When scanning through the schedule for Stockholm Fashion Week Ubi Sunt wasn’t a name I recognised, but then this is only their second collection. I was blown away by the show, in fact I can’t think of many designers whose collections were so complete, so sumptuously well realised or exciting at this stage in their career. Minimal, chic, sophisticated, I could list a hundred adjectives – but really the clothes will do all the talking on their own.
The double breasted jacket was turned from ‘traditional’ into starkly modern when rendered in swiss silk blends, unconstructed, cropped and with hidden closures. Not to forget the draped jackets and wide leg wool trousers, all of which deftly straddled both classic and modern at the same time, which is no easy feat. Ubi Sunt, I salute you.
