Dagmar’s Fall Collection Debuts in New York
The Setting: A Harmonious Blend of Architecture and Design
The showcase of Dagmar’s latest collection took place in an inspiring atmosphere at WSA’s test kitchen. Here, the emphasis on a modern aesthetic was highlighted by glass tables and sleek metal furnishings, setting the perfect backdrop for presenting the fall line. Creative director Sofia Warrentam, who traveled from Stockholm, put forth a display that exemplified the brand’s commitment to innovative design.
Inspiration Behind the Collection
Sofia Warrentam, an avid art collector, drew inspiration from the artistry of Mathias Van Arkel. A striking sculptural piece, prominently featured in her home, serves as a testament to her aesthetic vision. Interestingly, while the current bestseller is a new standout piece, a few seasons ago it was Dagmar’s oversized blazers that captured the attention of women seeking stylish tailoring.
Key Pieces and Tailoring Innovations
Tailoring remains a cornerstone of Dagmar’s offerings, with standout items such as the Nut Charcoal Pinstripe Three-Piece Ensemble, which includes coats and pant suits designed for the modern woman. The introduction of softer elements, such as a chiffon bow blouse paired with a straight leather coat, showcases a contemporary approach to classic silhouettes.
2024 Circle Theme and DEFLation Process
Wallenstam and her team explored a fresh direction for the brand with the 2024 Circle theme, marking a departure from the more rigid styles of previous seasons. The collection features wool felt pants designed for comfort, with styling reminiscent of a tracksuit, perfectly complemented by a Bruson jacket that exhibits a graceful silhouette. This combination accentuates the circular patterns the theme draws upon, while a cashmere cardigan adds a cosmopolitan flair.
