Stenströms Unveils Design Collaboration with Mathias le Fèvre

This year, Stenströms celebrates its 125th anniversary as a renowned fashion brand and shirt specialist. As part of the celebration, the company is launching a capsule collection in collaboration with London-based Scandinavian creative and model, Mathias le Fèvre. The collection, available from October 2024, features 20 pieces that blend Stenströms’ design ethos with Mathias' distinctive style. The garments draw inspiration from contemporary design, fused with nostalgic references, particularly to the 1970s.

For Stenströms, this partnership felt like a natural progression, with Mathias having worked on various creative projects with the brand over the past few years. “We appreciate how Mathias interprets Stenströms,” says Peter Jüriado, Stenströms' Head of Design. “He captures the brand’s essence while adding his own personal touch. When he visited us last year to learn more about our history and processes, the idea of creating a special collection began to take shape.”

“The goal was to create a collection with a fresh perspective, while honouring the brand’s historic DNA,” says Mathias in a press release. “When exploring Stenströms’ archives, I studied collar styles, fabric patterns, and silhouettes from the 1920s, 1950s, and 1970s—decades I regard as a golden age.”

Sharing Stenströms’ Scandinavian heritage and a love for natural elements, Mathias ensured these themes were central to the collection’s colour palettes. He also incorporated a personal tribute to his late grandmother, an artist who inspired his creative journey. Her artwork is featured on select silk scarves and pocket squares, bringing her creativity into the collection.

The capsule is a collaborative effort, with Mathias developing the styles alongside Stenströms’ design team, visiting the brand’s headquarters in Helsingborg on several occasions.

This tight, well-curated capsule presents an exciting twist on Stenströms’ traditional designs, offering new styles such as silk shirts, patterned knit polo shirts, a stylish suede jacket, and Fair Isle vests.
