Fashion Scandinavia: Contemporary Cool
The title ‘Fashion Scandinavia: Contemporary Cool’ provides an insight into the impact of Scandinavian fashion design on a global scale.
The publication heralds a new movement in fashion – the arrival of Scandinavian designers onto the world scene. A region that is known for its design contributions in furniture and architecture is now establishing a name in the fashion industry.
The appeal of the Scandinavian fashion aesthetic lies in the simplicity, minimalism, attention to detail and high quality of materials that is iconic to Scandinavian design.
The title features over 50 notable fashion designers from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland, and includes well-established brands Acne, COS, DAY Birger et Mikkelsen, Peter Jensen and Marimekko, as well as emerging designers such as Ann-Sofie Back and Louise Sigvardt. Despite the number of British or internationally educated designers, what prevails is an aesthetic that can be described as Scandinavian.
‘Fashion Scandinavia: Contemporary Cool’ was written by Dorothea Gundtoft, a fashion stylist and writer. It is available through Thames & Hudson.
