C‘It is a summer that knows no aspect. Where the sun remains low on the horizon, the days seem infinite and the marine breeze does not give respite even in August. Welcome to the Nordic countrieswhere the summer suitcase is preparing on the contrary: no fluttering dresses, but intelligent layering layers, technical materials, cold shades and hot textures. The landscape, made of fjords, forests and diaphanous lights, called the mood of the outfits: sober, functional, yet charming. The ideal style? COMFY CHIC.
