Stine Goya Faucets Helena Christensen For SS24 Runway

The cardinal rule of any get together is ‘by no means present up empty handed’. What then of the hoards of Scandi fashion savants who flocked to the nineteenth Century ‘Potato Rows’, a string of terraces nestled within the embankment of Østre Anlæg park and Sortedam Lake on Copenhagen’s metropolis edge, for Stine Goya’s Spring/Summer 2024 collection?

Of their palms, somewhat than bottles of pure wines or candy Danish pastries to present our hostess, revellers sported crescent-shaped purses that includes Goya’s signature letter ’S’ deal with. In my very own, or somewhat, wrapped round them,  I had nothing however a curated stack of Pandora’s new studded chain bracelets Danish jeweller’s lavish soiree from the evening before.

The rationale for our lack of decorum, or collective ‘get together foul’, was as a result of Goya had merely supplied every thing one would ever want for a road get together: a primary location emblematic of Danish finishes, tables adorned with Helle Mardahl’s candy-esque glassware and silvery trays of equipment transcended in pastel color jelly à la Dwight’s stapler from The Workplace.

Most significantly, Goya had supplied the final word leisure, a high-energy runway present competing with Copenhagen’s authentic cool-girl.

Even earlier than we took our rain-soaked seats within the Østervold road, full with darkish plum beer and lemon ciders, gaggles of neighbours gathered on their second-story balcony and peered out of their slanted home windows, contributing to the dynamic vibrancy of Goya’s locals-only present and bringing the world to her doorstep.

Paying homage to the shared expertise of Eckersbergsgade, Goya sartorially referenced the signature inner-city uniform of Copenhagen, in flip, recontextualising beliefs of sanctuary and oasis by means of practical clothes designed for on a regular basis actions.

After all, once you’re an inhabitant of the Danish capital, this way of life entails after-work drinks at Apollo on Nyhavn, matcha lattes at Sonny Café or ambles by means of Jerome Vintage. This miscellany of actions requires an equally versatile apparel, one that’s rooted in ease and luxury.

Luxurious materials and cushty silhouettes that rival your pure environments had been on the core of the vary, subverting Goya’s typical experimentation for items extra standard. In Goya’s idealised world, quintessential Scandi style options magenta hues, slightly-flared tailor-made trousers, box-shaped outerwear-saturated attire and subversive particulars.

Hues ranged from sky blues to magenta pinks and digital lilacs, all underpinned by charcoal blacks, sandy neutrals and floral prints, making the shades an apt praise to the colorful façades of Copenhagen’s nooks and crannies.

However it wouldn’t be a tribute to the on a regular basis Danish darling with out an endorsement from the unique Copenhagen cool-girl, supermodel Helena Christensen.

Not solely did the 90s icon co-sign Goya’s assortment, however she additionally co-signed the vary by closing the gathering in an asymmetrical shiny blue midi costume and blue suede mules.

Although the gathering got here on day three of a four-day style week, Goya masterfully achieved welcoming us into her home, making us really feel at residence. Oh, and permitting us to rain her masterfully-curated Scandi wardrobe.
