Take a sartorial tour of Stockholm’s stylish scene.
Our top 10 highlights from Stockholm’s Fall 2011 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
Standout show
Whyred, for its verve and surprising wearability. Designer Roland Hjort showed painterly prints, form-fitting sheaths, tuxedo dressing and—just for fun—ankle-length accordion skirts in hot pink and black.
Best tongue-in-cheek
“Dancing Queen” remixed by the Sugarcubes at The Local Firm’s presentation of punked-up streetwear.
Hottest ticket
Hundreds of fans packed into the off-site Cheap Monday show. Standout? The red PVC mini-dresses worn over skinny jeans.
Prettiest beauty
Tousled hair, dewy skin and pale-pink lips at Filippa K.
Coolest ’70s reference
Camilla Norrback’s fitted rust-coloured trenches, reminiscent of Ali MacGraw circa Love Story.
Hipster catnip
Pacman sweaters at Dr Denim.
Vampire vibe
Models at NAKKNA in avant-garde capes and grey lipstick.
It girl
Stockholm native Frida Gustavsson ruled the runways at Filippa K and Cheap Monday.
Top accessories
The furry tote bags and ankle booties at Hope.
Next name to know
