For Numero NL, we travelled to Oslo during Oslo Runway, to discover the best talents of the Norwegian fashion industry. Oslo Runway is indeed a testament to the purity, innovation and creative ingenuity that define this dynamic fashion landscape.

The DS Fashion Talent Award and Oslo Runway NEXT opened Oslo Runway with great success

The award ceremony took place at Sentralen as part of Oslo Runway. Four selected graduate students from the design schools KHIO, Esmond, Oslo Met and SOFI were chosen to present their graduate collections, receiving great cheers from the audience. The students were selected by a jury made up of Norway’s most prominent opinion leaders in fashion and design. After everyone had presented their designs and concepts, Ingrid Petterson was announced as the winner of DS Fashion Talent Award.

Margaret Abeshu defines her interdisciplinary practice between critical theory, art and fashion in a popular cultural context. The basis of her work comes from fragmented memories both from growing up in Ethiopia and collective perspectives linked to the Afro-diaspora.

ILAG, a colorful fashion show

ILAG is a Norwegian brand, established in 2020. The idea sprang from a desire to create more sustainable made, relaxed and fun pieces of clothing. ILAG everyday outfits are pretty, comfortable and versatile enough to be worn both at work, in social gatherings as well as at home.

Springsummer 2023 collection is named VÆRE ILAG, meaning “be together”.This collection were designed when Putin invaded Ukraine, and creative director, Renate Nipe, felt numb and that everything were without meaning. Nipe spent a lot of thought trying to find out what her inspiration for this particular collection should be. When everything seems hopeless, optimism, hope and being with family and friends is perhaps what gets us on in life.

The marine orchestra of Pearl Octopuss.y

Pearl Octopuss.y is an Oslo based jewellery brand, established and crafted by Cathrine Boerter.
With a soft spot for the eccentric and bold, Pearl Octopuss.y seeks to connect with the customer that endures a love for the maximal. The pieces are handmade with an obsessive care for detail, craftsmanship and the nostalgia of owning something unique. Cathrine Boerter has been working as a women’s wear designer in Oslo for almost a decade, until she started making her own jewellery – almost by accident during her maternity leave.

Immersed in the intimacy of an artist’s studio, the new collection was presented to the rhythm of a live musical performance, a violin concerto like no other. An enchanting melody, just like the collection of jewelry and upcycled clothing.
