Stel Spring 2027: Astrid Andersen's Gender-Neutral Tailoring

Astrid Andersen, known for her menswear and streetwear in London, has returned to fashion with Stel, a modular ready-to-wear line. After a several-year hiatus, Andersen moved back to Jutland, Denmark, became a mother, and sought a fresh start with a focus on women's clothing that is both functional and stylish. The Stel woman is described as "feminine but not romantic or decorative," and while performance wear is key, the approach is non-performative. The Spring 2027 collection, shown at Copenhagen Fashion Week, featured long shorts, a trend among young Copenhageners, in washed denim with a slight balloon shape, paired with matching vests or knit tops. Signature pinnie details appeared on shirts and a workwear jacket. Andersen also showcased her tailoring skills with a sleeveless coat and an asymmetric vest. The collection appeals to any gender, reflecting a broader shift towards gender-neutral fashion.
