Stenströms x Mathias le Fèvre

For us, the partnership has been quite a natural move with Mathias already working with the brand on various creative projects. "We love how Mathias interprets Stenströms," says head designer for men, Peter Jüriado. "He captures Stenströms through a modern lens. So, when he visited us last year to learn more about the company and how we work, the idea of really working together on something special started to take shape."

Together, they have created a men’s capsule collection that includes styles influenced by Stenströms heritage and Mathias unique style ethos. The nature of Scandinavia is the core turning point when it comes to the color palette. Cuts and textures are infused with his love for the 60s and 70s and the accessories carry a personal homage to his late grandmother’s paintings.

Creative Director, model and actor with a great interest in all things fashion, Mathias le Fèvre delivers his own unique classic style with contemporary elements. Growing up in Denmark, he is a Scandinavian at heart and this is reflected in his values. Mathias appreciates simplicity, quality craftsmanship and new ways of thinking around garments and their presentation.

From a very young age, he enjoyed watching old movies and studying the rules of gentleman's dressing. He discovered Stenströms while searching for the perfect linen Summer shirt. He was deeply impressed by the quality, fit and the beautiful mother-of-pearl buttons. Mathias' style is timeless with a twist, which harmonizes perfectly with the Stenströms' philosophy.

"The collection is a condensed and well-executed capsule with a twist on traditional Stenströms designs, presenting some exciting new styles, such as silk shirts, a suede jacket and some fine wool sweaters together with a lovely Faire Isle knitted vest." – Peter Jüriado

"The wool scarves carry artworks painted by my late grandmother. She played an important role in my upbringing. I spent countless afternoons at her house after school observing her paint, she will always be my greatest creative hero." – Mathias le Fèvre

"It only really made sense to me to showcase the designs in an environment that influenced its creation. The aim was to capture the juxtaposition of the intense powers of Scandinavian nature against its idyllic serenity." – Mathias le Fèvre

"The goal has been to create a collection with a new perspective whilst paying homage to the brand’s historic DNA." – Mathias le Fèvre

"While going through the Stenströms archives, I studied the collar styles, prints and silhouettes from the 20s, 50s and 70s. Decades that I consider the golden ages. I’ve always been taken by the style of the 1970s and 1980s, it’s a huge style inspiration for me with icons such as David Bowie and Mick Jagger." – Mathias le Fèvre
