STAMM
This fresh-faced Scandi brand, led by the visionary Elisabet Stamm, is founded on the belief that inspiration is omnipresent. Elisabet infuses the brand with her personal “low-high” philosophy. She frankly suggests that inspiration can strike anywhere – from the depths of one’s soul to the aisles of a local supermarket, from a memory to landscape. “Stay grounded (low) but aim high, and you’ll capture what’s meant for you,” she advises. Named after the concept of Scandinavian globetrotting, Elisabet reimagines Nordic design with a modern and couture twist, positioning the brand perfectly within the contemporary trend of a redefined luxury. The collection confront dualities and antithesis, and Elisabet crafts looks that are both accessible and luxurious, avant-garde yet wearable. Signature style notes include exaggerated silhouettes, balloon sleeves, and dramatic oversizing, all which promote a fluidity to the way we see gender, dress code, and hierarchy in fashion.
