Beckmans Fashion Collaboration 2023
In time for the upcoming season, 13 fashion students at Beckmans College of Design have created their unique denim collections for – and inspired by – six Swedish Fashion Brands: Busnel, Flattered, Ida Sjöstedt, Lazoschmidl, Rave Review, and Stutterheim.
The fashion show presented the graduating student’s collections, live music performances by Kimchii & Ros, interviews with talents and partners behind these collections, behind the scenes, and more.
Fashion show behind-the-scenes
Starting from new inventive iterations of the jeans we all wear and love and proceeding in radically expanding the denim vocabulary, these individual collections translate the style, humor, sensuality, attitude, and sustainable ideas of the collaborating brands into a storied material, in a new time.

In the collections, the designers have developed individual expressions that make use of the denim garments’ unique qualities of function, artisanal solutions, workwear past, and rich subcultural history, put in a contemporary fashion context. The denim material invites sustainable thinking where clothes are made to be used and last longer, to wear easily, and create an emotional quality. The washing, bleaching, wearing, and tearing let the garments express stories about events and around people. Even the materials themselves, the cotton twill and the indigo dye, invite experimentation and creative craftsmanship, blurring the boundaries between street style and the couture atelier.
These collections also represent Beckman’s valuable meetings of the school’s soon-to-be designers and fashion’s revered talents and brands.
