Nicklas Skovgaard
Founded in 2020, the Copenhagen-based brand aims to explore the relationship textiles can hold in expressing narratives through the marriage of unexpected material and classical form. Creating his own textiles that cultivate an exceptional surface, Nicklas Skovgaard taught himself weaving after discovering a small loom and crafting swatches of his own fabric. Expanding on to a bigger surface allowed Nicklas to create larger pieces moulded into jackets, hats and capelets. With his handmade textiles mapped against contradictory fabrications and cut into unexpected silhouettes, there is a strange visual appeal to the combinations that range from hand-woven wool fabric merged with water repellant fabric, silk taffeta and stretch jersey.

66 North
Designed and proven in Iceland.
Being from Iceland and nearly a century old gives 66°North a competitive advantage over competitors. In 1926, Hans Kristjánsson founded the company in Suðureyri (66.1311° N, 23.5272° W) making protective clothing for Icelanders. The extremes of the climate meant that the clothing expanded into everyday protective clothing for Icelanders facing extraordinary conditions Iceland is a paradoxical place, beautiful and dangerous, the edge of the world but visited by all nations, light all summer, dark all winter - these elements draw people to the brand, and the clothes let you explore this world.

Rolf Ekroth
Rolf Ekroth, the Finnish-Swedish designer has one of fashion's most unusual backstories. While most of his friends opted to study business after high school, this contrarian decided to show them up by studying social work. A few years in, Ekroth realized the field wasn't for him.He segued into sales and by 2004 when online poker hit Finland it became his obsession. After struggling with poker for a few years he figured out that his emotional nature wasn't really suited to the game and he managed to quit. After taking a few months off, he was once again adrift when out of the blue a friend who had noted Ekroth's interest in clothing, suggested Ekroth try fashion. And he did. Since graduating from Helsinki's Aalto University in 2015, Ekroth has done several collaborative projects, was a finalist at the Hyères Festival, and won the Designers' Nest competition. He relaunched his namesake label independently in 2020 during the pandemic.

Alis
Created by two friends in the free-town of Christiania, Copenhagen in 1995, ALIS went from being a local voice to a national movement.
As a true pioneer of youth culture, skateboarding and streetwear the brand purposely maintained an air of mystery, committed to staying authentic and underground - built upon pillars of community and raw desire to create.
As life, ALIS has grown mature through ups and downs, and in 2025 is ready to embrace re-invented new direction. Through a successful collaboration with experienced business partners and a new creative direction lead by Tobias Birk Nielsen, ALIS is presented in a new light.
