Created for long-term purpose, Atelier by Vagabond adds contemporary elements to the everyday wardrobe and celebrates “slow luxury” with quality and craftsmanship at its core.

    Swedish fashion brand Vagabond Shoemakers is back with a new Atelier collection this autumn, offering pieces that balance longstanding design with new influences.

    Our aim is to create investment pieces that can stand the test of time, both in quality and aesthetic. The Atelier collection is all about slow luxury, valuing long-term use and beyond-season thinking. By working with premium materials and by using smart design and refined details, the collection is the perfect mix between edgy expression and core go- to alternatives.” Marie Nilsson Peterzén, Co-founder and Creative Director of Vagabond Shoemakers says.

    The collection consists of 16 pieces, including penny loafers, riding boots and over-shoulder bags. Biker boot Nour is the everyday go-to style, coming both in pull-up and harness versions, and key style Samira is the sharp, pointy-toed style with asymmetric cuts available as mid-high and ankle boots. Shoulder bag Hanoi is the ultimate signature piece, with its full leather lining, hardware details and polished leather. The colours of the collection range from black and cognac to darker browns, and a toned-down amber-green accent. Details include contrast seams, sharp toes, asymmetric cuts, raw contrast edges and materials such as glossy leather and oily nubuck.

  • The Time Between Us by Jason Martin

    Written by Natalia Muntean by Natalia Muntean

    It’s always about finding the balance between capturing the moment in a still painting, while also showing the movement and boldness,” says British artist Jason Martin. 
    The Time Between Us is an exhibition bringing together pieces from years ago and the artist’s current work, as an ongoing search to expand a personalised vocabulary that stretches 23 years. Golden accents, shimmering greens or profound, oily hues, all blend to show Martin’s creative universe and act as an exploration of the tension between the ephemeral and the eternal. The paintings represent an attempt to capture moments that encompass the duality of being fleeting but also lasting forever, like trapping a moment into forever. As if Martin has managed to imprison time within his canvas. Through his work, the artist aims to transmit an eternal energy that can have an impact on a wider audience. “I make works for the now, the contemporary cycle we all inhabit but as important for the unborn,” concludes the artist.
    After a 12-year absence, Jason Martin returned to Stockholm with The Time Between Us, a solo exhibition on display at Wetterling Gallery until the 30th of September.
    Jason Martin was born in 1970 in Jersey, Channel Islands. He holds a BA from Goldsmiths University and is well known for his monochromatic abstract paintings.
