The innovation that arrives from the Nordic fashion scene finds a space in the Scandinavian Manifesto exhibition project, one of Pitti Immagine’s principal and most established international collaborations. Once again at this edition, a selection of collections designed by reference brands and up-and-coming fashion designers from Denmark, Sweden and Norway, renew the partnership between Pitti Uomo and Revolver Copenaghen, the fair platform for Scandinavian fashion brands. At the Costruzioni Lorenesi, Scandinavian Manifesto is an independent space designed to focus attention on a stylistic universe with unique characteristics. Here are the brands at this edition:
Soulland, Les Deux, Palmes, Adnym, BLK DNM, Wood Wood, Berner Kühl, Rue de Tokyo, By death.
Soulland
With design principles and aesthetics deeply rooted in craftsmanship, Copenhagen-based brand Soulland produces high-quality menswear with a timeless touch. Soulland is committed to supporting independent manufacturers and believes that sourcing locally creates healthier relationships and environments. Its philosophy aims to create garments with a contemporary and avant-garde imprint, emphasizing subtle touches, both in terms of design and materials.
BLK DNM
Johan Lindeberg's creative project was founded in 2011. The brand presents a clothing collection for men and women with a strong cultural identity, photographed by Lindeberg himself and exploring themes such as equality, freedom, politics, and art. The mission is to create wardrobe classics and develop timeless iconic pieces with a great fit. Among the must-haves: are denim pieces, leather jackets, and tailored styles.
Wood Wood
Since 2002, Wood Wood’s ambition has been to influence culture through contemporary, accessible streetwear and community-driven projects. To elevate the brand’s purpose, Wood Wood engages in special collaborations with established brands and independent artists to develop products and non-commercial activations — with each project encompassing live and digital experiences. The brand was founded in Nørrebro, Copenhagen, by Brian SS Jensen and Karl-Oskar Olsen and has since expanded to include stores in Aarhus, Berlin and London.
Rue de Tokyo
The Copenhagen-based brand combines aesthetics from two worlds. Inspired by Japanese design, it pays extraordinary attention to detail and strives for perfection. Meanwhile, it inherits from France a commitment to craftsmanship and a respect for the arts. Founded by David Andersson Sahlin in 2016, Rue de Tokyo stands out for its natural elegance and absolute timelessness. It is inspired by David's life in Paris, Florence, and Copenhagen. The brand uses natural and organic materials and some of the best fabrics in the world.
