For her debut Filippa K collection, creative director Anna Teurnell expands the beloved Swedish brand’s vision of '90s minimalism by way of new silhouettes and unexpected juxtapositions
We’ve been teased with creative director Anna Teurnell’s vision for Filippa K – a carefully considered pair of bootcut jeans here, a capsule collection there – but autumn/winter '25 marks the designer’s first full collection for the beloved Swedish brand. It’s a collection that’s very Filippa K in its emphasis on no-fuss '90s minimalism (long lines for days) and everyday wardrobe essentials (coats and tailoring, especially). But Teurnell certainly makes her mark. “We need something more,” says Teurnell. “We can work with an hourglass, we can work with shape, we can be a bit more free in our expression.”
Not too free, mind you: a red thread of considered minimalism still runs through the offering (including that vibrant red wool cocoon coat, come to think of it). As Teurnell puts it, these are the sort of “simple pieces” that carry you from the morning dog walk (the designer walks her own pooch through Södermalm for an hour each morning before heading to Filippa K HQ) to the morning commute to school pickup to an evening out on the town.
Take, for instance, a sleek long-sleeved jersey dress with a gentle scooped back which could be styled with a thin turtleneck and practical boots for the office or worn with heels and chunky jewellery to a gala. That covetable hourglass suit (introduced in Teurnell’s capsule and reimagined here in pinstripe) could easily be broken up into everyday tailored separates or topped with that delicious off-white shearling coat.
To that end, there’s an art to the styling, which favours a mix-and-match of materials and unorthodox combinations. A bomber worn over a suit jacket, for instance (a Teurnell signature), or a smart grey overcoat over a total denim look. Elsewhere, a fuzzy knit is wrapped around the neck as a makeshift scarf. It’s not just to show the versatility of the pieces – the layering also serves a practical purpose. “It’s good to take the weather as inspiration,” says Teurnell. “You want to be able to lift the collar on a coat and you want to be able to close coats easily, because it’s so cold. And that’s inspiring.”
