”Nobody ‘Cept you”
Poetic perfection by a man who’s lyrics has transformed the public consciousness of generations past, present and future. For you, here’s a draft from the lyrics of Bob Dylan’s “Nobody ‘Cept You”
There’s nothing ’round here I believe in
‘Cept you, yeah you
And there’s nothing to me that’s sacred
‘Cept you, yeah you
You’re the one that reaches me
You’re the one that I admire
Every time we meet together
My soul feels like it’s on fire
Nothing matters to me
And there’s nothing I desire
‘Cept you, yeah you
Nothing ’round here I care to try for
‘Cept you, yeah you
Got nothing left to live or die for
‘Cept you, yeah you

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.

unveiled at the Royal Swedish Opera’s Golden Foyer

“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.

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.
