Teurn Studios Spring 2025 Ready-to-Wear
The belted rave pants Anna Teurnell introduced for resort returned for spring with lots of pockets. The reasons for this, and the hanging pockets on draped gabardine skirts, were practical as well as aesthetic. For security reasons, bags are not allowed at big venues in Sweden, including Gothenburg’s Way Out West music festival. “I don’t like that it is like that,” said the designer on Zoom, “but it’s such a concrete example of how the politics and the world around you can affect what you do.” Limitations can encourage creativity—not that Teurnell needs much nudging when it comes to creating or putting a look together. She’s someone who seems to think in total looks as she designs, considering accessories as well as garments. She topped spring looks with a leather sunhat and grounded some of them with not quite “orthopedic,” but rounded, ballerina flats.Â
Teurnell’s sense of proportions is acute—this season’s jeans were tighter at the rear, the trousers flared—as is her feeling for quality materials. Those trousers were made of a cavalry textile Teurnell sourced from a specialist firm in England. The luxe knit sweater tucked into a pair of light-wash denim long shorts is a double knit. The surprise element was the cotton bow blouse it they were layered over.Â
Teurn Studios is picking up steam, it will soon be carried by Bergdorf Goodman and Nordstrom. The “secret” to the brand’s success is that the clothes are grounded in Teurnell’s own style: “It’s how I dress myself; add on something that is a more basic men’s style look and… [then something] feminine can come in,” she said of one took, but it’s a sentiment that applies across the board. For spring those pretty “somethings” included a leather ruffle top to wear on or off the shoulders, and a pajama-like set in different shades of “makeup” pink.
