль, кроме того, мы уделили много внимания форме ракетки и разметкам корта», – говорит Тони Маревич, руководитель дизайнерского отдела бренда. Причина популярности марки кроется в умелом сочетании практичности и надежности уличной одежды. В этом сезоне бренд пошел еще дальше, представив удобную линию в городском стиле, которая «позволит вам пойти

настоящий успех пришел к спортсмену после того, как он решил выпустить коллекцию нижнего белья. В 1989 году, когда рынок был заполнен обычными брифами, бренд выпустил новую модель Classic Shorts 3201. Это были уже ставшие нам привычными боксеры, которые состояли из 17 частей, сшитых между собой плоскими швами для большего комфорта. Эта революционная модель идеально подходила для спортсменов и не только. За несколько лет белье Björn Borg стало хитом на рынке Швеции, обеспечив бренду и его основателям прочное место в истории дизайна. В 1990-х годах популярность марки вышла далеко за пределы Швеции и ее продукция обрела поклонников в Дании, Норвегии, Нидерландах, Бельгии и Австралии. Ежегодно бренд выпускает целый ряд стильных коллекций мужского и женского белья, спортивной одежды и аксессуаров. Занимая ведущее место среди шведских брендов нижнего белья, Björn Borg каждый сезон находится в центре внимания Стокгольмской

остаются самой популярной моделью из всего ассортимента нижнего белья. Их носят практически во всем мире, а шведы даже шутят, что у каждого мужчины в стране есть как минимум одни боксеры Björn Borg, и это не так далеко от истины. По мере того, как бренд развивается, привлекая внимание иностранных покупателей качественными и стильными коллекциями, подобная шутка может стать актуальной и для других стран.
