Helly Hansen Koster All-Weather Jacket image courtesy of Helly Hansen Inspired by the no-nonsense silhouettes of ’90s outerwear, the Helly Hansen Koster All-Weather Jacket brings back a classic—updated with technical precision and clean, graphic colorblocking. It’s the kind of jacket that doesn’t chase trends. It holds its own. Built with HELLY TECH® Performance fabric and a 2-layer waterproof construction, this piece is made for unpredictable days and everyday wear. Adjustable cuffs and hem, a packable hood, and thoughtfully placed pockets—everything is designed to move with you, not distract from you. In navy, sand, or jungle green, the palette is understated but intentional. Whether layered over a wool roll-neck or thrown on with denim, the Koster brings quiet confidence to cold, wet weather. A utilitarian staple, reimagined with sharp edges and a modern finish. www.hellyhansen.com

OAS Reimagines Södermalm Space with Debut Dye Studio and Creative Atelier photography Mikael Olsson This April, Swedish label OAS opens the doors to its latest venture—a sensorial blend of color, craft, and collaboration—on Åsögatan in Stockholm. The space, a familiar cornerstone in the brand’s narrative since 2018, now evolves into OAS’s first-ever dye studio and creative atelier. What began as an office, then a store, now becomes a site of transformation—both for garments and for the OAS ethos itself. Visitors are invited behind the veil of production to witness, explore, and participate in the alchemy of dyeing and design. “We’re opening up our world,” says founder and Creative Director Oliver Lundgren. “The Dye Studio invites people to experiment and create personal interpretations alongside us.” Handcrafted on Södermalm, each piece produced in the atelier is a unique expression—steeped in process, rooted in locality. Guests can reimagine existing OAS garments with bespoke color treatments, or delve into experimental design dialogues with the in-house team. Designed in collaboration with IMDA Studio and Lundgren himself, the space is both workshop and sanctuary. Throughout spring and beyond, it will serve as a platform for artist collaborations, drop-ins, and curated happenings—a living testament to OAS’s ongoing conversation between fashion and art. www.oascompany.com

Gabagool – a New Stop for Italian Food Lovers in Stockholm image courtesy of Gabagool Last week saw the opening of a new destination for Italian food enthusiasts in Stockholm. Gabagool, a new restaurant and deli focusing on authentic Italian flavours, opened its doors in Östermalms Saluhall, one of Stockholm’s most iconic food destinations.  Inspired by The Sopranos and the Italian-American term for capicola, Gabagool features fresh pasta and freshly baked focaccia as the centrepiece of its menu. Additionally, the restaurant includes a deli offering charcuterie, cheese, and other Italian delicacies. In the evenings, the atmosphere transforms, as the bar comes alive with a focus on aperitivo culture, featuring Italian wines and classic small dishes. The restaurant’s interior was designed by the architectural firm Skuggan and draws inspiration from Italian bars, trattorias and salumerias. “We want Gabagool to be a natural meeting place where guests can experience Italian food culture in an uncontrived, yet flavorful way. With carefully selected ingredients and a menu that changes with the season, we strive to offer a genuine and quality dining experience,” says Elias Karroum, founder of Gabagool, known for Beirut Café, among others. Now he is taking his passion for Italian food further with Gabagool, a conceptual whole where food, drink, and community are at the centre, the restaurant’s raison d’etre being the love of food and social gatherings.

PREMIÈRE GALON image courtesy of Chanel With PREMIÈRE GALON, the PREMIÈRE watch reinterprets the couture braid, one of CHANEL’s signature elements… and suggests a new lesson in style. The first watch creation of the House in 1987, the PREMIÈRE made its entrance into the world of watchmaking by liberating itself from masculine codes. An entirely new creation, choosing the octagonal shape of the N°5 perfume bottle stopper and adopting the leather chain from the iconic quilted bag as a bracelet. Born out of absolute freedom of creation, it swiftly became a bold reference in the world of watchmaking. Ever since, its timeless allure has stayed connected with the present. In 2025, PREMIÈRE borrows the braid from the CHANEL wardrobe, one of its most emblematic signature elements. Gabrielle Chanel applied braided trims to her suits to highlight the edges, decorate the pockets and wrists and thus structure the silhouette. Matching the colours of the suit, or making a contrast for a graphic effect, the braid is created in a wide variety of materials and techniques (knitted, woven, twisted). The PREMIÈRE GALON bracelet is a bangle made of a twisted braid that offers a new way of wearing. This 18-carat yellow gold bracelet highlights the purity of the black lacquered dial freed of indicators. And because there are as many braids as there are versions of the CHANEL suit, the PREMIÈRE GALON is also available in two versions adorned with diamonds. Retaining its resolutely couture spirit, this precious interpretation of the PREMIÈRE watch enters the world of jewelry.

Estrid Takes on the Face – A Sharp Move in Smooth Self-Care images courtesy of Estrid If your razor has been cheating on you—with your boyfriend’s grooming shelf—it’s time to end the affair. Estrid, the Scandi-born cult brand that turned body shaving into a rainbow-hued ritual, is now coming for your face. And honestly? It’s about time.
 Launching The Razor Starter Kit for Face, Estrid is slicing through the outdated idea that razors are gendered. Why should men get all the “high-tech” blades and close shaves while women are handed overpriced pink plastic? Spoiler: they’re the same blades, just dressed differently. Estrid’s new face razor is here to flip the script and maybe your grooming routine too.
 Equipped with a precision trimmer for those hard-to-reach spots, a soothing vegan moisture strip packed with vitamin E, and a cruelty-free conscience, this razor is built for the delicate dance of facial hair removal. Sensitive skin? Estrid thought of that too. Dermatologically tested and designed with Swedish minimalism and efficiency in mind, this little tool means business, but make it cute.
 The starter kit includes a sleek steel handle (yes, in those dreamy signature tones), two five-blade cartridges tailored for facial shaving, and a matching wall mount, because who said a razor can’t be aesthetic?
 “At Estrid, we don’t believe in ‘male’ or ‘female’ razors. That’s just marketing nonsense,” says co-founder and CEO Ben Eliass. “There are only good and bad razors. We make the good kind.”
 With pricing that won’t insult your wallet, 95 SEK for the starter kit and 129 SEK for refills, Estrid continues to democratize shaving. Whether you’re shaping brows, smoothing peach fuzz, or just in it for the silky satisfaction, your face deserves this level of care.
 So next time your partner reaches for their razor, kindly direct them to estrid.com. You’ve got your own now.

Sandqvist Presents: Curve image courtesy of Sandqvist A new shape emerges. Soft, sculptural, and unapologetically sensual — Curve is Sandqvist’s latest artistic evolution. A collection born from the natural arcs of the human form, from landscapes that move even in stillness. Four silhouettes. Generous volumes. Every fold intentional. Every line a gesture. Crafted from crinkled recycled nylon, the texture invites touch, while matte aluminum accents whisper a modern tension. “We wanted to create something that feels alive, even when at rest,” says Christoffer Dellstrand, designer at Sandqvist. “Curve is about embracing the soft, the human, the organic.” This is more than a collection — it’s a shift. From the refined minimalism of Agile (Fall 2024), Curve opens toward intuition and emotional form. The lines are looser, the spirit freer. Untethered from trends, Curve stands alone — clear, calm, and quietly strong. This is where Sandqvist’s new direction takes root: where design becomes emotion, and craftsmanship is art. www.sandqvist.com
