\n\tFor the fashion set, September means the start of the spring runway season. For everyone else, it means the start of the fall semester.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tChristian Juul Nielsen bridged the two at Aknvas, packing his new lunchbox shaped bags to head back to boarding school, \u201cthe happiest years of my life,\u201d said the \u00d8resund efterskole graduate.<\/p>\n
\n\tStomping down the hallway \u2014 er, runway \u2014 in lugged Stuart Weitzman wader boots, the spring 2026 \u201cBreakfast Club\u201d was a hodgepodge of preppies, punks and princesses. \u201cI always have something related to the monarchy in my collections,\u201d explained Nielsen, who\u2019s Danish, \u201cand in this case, my niece is in the same class as the crown princess of Denmark.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tPlanting his historical court theme firmly in the youth culture of today, tiers of buoyant ruffles sprouted from bloomers and micro miniskirts \u2014 \u201cIt\u2019s all minis, we do well with minis,\u201d said Nielsen \u2014 while corset lacing cinched the fronts of low-riding skinny jeans.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tOuterwear was a highlight, especially boxy cutaway trenches with jaw-framing storm flaps. They read a bit like redingotes and Nielsen offered them in myriad textiles, from blue denim and khaki cotton to red-and-white tie-dye and green bonded lace. Varsity jackets in distressed leather added edge, as did acid wash pieces, though those didn\u2019t quite make the grade.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tPleated chinos with 10-gallon pockets jutting out like panniers got an A-plus. They looked cool on a girl with a simple tank and even cooler on a guy, giving regal airs to his collegiate striped shirt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tBut as Nielsen explained, his vision for Aknvas is greater than any one particular item, it\u2019s head-to-toe. \u201cMy clients are very open to us selling everything as-is and they really want the whole look,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tAsked who his dream client is, Nielsen\u2019s answer wasn\u2019t surprising: the princess of Denmark. With his niece\u2019s foot in the door, maybe that assignment will come soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
