INUIKII FW25: Where Alpine Function Meets Everyday Winter Style image courtesy of INUIKII With its FW25 Mountain models, Swiss footwear brand INUIKII presents a collection that bridges alpine performance with contemporary lifestyle design. Created as everyday winter shoes with a technical edge, the range prioritises warmth, comfort and durability while maintaining the brand’s clean, recognisable aesthetic. At the core of the collection are the pared-back Mountain Boots, discreetly finished with an INUIKII logo at the side. Designed for women, men and children, the styles are made to move seamlessly through daily winter life — versatile, weather-ready and easy to wear. The line is expanded with Technical Performance and Platform versions, offering a balance between function and a more fashion-forward expression. FW25 introduces variation through texture and finish. Teddy-trimmed Mountain Boots add softness and comfort, while metallic styles bring a modern, lifestyle-led update to the alpine silhouette. Equally suited to snow-covered mountain walks, time spent at the chalet after skiing, or as a practical alternative once ski boots come off, the collection is designed for life beyond the slopes. Prices for the Mountain models range from SEK 2,299 to 2,699. With this season’s offering, INUIKII continues to redefine winter footwear by merging technical functionality with everyday wearability.

The crescent like form is anchored by a discreet interpretation of the Triomphe signature, offering a softer and more intimate expression of the emblem’s legacy. Crafted in soft grained calfskin and shaped using the meticulous sewn back technique, where pieces are assembled inside out to create a naturally rounded hand, the LULU is designed to move with the wearer. Available in black, rice and glacier, the compact shape shifts seamlessly between hand held ease, shoulder nonchalance and cross body practicality. More than an accessory, the LULU reflects CELINE’s ongoing pursuit of modern simplicity, understated, supple and quietly iconic.

Reijmyre Schnapps Glass images courtesy of Reijmyre At Reijmyre Glassworks, Svenskt Tenn’s deep green schnapps glass is shaped after an eighteenth century model. In the glow of the furnace, the glassblower gathers the molten mass and coaxes it into form with steady hands. While the glass still breathes with heat, the rim is trimmed with scissors, then returned to the fire until the edge relaxes into a soft and graceful line. Every gesture becomes a quiet testament to craftsmanship, patience, and precision.  svenskttenn.com

For spring 2026, the collection welcomes both new colours and prints. A soft light pink variation of the classic denim shirt and jeans, available in the Barrel and Wide fits, now features the house’s legendary Unikko floral pattern, originally designed by Maija Isola in 1964. This refresh brings a delicate, feminine energy to the iconic poppy motif. Joining the lineup is the rhythmic Keidas print, designed by Annika Rimala in 1967. Originally inspired by the pulse of youth culture, its ornamental energy now appears on the collection’s denim shirt and Loose-fit jeans, marking its debut on denim and showcasing Marimekko’s innovative approach to textile expression.  The collection offers four versatile fits: Barrel, Loose, Wide and Straight, each designed for easy styling. Crafted in alignment with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Jeans Redesign guidelines, every piece uses mono-material cotton and removable hardware to enhance recyclability. Innovative finishing methods, such as laser and ozone washing, replace traditional techniques, highlighting Marimekko’s commitment to circular fashion.
