Creative lead Anna Teurnell’s first capsule collection for Filippa K is a wardrobe of wearable, minimal essentials
Ever since Anna Teurnell was named creative lead of Filippa K, we’ve waited with bated breath to see what sort of minimal magic she would conjure for her premiere collection. While we received an amuse bouche by way of a very '90s pair of bootcut jeans (which were ubiquitous among the Scandi style set when they first dropped), now we have an entire capsule collection to sink our teeth into. Centred around timeless pieces, the offering is precisely what Filippa K fans long for: effortless, practical dressing that exudes quiet confidence.
For Teurnell, it was paramount for the capsule to be versatile. “It must fit together from morning commute to walking the dog to going to work to having a drink – all of those needs you might have during a day,” she says. Rendered in a neutral colour scheme – camel and navy, black and taupe – the capsule puts texture and silhouette front and centre (Or, as Teurnell describes it, a “clean '90s vibe” coupled with something “softer and more relaxed”). Take, for instance, the delicious hairy camel peacoat and matching mini skirt, with its gentle A-line and tiny slit. For evening, a high-necked simple black frock gets at twist by way of a sheer V-neck panel. Elsewhere, a dusty brown suede set, with its chore-like coat and second-skin trousers, offer a cool-girl twist on minimal dressing. “We can be fashionable,” says Teurnell. “But it must be relevant and easy to understand.”

Then, of course, there is the tailoring. Teurnell’s take is relaxed yet considered, with strong shoulders and easy trousers that highlight rather than drown the body (according to Teurnell, the silhouette is inspire by English heritage). Rounding out the offering are plenty of covetable basics – slim ribbed jersey, lambswool knits and those aforementioned bootcut jeans. A full wardrobe that begs to be mixed, matched and layered. “It’s quite essential,” says Teurnell. “If it hangs on a rack, it’s nicely matched together.”
