STOCKING FILLERS

SS25 PRESS DAY

As we try to cling onto the end of the warmer days, we found ourselves gifted with a surprisingly sunny Autumn afternoon - the perfect setting for our SS25 Press Day.

The dream team. ❤️

It was a privilege to showcase collections from Bitte Kai Rand, Caroline Svedbom, Campomaggi, Edblad, Sand Copenhagen and Van Kukil to our community of press, stylists and influencers. The vibrant energy of the day matched our guests who joined us to explore the newness in our SS25 collections ahead of the season.

The day was elevated by a pampering experience from Shoreditch Nails as we hosted a pop up nail bar in our showroom for an extra special treat for our guests.

We truly appreciate everyone that attended our SS25 Press Day as we love connecting and making memories with our Oldstrom community. 

We are so excited for what lies ahead for our incredible brands and the Oldstrom family!

SS25 TREND RECAP: A GUIDE TO THE SEASON'S MUST-HAVES

As the curtain closes on SS25 fashion weeks from Copenhagen to London and Paris, we’re buzzing with fresh inspiration for next season. With so many standout moments on the runways, we’ve curated our top trend picks that are set to define the fashion landscape. 

Romantic reverie

The boho-chic movement, catapulted back into the spotlight by Chloé’s AW24 show, continues its reign in SS25—and we're loving it! Think romantic ruffles, dreamy silhouettes, and light fabrics that exude effortless femininity. Simone Rocha, Loewe, and of course, Chloé embraced this free-spirited aesthetic in their collections.

You can find this romantic aesthetic in our very own Isabelle Blanche SS25 collection, where bohemian is woven into the brand's very DNA.

BLAZERS ON BLAZERS


Structured shoulders and exquisite suiting dominated this season. This trend took form through both oversized cuts and form-fitting styles alike. We saw that The Row, Saint Lauren and Nina Ricci embraced the versatility of power dressing on their catwalks.

For those who seek timeless sophistication, our suiting brand Sand Copenhagen appreciates quiet luxury, perfect cuts, and modernity. With its flawless tailoring, Sand Copenhagen is your go-to for sharp, statement-making suiting.

Butter yellow

The undisputed colour of SS25? Butter yellow.

This creamy, sun-soaked hue dominated collections from Loewe, Jacquemus, Gucci, and Paloma Wool, emerging as the new neutral for Spring. It’s a shade that exudes optimism, perfect for a season where authenticity and joy are at the forefront of fashion.

Scandinavian brand Bitte Kai Rand embraces this uplifting palette in their High Summer 2025 collection. Their design DNA is epitomised by relaxed fits, colour and soft, textured fabrics. Butter yellow never looked so effortless.

Chic shoes

Vintage-inspired slingbacks and pumps strutted down the catwalks, adding a touch of timeless elegance to SS25. Pointed toes and rich red hues were key accents in shows such as Bottega Veneta and Saint Laurent, perfectly complementing the season's power dressing looks.

Emulate this trend with Kennel & Schmenger, a brand renowned for its craftsmanship and dedication to blending comfort with high-end aesthetics. Step into style without sacrificing ease.

Step into SS25 with confidence as you explore these runway-approved trends with our Oldstrom brands that offer a unique blend of timeless style and modern flair.

WHAT TO WEAR: WIMBLEDON EDITION

What to wear to Wimbledon - The Oldstrom style guide.

Chic, stylish, smart, effortlessly cool- this is the vibe we would want to give off if we were fortunate enough to be court-side next week.

If you have managed to snag yourself a ticket and you want to be the best-dressed spectator this Wimbledon season, then you will definitely want to take a look at the Oldstrom style guide below.

 

Although there is no specific dress code for women at Wimbledon, smart dress is encouraged meaning a suit would be a go-to choice. We would also recommend sticking to a light and airy colour palette.

This Dea Kudibal combination: Zinsa jacket, Carita trousers and Cristana shirt is smart, clean and crisp with a subtle and cool twist.

 

Hopefully, we will continue to be blessed with gorgeous sunny weather for the event, in which case you will need to plan your outfit accordingly.

A linen jumpsuit, dress or set will be light and comfortable for a day outside in the heat, while a big pair of sunglasses can double up as a sun protector and as a style statement.

 

A blazer is always recommended for any event in the UK, just in case the temperature drops… and no one does classic blazers better than Sand Copenhagen!

Complete your look with fun, summery accessories like the Ocean Pearl Earrings from the Caroline Svedbom Resort collection, along with a big stack of matching bracelets of course.

 

THE AW24 - END OF SEASON ROUND-UP

The start of 2024 was a super busy period for the Oldstrom team - Another successful selling season of showroom appointments, trade shows, brand visits and road trips. But now we have had a moment to rest and reflect on everything we have achieved, we wanted to highlight some of the most exciting events of the last few months.

Take a look at what we have been up to recently over on our socials and in the highlights below.

LAUNCHING GLAS EYEWEAR AT TOP DRAWER

Back in January, we attended our first trade show of the year, launching a very exciting new brand as part of the Oldstrom portfolio - the premium eyewear brand GLAS Eyewear. We also took our popular Swedish jewellery brand Caroline Svedbom to the show and showcased their beautiful Spring and Summer collections. This was a great way for us to jump into the new selling season with momentum and introduce the new GLAS brand to UK customers.

MEETING BITTE AND MICHAEL KAI RAND

At the beginning of the year, Julie and Freya travelled to Copenhagen for the AW24 kick-off meeting with Bitte Kai Rand. On this trip, they got the chance to meet the founders- Bitte and Michael, (Who we have to say are the loveliest people ever) as well as preview the new collection at the brand’s head office. A very fun and insightful trip overall and they can’t wait to visit again for the SS25 kick-off.

SCOOP TRADESHOW - AW24 EDITION

In February, we were back at Scoop, showing off all of the amazing new collections from our brands: Caroline Svedbom, BRGN, Bitte Kai Rand and Sand Copenhagen. We also took this opportunity to launch Edblad Jewellery to our customers and new potential buyers. The Swedish jewellery brand was a massive hit, with everyone loving the chunky, trendy, statement style of jewellery that Edblad is known for. (We love being able to offer customers new, unique and exciting product offerings!)

ROAD-TRIPPING AROUND IRELAND

At the beginning of April, Julia and Freya took Oldstrom on the road, visiting 36 stores in various towns all around Ireland. From Dublin to Kilkenny to Cork to Galway, the girls visited key existing stockists like Ellen B, Venezuela, Gallery 9 and Macbees, as well as introduced themselves to new, potential buyers and stores.

Key takeaways from the trip and all of the lovely chats they had along the way include a very positive reaction to the first season of Mei MeiJ, with stores experiencing great feedback on the brand and great initial sell-through. Another super positive product category for Ireland was accessories, with stores selling current brands very well and looking to introduce new names like Edblad and GLAS Eyewear to the mix.
