Oslo Fashion Week SS17 : The Vikings Have Landed

by Omi

Oslo Fashion Week SS17 kicked off with the fanfare of a homecoming. Norway has been producing solid designers for the better part of the last decade without outright dominating the fashion scene in Scandinavia. But the new crop of designers on pre-show today suggested that the pendulum might be swinging in their direction. While it is not as big as Copenhagen, Oslo has what is necessary to construct a comprehensive master class in Scandinavian fashion. Today Anne Karine Thorbjrnsen along with Bror August brought the house down with their pre-collection. Along with Anne and Bror, Camilla Reinfell , Edda Gimnes were also on display. The movement of colors and see through fabric provided a strong sense of where the new generation of Norwegian designers are heading. The silhouettes while not tempered to look bespoke, provided a mixture of Norwegian functionality and a sense comfort of finally coming out of the shadows of its bigger neighbors.

Tatiana Andersen Camre SS17: Dance Yourself Clean

By Lotus Ladegaard

Tatiana Andersen Camre’s SS17 collection was another display of her unique touch and eye for beautiful bold prints in understated colors. The collection stayed true to her foundational philosophy of working with minimalist designs. Among her flowy and airy garments were a few more fitted pieces which created a nice contrast of contours. Ballet dancers danced their way down the circular runway in the inner courtyard of the historical Thorvaldsens Museum which made for a beautiful setting. While the show felt a bit long winded, it was still one of the better shows at the Fashion Week. The inspiration for her SS17 collection was the nine Greek muses which was not always easy to see had it not been for the beautiful setting.  Her bold prints in many ways makes up for the lack of intricate design, but it all feels a bit repetitive at times. All in all, it is a very wearable and sellable collection and Tatiana Andersen Camre yet again has managed to create a collection with garments for women of all sizes and shapes.
