Filippa K is a Stockholm-based fashion house founded by Swedish designer Filippa Knutsson in 1993. Its ready-to-wear clothing, footwear and accessories have a Scandinavian minimalism design perspective with a sustainability mission. [1] [2]
History
Filippa Knutsson founded Filippa K in 1993 with Patrik Kihlborg and Karin Segerblom. Having worked at Gul & Blå, the denim label founded by parents Lars Knutsson and Martina Clason, Filippa started Filippa K as a way to meet her own needs, [1] and it was part of the Scandinavian minimalism fashion wave of the 1990s. [3] [4] The company has maintained a presence in the Nordics and parts of Europe since it was founded [1], launching a menswear line in 1998 [5] and expanding into active and leisurewear in 2011. [6]
Filippa K's Creative Director Liisa Kessler was appointed in January 2022 as the first successor to Knutsson, who stepped away from the role in 2019. [7] Kessler was formerly a designer at Yves Saint Laurent and worked at Parisian fashion houses such as Chloé and Y/Project. She has a dual Finnish and German background. [1]
Products
Filippa K's approach in the 90s was based around the ideas of style, simplicity and quality, with its first popular item being stretch jeans: low-waisted skinny-style flares with a form-enhancing fit. [3] Taking inspiration from Filippa K’s heritage, Creative Director Liisa Kessler has expressed wanting to redefine Scandinavian sensual minimalism for the modern day. [1] Kessler's debut for Filippa K was the Spring/Summer 2023 collection, a combination of casual, evening and tailored garments, [8]
Sustainability
Filippa K's vision of mindful consumption started in 1993, and the company developed a circularity business model in 2010. [9] [10] The collections include fibres such as organic and natural materials, and textiles such as recycled polyester, working towards producing an increased proportion of garments made from sustainable fibres each season [9] [10].
The Swedish Wool Project
Filippa K collaborates on sustainability projects with partners from other industries [10]. In 2020, the brand won the Drapers Award for Best Supply Chain Initiative for The Swedish Wool Project [11]. Filippa K created a traceable supply chain to turn the waste of wool from the Swedish meat industry into a resource with its Swedish Wool sweaters. The initiative has been scaled up with support from Axel Johnson Group to make the supply chain accessible to more partners. [12] [13]
In 2021 Filippa K collaborated with emerging Swedish designer Stina Randestad (Stinarand) to create a capsule collection of avant garde pieces made entirely from upcycled Filippa K garments and scraps. [9]
In 2021 Filippa K launched Preowned: an online resale platform through its own site in partnership with Archive. [14] The platform allows customers to shop and sell preowned Filippa K items and shop archive pieces from the brand. [14]
Stores
Filippa K has retail locations across Europe in Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Belgium and Finland. Its flagship store is located on Biblioteksgatan in Stockholm. [15]
