Mercedes-Benz Stockholm Fashion Week took place last week. It’s a growing event that showcases the handful of mostly independent designers that characterize Stockholm. A majority of the brands in the line-up started out in the 21th century and that’s sort of the magic of Swedish fashion. You could expect these young designers to make their own rules and be experimental, but generally they don’t want to challenge the fashion world, they want to blend in. Fashion up north is straightforward and based on an indestructible pillar: simplicity.
