A knitted house-dress, a knotted-robe and a men’s knitted suit-dress. These are just some of the extraordinary and amazing fashion pieces that were seen on the catwalk of Beckmans College of Design at Stockholm Fashion Week this season.
The Swedish Beckmans College of Design show is notably not only a graduate show, it also features the mid-Bachelor-study collection samples from second year fashion students, which makes it an interesting mix of work in progress and final collection pieces.
At this season’s fashion week, 14 students presented 3-5 innovative outfits focused on knitwear. Some of the names to look out for are Emilie Steele, Maria Melinder, Fanny Ollas, Josefin Arnell, Disa Treutiger, Carina Sahlin and Heidi Nilausen.
You can read interviews with some of the students at Dazed Digital.
