.At the launch of Astrid Andersen’s brand-new line Stel, a discussion kept outside on a pier, The Street’s 2002 song “Turn the Page” was actually blowing up away from the stereo. It was actually a star-aligned, symbolic second, because the London-trained developer is starting a brand new chapter in her manner lifestyle, this time centering the work around herself.Andersen’s much marvelled at namesake menswear company was actually concentrated, multicolored, and also streetwise. With Stel, she revealed in a pre-show job interview, “I need to rest easily at the center of it perhaps a lot more this moment due to the fact that today it’s a women’s wear label, and it is actually more concerning me and my personal endorsements.” Stel additionally demonstrates Andersen’s advancement as an individual.
After ceasing her pipe, the professional returned home to Jutland in the North of Denmark and possessed 2 little ones. She’s certainly not the individual she was back then.Shifting gears in fashion is actually difficult to perform. Brands seem to take on lives of their personal, and it’s very easy to be pigeon-holed.
Stel breaks with a number of style’s customs. The tag is going to show in-season, so what appears will definitely be offered for investment. All at once, seasonality is actually lesser in the Stel formula than relevance.
Selections will definitely be actually recognized by number (01, 02, and also 03 were actually shown in Copenhagen), the concept being that you may come together items across “seasons” both in your wardrobe and also on the marketing flooring. Andersen observes no need for a thoughtful garment to be abandoned just because the schedule web pages flip. “The direct translation of stel is actually body system,” she stated, but it [refers more to] a foundational construct in a sort of industrial technique it [likewise defines] a collection of antiques– when you refer to a tea service, you will name it a stel.
For me, that was actually very an interesting beginning point in terms of the suggestion of producing both collectibles, however also something that’s a brand-new base.” Having models posture on scaffold was fortuitous as it recommends several metaphors. There’s building, which associates with constructing a brand-new brand name, and the thought of support associates with her idea that clothes must benefit you. Stel is actually, basically, a type of mobile offering, yet none along with the angularity of one thing like Legos or even piled Mu00e6rsk delivery containers.
Movement, firm, as well as empowerment become part of Andersen’s planning. “When I discuss the label, I have this tagline: customizing that you may roller skate in, denim you can easily dance in, shirting you may journey in.” Freedom, pleasure, motion.
