TEMPORARY Twist − 2020 − Inspired by the untouched textures and muted hues found in the natural world, SS20 pays tribute to all things found in the great outdoors. From wild, painterly florals and trailing vines to burnt sienna earth and smooth, polished stones, SS20 promotes a return to nature in all its forms. Silhouettes are suitably free and fluid with relaxed urban cuts marking a focus on off-duty glamour. Sheer, blousy layers are the perfect foundation for a contemporary Summer look, contrasted with supple, rich textures and delicate details in the form of sequins and velvet. Irresistibly feminine with our signature bohemian spirit, these are pieces made for adventure. Our muse spends days exploring undiscovered terrain, tiptoeing across pebbled streams and picking wild blooms under the warm glow of the midday sun. Her evening attire is languid and charmingly pretty, with delicate florals motifs dancing amongst stripes and abstract graphics. Unpredictable, uncontrived and imbued with a nomadic spirit.

SURFACE Nature Imagine a raw and rough vista, framed by weather-beaten rock faces and a sea of wild grass; Surface captures the organic textures of the natural world. Anchored by taupe and warm beige hues, it journeys through ocean blue and rich navy, accented by flashes of bold red, imagined in luxe velvet and silk. Dresses and loose cover-ups were made for movement, draping across the body with ease, whilst sequinned separates and patterned trousers take on a more polished edge. − Will be in stores and online from December −

Inspired by life Jannie Lymann, head designer of NÜ Denmark, has been integral to the brand vision since its launch in 1997. “NÜ is - and always has been - created for the woman on the go who wants to stand out, without making too much noise. The 2020 Spring / Summer collection is for the modern woman on the go. The clothes must allow her to be active, yet still feel fashionable and feminine. These are clothes that easy to dress up or down depending on the occasion. You can jump into a pair of sneakers and go for a walk, run through an airport or dress for an evening out with accessories and a pair of heels or boots.” As an international businesswoman, head of Nü design and a mother of 2 teenagers (and 3 dogs), Jannie understands the needs of a busy lifestyle. “I very much use myself and my own busy daily life to test our styles. I have always had a very high level of energy, and believe action speaks louder than words. NÜ is meant to support the modern woman’s lifestyle, so sometimes we exclude a style, because it prevents the woman from being fully comfortable and able to move as she desires. Then we will have to come up with something new.” 22
When not developing the NÜ brand Jannie relaxes surrounded by her family, boyfriend and good friends. For her, it is friendships, closeness and togetherness that is of most importance. “A fantastic party with great food, laughter with friends and family and lots time spent outdoors are wonderful elements in my book.” Although a natural extrovert at heart, she is sure to find a quiet moment every now and then to withdraw into herself:
“I genuinely enjoy painting. Not so much figuratively, but more color surfaces and structures. It is so rewarding standing at the easel while allowing emotions and creativity to take over.” Jannie lived in Dubai before returning to live in Mid Jutland close by the brand’s headquarters. Jannie loves the Danish nature, and a walk along the windy coast by the North Sea where she grew up is her favourite energy booster. “I love travelling, but Denmark will always be a part of my DNA. As I always say, I have equal amounts of gushing sea saltwater and wanderlust in my veins.”
“A fantastic party with great food, laughter with friends and family and lots time spent outdoors are wonderful elements in my book.” If I wasn’t a fashion designer I’d be: An architect. Best career advice I’ve ever been given: Never set employees to work in a location I wouldn’t work myself. What got me where I am today is: I’m a perfectionist. I don’t stop until I am satisfied that the work is completely perfect. I would work for free to: Help individuals who do not have the resources to move forward on their own. I do a lot of charitable work for disadvantaged communities across the globe, but I think it’s just as important to do the little things, such as reading the paper to elderly residents of retirement homes.
One thing I am exceptionally good at: I have a high level of energy and I’m good at seeing the bigger picture. One thing I am exceptionally bad at: Getting out of bed; me and alarm clocks are not friends. If I could live in a foreign county it would be: Bali, because of the diversity in both the nature and the people living there.
The change I’d like to see in my industry is: Much more sustainability. There is a lot of focus on this now, which is good, but everyone must step up and actively take part. Action speaks louder than words. Who do you admire and why?: Coco Chanel – She was her own boss, and followed her own path. She was confident, fearless and gave women the opportunity to be who they truly are. Last thing I binge-watched: Manhunt: Unabomber (on Netflix).

CARGO Desert Inspired by a warm and humid sandy landscape, Cargo Desert centres on a muted palette of green ochre, grey cigar and caramel cream, the shades of a hazy Summers day. Highly detailed with a heavy focus on pockets, a contemporary utilitarian vibe reigns supreme, balanced by feminine shirt dresses in fluid silk and classic midi skirts. Intricate bohemian motifs add a decorative edge, while sleeves are imagined in all guises, from turn-up to accordion pleats. − Will be in stores and online from February −

Inspired by nature Jannie Lymann, NÜ Denmark’s head designer looked towards the North Sea by Hanstholm in search of inspiration for a photoshoot which would capture NÜ’s tribute to the Danish environment. “I adore this particular region, in which I grew up close by. It has helped form me as a person, and I still visit here several times a year. As a child, we visited Hotel Pynten in Hanstholm for family celebrations. It is the most wonderful little hotel with an amazing view over the sea.” Now known as Hanstholm Madbar, the hotel and its surrounding views are as inspiring as ever. Hanstholm is steeped in history and is home to 19 concrete bunkers dating back to the early 1940s. Built by the German occupation forces along the coast of continental Europe and Scandinavia, they were designed to prevent Allied forces landing troops on the shores and to protect the airfields. “The coastline and the raw bunkers provide an incredibly fascinating contrast to the collection, however it is not just the visuals

we had in mind when choosing this location. It is also very important for us to remember the history behind these bunkers and learn from it.” In addition to Hanstholm, the National Park Thy is an equally arresting part of the Danish landscape. “I can warmly recommend a visit to Hanstholm, which is a really cozy little fishing town, and a visit to National Park Thy, which is a unique intact natural area.”

“When I first visited Skagen, I was blown away.”
Inspired by Skagen Skagen is a frequent retreat for NÜ Denmark’s head designer, Jannie Lymann, who champions it as a true haven of happiness and soul. One of the world’s most beautiful coast lines, Skagen’s sandblasted sand dunes, unspoiled woods with pine trees and heather-clad hills make for a truly inspiring vista. Small, cozy yellow brick houses and a sunlight that nearly always gleams, bring a sense of joy to everyday life to this seaside town on the most northern part of Jutland. Skagen is a frequent retreat for NÜ Denmark’s head designer, Jannie Lymann, who champions it as a true haven of happiness and soul. It is here that NÜ’s first concept store opened its doors 19 years ago.
I can take a deep breath and truly immerse myself in nature.” Undeniably relaxing, the atmosphere, the nature and the cultural scene of Skagen is something that must be experienced to be believed.
“When I first visited Skagen, I was blown away. Here is an exquisite place, where you can find the beauty of the North Sea and at the same time, enjoy the intimate, cozy town with small narrow streets and hollyhocks.

COLOURFUL Summer Colourful Summer is defined by its soft heather and dusty coral accents, detailed with ditsy florals imagined with the signature Nü spirit. Cuts are loose and relaxed with a folksy peasant aesthetic that feels suitably 70s in spirit. From double button detail to boho fringing, it’s the little details that count here. A stunning take on the natural world with a fresh, feminine spin. − Will be in stores and online from March −
