Hope unveiled their Spring/Summer 2011 collection during Stockholm Fashion Week on the 18th of August. The colours this season are olive, black, white and camel. I especially like their use of leather in the collection. Keywords for the collection: Functional, simplistic, versatile basics.

Whyred showed their collection for the 2011 spring/summer season at Liljevalchs Konsthall on the 17th of August, during Stockholm Fashion Week. For this collection, the design team has experimented with lots of different fabric finishes – fabrics with oily, metallic and matte finishes. Fabrics include silks, cupro and viscose. The silhouettes are slim and the colour palette is mostly different shades of grey and white with blue and brown accents.

Fashion week season is well under the way in Scandinavia. Last week Copenhagen played host to the first of the Scandinavian fashion weeks, next up was Stockholm Fashion Week which started on Monday and ended yesterday, and right now Oslo is hosting its fashion week with its last show scheduled for tomorrow night. A lot of collections have been showed at these three fashion weeks, and we’ve decided to highlight a few of our favourites. We will post these reviews in the coming days.

Filippa K - Spring/Summer 2011
The collection we have decided to review first is from the Swedish clothing label Filippa K. The label was founded in 1993 by Swedish designer Filippa Knutson. Over the years Filippa K has become synonymous with simple, sophisticated silhouettes and minimalistic design – a Scandinavian Calvin Klein. Next season’s collection is no different. Simple, plain and wearable basics.

Filippa K - Spring/Summer 2011
The materials used are soft silks, cashmere, jersey and relaxed cottons. While last season’s palette was dominated by muted grays with accents of pastel pink and turquoise, this season’s colour palette is white, light grey and beige with warm orange, yellow and brown accents. The 90′s seems to be the biggest inspiration behind this collection, as indicated both by the colour palette, the silhouettes and design details such as the cargo style pockets on the trousers. The result is a simple and clean look, perfect staple pieces for the spring/summer 2011 wardrobe.
