enclosed, treasures hidden within the walls. The other sliced open, an invitation for all to come in. This year alone, there has been the Wales Bonner and Adidas collaboration, each drop of which has sold like hotcakes, the revival of Adidas Sambas and now, there is the return of Onitsuka Tiger's Mexico 66 trainers, which have been spotted on the feet of every fashion insider worth their salt. of ideas, art and culture throughout history, and its legacy is still physically imposing in the heart In the pantheon of fashion-approved footwear, few styles transcend seasons quite like trainers.

Where did they come from? Wooster entered the industry at Barney’s New York, before serving as the fashion director at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman. Today, he acts as an advisor for several brands, and his longstanding influence is among the most distinctive in fashion. Being Sweden, everything has to be practical and everything has to exist for a reason, rather than just design for the sake of it. That’s one of the strongest things about Swedish design, it’s very functional, but we don’t want to lose soul. It’s about finding warmth and humour in function. Touches of humour are key. I’m an outsider – I’m from the UK – and I’ve come here and I’m observing the Swedes all the time. I like that insider/outsider thing. In this collection it was about my own journey. It was about looking at the type of clothes people in Sweden wear in the winter and how we make that fun and feel right.
