After presenting her debut collection for Stel at Copenhagen's TheKrane, Astrid Andersen returned to the elevated venue with her nearest and dearest to toast the unveiling of Collection 01.

Speaking to Vogue Scandinavia ahead of Copenhagen Fashion Week, Andersen described the first collection as comprised of "tailoring you can skate in, denim you can dance in, and shirts you can travel in." In which case, last night called for Stel's denim: Andersen planned a full-blown rave to celebrate. But first, an intimate gathering with family and friends to reflect on the moment. "Coming back to The Krane – a venue that holds such special memories for me – feels like a perfect space for me to celebrate this next chapter with the people closest to me," Andersen says. "I can't wait to carry on the party, we all love to dance!"

Amongst the select guests were longtime friend A$AP Nast (who styled Collection 01), Swedish actor Noomi Rapace, DJ Kim Turnball, and designer O Thongthai. See the snapshots below.
