Boasting one of the strongest burgeoning fashion markets in Europe, Stockholm Fashion Week is a three-day style bonanza thats as cohesive as it is varied. Showcasing a diversity of looks that ranged from the romance of embellished lace and the toughness of treated denim to more blacks and grays than you can shake a stick at, one thing is easy to pick out: Stockholm is stylishly effortless. Here we run down the best the capital city has to offer when fashion takes over.
