Fashion is one of the biggest trademarks of the capital city of Sweden's pedigree of illustrious design. People's favorites Acne Studios and Our Legacy serve as the flag bearers for the Nordic wave, a new movement that has mastered minimalism and the almost eternal high-low trend, while the many boutiques and the flagships stores in the city have ensured that the Swedes stay at the top of the game when it comes to the stylish Europeans. Stockholm is counted as an incubator for the Swedish designers to innovate, and it hasn't taken very long for the city to establish itself as one of the most prolific fashion locations in Europe.
