Merging nostalgia with a modern essence, Danish-born designer Christian Juul Nielsen introduces his Spring/Summer 2025 collection for AKNVAS, called Nordic Midsummer Camp. Transporting us to the playful and adventurous spirit of a Nordic summer, Nordic Midsummer Camp combines a youthful flair and the serene beauty of nature. The collection is split into three distinct chapters – Urban Scout, Monochromatic Flower Fields, and Radiant Dew – each telling a unique story that captures the essence of midsummer. Key looks include signature denim and canvas workwear-inspired jackets, delicate floral appliques on tops, and shimmering sequined embroidered dresses. The colour palette is elevated, soft and fresh.
The collection offers looks for men and women, and features the brand’s first handbag offerings. “I wanted to create a bag that fits the ready to wear AKNVAS girl. Feminine and functional that goes from day to evening,” says Nielsen. The miniature bags will be available for spring in a wide array of pastel and neutral tones.
The runway show also continued a partnership with Stuart Weitzman for the women’s shoes. The global luxury footwear brand premiered their Emerson Capsule Collection. “I wanted to work with Stuart Weitzman because their craftsmanship perfectly aligns with the AKNVAS vision – creating luxury clothes and footwear that empower women,” says Nielsen. “Their EMERSON capsule collection embodies the strength, confidence, and boldness I envisioned for my runway collection.” Men’s footwear was provided by Kenner.
