Comment: Prose concerns brought up in previous review remain. CurryTime7-24 (talk) 19:09, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: For example, the lead states "a sensual design perspective on Scandinavian minimalism with a sustainability mission" which synthesises well beyond what the source says. Greenman (talk) 22:41, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Filippa K is a Stockholm-based fashion house founded by Swedish designer Filippa Knutsson in 1993. Its ready-to-wear clothing, footwear and accessories have a Scandinavian minimalism design perspective with a sustainability mission.[1][2]
History[edit]
Filippa Knutsson founded Filippa K in 1993 with Patrik Kihlborg and Karin Segerblom. Having worked at Gul & Blå, the denim label founded by parents Lars Knutsson and Martina Clason, Filippa started Filippa K as a way to meet her own needs,[1] and it was part of the Scandinavian minimalism fashion wave of the 1990s.[3][4] The company has maintained a presence in the Nordics and parts of Europe since it was founded[1], launching a menswear line in 1998[5] and expanding into active and leisurewear in 2011.[6]
Filippa K's Creative Director Liisa Kessler was appointed in January 2022 as the first successor to Knutsson, who stepped away from the role in 2019.[7] Kessler was formerly a designer at Yves Saint Laurent and worked at Parisian fashion houses such as Chloé and Y/Project. She has a dual Finnish and German background.[1]
Products[edit]
Filippa K's approach in the 90s was based around the ideas of style, simplicity and quality, with its first popular item being stretch jeans: low-waisted skinny-style flares with a form-enhancing fit.[3] Taking inspiration from Filippa K’s heritage, Creative Director Liisa Kessler has expressed wanting to redefine Scandinavian sensual minimalism for the modern day.[1] Kessler's debut for Filippa K was the Spring/Summer 2023 collection, a combination of casual, evening and tailored garments,[8]
Sustainability[edit]
Filippa K's vision of mindful consumption started in 1993, and the company developed a circularity business model in 2010.[9][10] The collections include fibres such as organic and natural materials, and textiles such as recycled polyester, working towards producing an increased proportion of garments made from sustainable fibres each season[9][10].
The Swedish Wool Project[edit]
Filippa K collaborates on sustainability projects with partners from other industries[10]. In 2020, the brand won the Drapers Award for Best Supply Chain Initiative for The Swedish Wool Project[11]. Filippa K created a traceable supply chain to turn the waste of wool from the Swedish meat industry into a resource with its Swedish Wool sweaters. The initiative has been scaled up with support from Axel Johnson Group to make the supply chain accessible to more partners.[12][13]
In 2021 Filippa K collaborated with emerging Swedish designer Stina Randestad (Stinarand) to create a capsule collection of avant garde pieces made entirely from upcycled Filippa K garments and scraps.[9]
In 2021 Filippa K launched Preowned: an online resale platform through its own site in partnership with Archive.[14] The platform allows customers to shop and sell preowned Filippa K items and shop archive pieces from the brand.[14]
Stores[edit]
Filippa K has retail locations across Europe in Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Belgium and Finland. Its flagship store is located on Biblioteksgatan in Stockholm.[15]
