Nelly Johansson's 38th collection, "Nocturnal," is a testament to her moody and elegant aesthetic. At 65 years old, Johansson continues to deliver her signature style, described as "silent, authentic, underground and dark chic," together with the creative director, Carl Ivar.

The collection features organic, fresh and cooling linen tops, shimmering and dry silk in grey tones, calmly arousing cupro linings, cordovan leather, cashmere, and merino knits. These pieces, which are made from the finest fabric knitter in the world, Toki-Sen in Osaka, are handcrafted and made from recycled materials.

Model Martina Menfors, a local techno DJ and friend of Carl Ivar, showcases the collection in the photoshoot. Menfors is also affiliated with Streck Studio, a digital and vinyl record label and rave organization based in Gothenburg.

As Johansson states, "Opposites attract. Night and day brings out different personas from us." This sentiment is reflected in the collection, which seamlessly blends contrasting elements to create a unique and striking aesthetic.
