"I’m interested in how groups of kids mirror each other's look
and wear certain items for a
sense of belonging. When we put these looks together, I wanted
to explore that short period
where there's that tension between individuality and the group
dynamic."
— Jonny Johansson, Creative Director.

A long-sleeve dress of beige boucle pinstripe is slashed and
twisted at the hip, as if turned
inside out. It joins a group of pieces in beige, such as utilitarian
trousers and shearling coats.
Various shades of sot double faced blankets are stitched
together with raw edges
for double breasted coats, while other blanket coats have been
twisted and folded over
the shoulder. Their sotness is contrasted with pants in body-con
metallic leather.
Band T-shirts are subverted with portraits of the back of punk
heads, rendered in acid
shades. These are worn with pieces such as high waisted and
fitted pants that flare slightly
from the knee, or masculine oversized coats.
Plaids are contrasted and clashed in a variety of colours and
textures. Traditional colourings
are put against special woven plaids in vivid shades for a series
of coats, dresses and pants.
Oten the plaids have been brushed for extra sotness, and many
of the pieces over painted
in white with an extra layer of check.
The effect of fire is created in a print of torn paper on velvet and
satin slip dresses worn over
sweaters, while raw edged embroideries of flames are beaded
behind to catch the light and
give body.
Leather sandals are worn with socks, while biker belts and
rounded boho bags complete
the look.
