For our Spring/Summer 2020 collection, we take inspiration from the solice and lush surroundings of Hammarby, Swedish scientist Carl von Linné's country estate outside of Uppsala. To Linné, Hammarby was a place of exploration, contemplation and beauty. This is where he went to get recharged and inspired, in between publishing his 70+ books and 300+ scientific studies. To us, spending time in the woods and on the fields surrounding Hammarby became an explorative journey, taking us back in time and closer to the wonders of nature than we've ever been before.

Highlights from our explorations at Hammarby are reflected in various ways across garments in our SS20 collection: you see it in the cargo pants, where the delicate jacquard flower print clashes subtly with functional, outdoorsy pockets and sharp cuts. You see it in the 18th century inspired necklines in our womenswear blazers and tops, which are a flirt with the dresses worn by Linné's daughters; and you see it in the seasonal herbarium - and splash color prints, which take direct inspiration from the wallpapers inside of Hammarby.
