ODDA Conversations ODDA magazine

Nicklas Skovgaard is an exploration of the self and a deep understanding of the human experience. His brand started as a way to find calmness and peace and now transcends mere garments. After working in the interior design industry, a sick leave and a career change led Nicklas to create unexpected combinations and explore new paths. As he learned to weave by himself, he created the first braids of this new journey with a simple loom, where every thread woven is a declaration of self-love and self-discovery, representing the quest for expression and creation. We sat down with Nicklas in his studio in Copenhagen, to discuss his brand, his inspiration for Madonna and his mom, the subtle dance between art, craft, and the dreamlike narrative that de!nes his label.

One early January morning, while the snow was still falling down in Paris, Stephanie D’heygere cleared her throat on camera. In her hand was a mug of tea to keep her company. Beyond the view presented on screen, a sunflower-shaped lamp stood tall on what seemed like a fireplace behind her. It seems that the flora and beautiful objects that ornament Stephanie will never escape her immediate periphery. This idea of beauty–one that seeps into and away from the jewelry designer–is done with ease. Second nature even. As such, it only makes sense that beauty holds no structural meaning at her namesake label, D’heygere. The designs are first conceptualized with a unique story, holding multi-functionality at the heart of each piece that exits D’heygere’s atelier door

Paramount Pictures' is set to release "Mean Girls" theatrically on January 12, 2024, from directors Arturo Perez Jr. and Samantha Jayne.

Focused on a diverse range of brands, as well as a diverse group of consumers, Tomorrow amplifies the voices of designers within the fashion market. Co-founder and CEO, Stefano Martinetto, sits down to discuss the trajectory of this market and the domain that they are intent on pursuing. Reflecting on the vision of Tomorrow, aimed at being the “independent record label” for fashion brands, Martinetto also reminisces on his humble beginnings in the industry. Having started as a designated sandwich maker and fitting “mannequin” for his father’s showroom during his teenage years, he has worked his way up to create a company that supports and elevates the purpose-driven and value-oriented entrepreneurial creatives of tomorrow.

If there is a brand that has successfully achieved subjective ambiguity, whereby anyone viewing is able to place themselves, their emotions or their desires into carefully curated collections, it is Completedworks. Using sustainable materials to establish shape and structure, Completedworks hones into the expressive nature of its pieces to capture the indefinite aura of movement. Emerging as a jewelry line in 2013 before expanding into the realm of homeware, Completedworks founder and Artistic Director, Anna Jewsbury, places her community and family at the forefront of her creative vision–a vision that she continues to refine and elevate a decade later. Jewsbury gets comfortable with ODDA to speak about first impressions, the processes of planning and execution and the importance of “future-proofing” in modern society.

we explored the process that creates the world’s finest cotton. During our time there, we explored the SUPIMA Cotton Gin and the farms where the long staple fibres are birthed. In turn, we were educated on the processes of cotton production and the levels of surety placed to ensure its best classing.
