Filmmaker & Art Director
Daylight by Igor Zimmermann
Igor Zimmermann is someone you can expect to see more of in the near future, recently awarded for his work, he is although still fairly unknown to many.
When we came across his work through the video ‘Daylight’ we instantly knew that this was someone we wanted to work with. Igor’s expression is just beautiful and moved us in a way that made us certain that he was someone we wanted to interpret and communicate the essence of Filippa K through visual arts.
We were so pleased to find out that he felt the same way and as the collaboration progresses we will keep you updated here with parts of the work in progress.
‘Daylight’ will be shown at Jeu De Paume, National museum in Paris as part of A Shaded view of Fashion by Diane Pernet, 26-28th of September.

Paeonia Lactiflora
Few flowers provide such a touch of old world charm and romance in a busy urban climate as the peony. Lush in milky, dusty colours they line the windows in our office as soon as the seasons allow it.

our brave new world
Filippa K.com has changed costume and will from now on be a forum for inspiration, information and interpretation.
Filippa K.com is based on the belief that the customer, the audience and the artist all appreciate one and another and want to be a part of the same world; what we are aspiring for derives from the thought that you want to be closer to us in the same way as we want to be closer to you.
So that is exactly what we have done, we have opened up and we will be sharing our experiences as we go along. As inspiration is most often not a one way street, interaction has become a vital part of this new forum – thus, the site is created with a communications forum in mind. Remember, this is as much for us as it is for you.
Welcome to Filippa K.com, we hope you will be as excited as we are.

Fall/Winter 2008
The cold season always offer something special. The opportunity to play with layers and richer colours tend to bring out and entice your fashion sense whilst facing the obvious restrictions of weather conditions which demand a certain wear-ability and function. While challenging, tis’ really is the season to be jolly, but forget over the top naive glitz, for fall/winter 08 Filippa K presents a collection filled with attitude and relaxed British coolness. Our muses and icons have been the ever relevant Nico from Velvet Underground and Joe Strummer from The Clash.
Women’s Collection
Early 70s punk with its streaks of girlishness, combined with pure rebelliousness, captures the essence of this collection.
It’s about the ‘punk within’ combined with the simplicity of Filippa K. The essence of cool and stylish lead singer of Velvet Underground, Nico.
We have focused on feminine details and expressions such as pointed shoulders, a narrow waist and shawl collars both for outerwear, jersey and knitwear. Leather details and strong print effects, combined with a skinny pant silhouette creates a rebellious touch. The ‘Halston look’ in jersey, with full length dresses, draped effects and deep cut necklines is also an important look for the season. Colourful tweeds are combined with shiny-matte effects in wovens, as well as melange yarns in knits. Central items of the collection are suit jackets, one tailored fit and a more edgy version with pointy shoulders, and under the knee, high waisted skirts. Shoes are super feminine and high heeled with a contrast in the cool M.C boot.
Collection colours are a mix of bright orange-red and strong turquoise and softer pastel hues: lollipop pink and shimmery light grey. A dark wine colour sets a base together with browns and beige.
Men’s Collection
Our inspiration comes from the early years of The Clash and their “Ska” approach to punk with Joe Strummer as an iconic person. This is contrasted by an abstract view on something very British and classic but done in a new, young and rebellious way.
