A Perfect Setting for Fashion

The newly designed WSA’s Test Kitchen, known for its architectural aesthetic featuring glass tables and metal-framed furniture, served as an exceptional backdrop for The House of Dagmar’s breakfast presentation. Wallenstam brought the brand’s fall collection directly from Stockholm to this vibrant New York venue.

Design Inspirations and Trends

As an art collector, Wallenstam shared that a prominent sculpted design in the collection was inspired by a piece displayed in her home. This standout piece has quickly become the brand’s best-seller, reflecting a shift in consumer preferences from previous seasons, where oversized blazers were the highlight.

Tailoring and New Softness

Tailoring remains a cornerstone of The House of Dagmar’s offerings. Highlights include:

• A sophisticated charcoal pinstripe three-piece suit comprising a tailored coat and pants.
• A range of stylish shirting options.

Additionally, a new softness characterizes this season’s collection, showcased through pieces like a chiffon bow blouse paired with a straight-line leather coat that doubles as a coat dress.

Thematic Elements for Fall 2024

Wallenstam’s team has successfully introduced a circular theme for the fall 2024 line, moving away from the stiffness observed in earlier collections. Some standout pieces include:

• Wool-felt pants featuring an elastic, track-suit style waist.
• A complementary blouson jacket crafted from the same wool felt, which elegantly reveals its circular silhouette.
• A luxurious cashmere cardigan enveloped in a pouf of chiffon, merging comfort with sophistication.
