AKNVAS Fall/Winter 2021 Collection at NYFW

This week AKNVAS, an advanced-contemporary brand, debuted their Fall/ Winter 2021 collection on the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Runway360 platform during New York Fashion Week (NYFW). The Fall/Winter 2021 AKNVAS collection is created from a lens, which is looking at a world, in which we are all seeking comfort and safety.

Creative Director Christian Juul Nielsen’s inspiration journey took him to revisit his roots while living in Paris and Copenhagen.

The results are couture-inspired corset details, mixed with comfortable oversized sweatshirts, and square shapes of LEGO-inspired geometric patterns and zig zags.

Per Christian Juul Nielsen, we are in a world where everything is becoming more and more contrasted, so the idea of playing with silhouettes and shapes is fascinating. Body-conscious ribbed dresses placed against oversized coats is a respite from daily life in a world of lockdown and social distancing.

As we wish for couture, we currently have an airy need for comfort. The collection features an extended knitwear collection, including: body conscious strappy tops, nylon ribbon knitted sweaters, oversized cropped woolen cable knit sweaters and tight little neon pink cashmere tops.
