As Stockholm Fashion Week steadily approaches, we’ll be out on the streets photographing two days of the Nordic country’s infamously excellent style. But before we jump into the shows, we’re taking a moment to look back at some of our favorite sun-drenched shots from the Swedish capital. In charting the evolution of Swedish fashion, from 2017 to 2023, we’ve charted an evolution from bright pops of colors and artful patterns toward an earthier, more elegant minimalism. Be sure to follow along as Acielle Tanbetova photographs the best-dressed guests at the spring 2027 shows—and see how the Swedes really come alive during their precious two months of summer sun.
