Filippa K’s Rustic Scandinavian-Inspired Resort Collection
Counterintuitively, Filippa K’s urbane resort collection was prompted by rustic Scandinavian summers. “It’s very inspired by the needs or the dream of being somewhere close to the sea and the sky,” explained Anna Teurnell. Swedish country houses where “we often have blue and white marinière striped sweaters, very functional outdoor coats, warm clothes, and functional trousers” were also top of mind for the designer.
The most countryish look in the offering was a light-wash denim tunic worn with darker wide jeans. A bathing suit styled with a suede circle skirt had a citified nonchalance, as did the collection as a whole. Bringing polish to casual and career dressing is what Filippa K has always been about, and Teurnell continues to elevate and diversify the products. For men, she retains the popular pleat-front pant, but adds a skinnier, tapered option alongside a track-pants/trouser hybrid. She also co-signs socks and sandals for him and her. When it comes to dressing up, she did a satiny blouse paired with a matching slip skirt, as well as a tank dress with a slit up the leg and across the lower back.
There are many pieces to desire in this collection and also a good number of styling tips. The specific hacks include wearing a collared shirt backwards, letting one pant hem tuck behind the tongue of a two-tone pump, and layering bracelets over the sleeves of an airy trapeze-shaped car coat.
