NICKLAS SKOVGAARD
FW25 Press Release
Nicklas Skovgaard is a considered, luxury womenswear brand, with a strong elocution intending to delight through unexpected parallels. Founded in 2020, the Copenhagen-based brand aims to explore the relationship textiles can hold in expressing narratives through the marriage of unexpected material and classical form. Constructing two collections a year, each body of work for Nicklas Skovgaard builds upon the last, acting with an evolutionary purpose and building an ever-evolving vocabulary. Orchestrating these classical and strange symphonies within his eponymous textiles and recognizable design, Nicklas Skovgaard is a brand cultivated on the edge of romanticism and realism.
ROLF EKROTH
FW25 Press Release
Rolf Ekroth is an independent Finnish fashion label that champions utilitarianism, nostalgia and the power of sustainably produced clothes. Built upon observations of youth and life in Finland, it harnesses the subtle nuances of its Finnish roots but applies freedom to reimagining history and old crafting traditions. Comfortably perched between superficiality and profundity, it is an homage to the transformation that well-designed clothes elicit: a newfound will to walk through the world without hiding.
TG BOTANICAL
FW25 Press Release
TG Botanical is a sustainable fashion brand founded in 2021 by Ukrainian designer Tetyana Chumak. Tetiana's passion for nature stems from her upbringing in a family of Ukrainian farmers. She returned to her roots during the first quarantine and created TGBotanical, a clothing line where nature and technology are in harmony. The brand produces modern women's clothing with an emphasis on raw materials - hemp, linen, cotton, and nettle fibers. The clothes are dyed using traditional methods and raw materials. TG Botanical uses experimental methods of dyeing fabrics with plant pigments derived from tansy flowers, acorns, onion husks and coffee beans.
