next major concept store

PRESS Filippa K continues to expand in Germany with the opening of a major new concept store in Hamburg, its fifth in Germany. As consumer demand keeps growing, Germany has become Filippa K’s most important growth market.

Filippa K launches a 400 m2 concept store in a beautiful three-story Jugendstil building in the heart of Hamburg’s most fashionable shopping district. The store will carry the full range of women’s and men’s fashion, shoes, bags, and accessories from Filippa K – known for a distinct Scandinavian design style that combines minimal urban elegance with high fashion. Since its foundation in Sweden in 1993, Filippa K has grown rapidly with concept stores in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Switzerland, as well as by 750 selected retailers worldwide.

Germany has become Filippa K’s most important growth market. In addition to the Hamburg location, Filippa K has opened several concept stores in Munich, Berlin and Düsseldorf. Filippa K is also represented by some 100 selected retailers throughout Germany, such as AVE in Stuttgart, Stierblut in Munich and Kadewe in Berlin and Munich.

”We have received a fantastic response from our German customers, and we are investing heavily in the German market. In the long term, we expect Germany to become our biggest and most important market.” says Jan Carl Adelswärd, CEO.

Housed in a classic Jugendstil building next to a small square, the new Hamburg location is reminiscent of an exclusive little department store with a grand entrance hall and exceptionally high ceilings and windows that create a bright, elegant ambience of style, simplicity and quality.

Designed by Aaro Arkitekter, the unique architecture expresses the essence of the Filippa K design philosophy: a stylish combination of classic elegance, serene minimalism and contemporary urban edge. Mixing the classic with the contemporary, the majestic former auction hall has been carefully updated to a stylishly modern Filippa K concept store. The original whitewashed stone walls and stucco have been juxtaposed with modern ash wood floors, minimal white interiors and edgy details such as concrete, platinum backdrops and silk drapes.

Located on Hohe Bleichen 28, the new store will launch with a large opening event on May 8th for a select group of guests from the Hamburg fashion, media, music and art scene. The next day, the store opens its door to the public.

Fashion Show

at the Royal Swedish Opera

PRESS Filippa K showed its upcoming fall/winter 2008 collection yesterday in the magnificent Golden Foyer at the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm – a contrast-rich setting for the new collection’s stylish blend of classic elegance and urban 70’s punk. The fashion show also marked the starting point for a partnership between Filippa K and the Royal Swedish Opera.

The new collection’s playful combination of urban youth and timeless elegance was reflected in the contrast between a modern fashion show and the legendary Golden Foyer of the Royal Swedish Opera. 20 models, styled by Robert Rydberg, showcased the new collection to a select group of guests and members of the international fashion press.

“This is a very exciting collection for us, influenced by early seventies England and full of funky contrasts between early punk and classic English refinement, with a dash of humor and sense of not taking yourself too seriously. Imagine a stylish young Lord or Lady in the early seventies who’s gone totally punk.” said Rasmus Wingårdh, Creative Manager.

Inspired by Velvet Underground’s singer Nico, the Filippa K Woman collection is a style conscious fusion of masculine and feminine elements, letting rebellious punk meet girlish sensuality in the clean, simple design language we associate with Filippa K Woman.

The theme for the Filippa K Man collection is rough elegance. Mixing the classic English with the early days of punk, in its subtler “The Clash” variation with slim fits and playful mix of patterns, rather than hardcore safety pins and shiny studs. All brought together by the marquee sense of Filippa K simplicity.

The use of the Golden Foyer as the location for the fashion show also launched a long-term partnership with Filippa K as the Official Partner to the Royal Swedish Opera during 2008.

“The partnership between Filippa K and the Opera clearly symbolises what Filippa K stands for – the exciting meeting between the modern and the timeless. The Golden Foyer was the perfect place to show this new collection, which is an exciting re-interpretation of our core values style, simplicity and quality.” said Jan Carl Adelswärd, CEO.

There is a sophisticated, minimalist elegance to the space, juxtaposed with decorative de- tails and natural materials to create a peaceful ambience of style, simplicity and quality.

The Netherlands has become Filippa K’s largest market outside of Scandinavia and the company plans to further continue its expansion in the Netherlands. In addition to the concept stores in Rotterdam and Amsterdam, the company is already looking at the Hague. Filippa K is also represented by some 76 selected retailers throughout the Netherlands.

The store’s unique outline is a 40 meters long sequence of rooms with varying shapes and light designs. From the entrance on the street, the store runs like a river across two backyards all the way to another building across the yard. Inside, there is a tranquil ambience of minimalistic elegance with generous skylights, subdued white walls and natural materials.

Spring/Summer 2008

Filippa K — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 09:40:38 +0000

presented at unique water reservoir

PRESS Last night, Filippa K presented its spring/summer 2008 show under the massive columns of the monumental Ugglevik Reservoir in Stockholm. This unique neoclassical concrete structure offered an effective setting for a playfully colourful new collection rich in contrast, inspired by the American Fifties, contemporary action sports and artist Mark Rothko.

The show’s magnificent location is one of Stockholm’s best kept secrets: Paul Hedkvist’s gigantic neoclassical water reservoir high up on a forested hill in the Royal Djurgården park – a monumental Parthenon-inspired concrete structure from 1935, which enormous water tank stands 20 meters above ground on 64 massive concrete columns.

Bordered by a 94 meters long u-shaped catwalk, the audience was sitting under the reservoir on an elevated platform in the middle of the enormous 2600 m2 outdoor room. Against a 230 m2 white fabric backdrop, 30 Robert Rydberg-styled models showcased the collection to over 500 exclusive guests, including several key members of the international fashion press, who had flown to Stockholm for the occasion.

“This collection is a lot about contrasts. Sporty, military elements meet the airy, the classical, the elegant. So what better setting for this show than something as full of contrasts as a giant neoclassical concrete reservoir in the middle of Stockholm?” says Filippa Knutsson, Creative Director.

The upcoming Filippa K Woman collection is full of playful contrasts between sporty functionalism and classical elegance in both materials and cuts, with details from the world of sports parachuting as well as bold colour effects inspired by the paintings of Mark Rothko.

The Filippa K Man collection is casually masculine with strong influences from the rockabilly, biker and army aesthetics of the American fifties.

Filippa K is also represented by some 100 selected retailers throughout Germany, such as Feldenkirchen in Hamburg, Fashion Clinic in Düsseldorf and Stierblut in Munich.

Within four years, we plan to have at least 12 Filippa K stores in Germany and are already looking at Hamburg, Cologne, Bonn and Dortmund”, says Anders Wiberg, Managing Director.

Designed by AARO Arkitekter, the Düsseldorf flagship store not only carries the entire range of Filippa K lines, its very architecture embodies the distinct Filippa K design style of combining minimal urban elegance with contemporary edge.
