When Astrid Andersen launched Stel she used the catchy phrase “tailoring you can skate in” as part of her tagline. For fall she set out to prove the point by photographing the collection on professional skateboarder Beatrice Domond. And I find we need to be able to embrace that whole imperfection as well.”One of the ways the collection addressed that idea was with off-kilter asymmetries. Fancy silk was cut into functional pieces and a black and white plaid broke up the solids. Andersen’s sincere admiration of Dormand’s grace and bravery was translated into the collection, which made it warmer and more relatable.
