Inspired by Håfström’s enchanting painting, *Skogen (The Forest)*, this collection invites you to wear a piece of art that resonates deeply with nature and creativity.
A Tribute to Nature and Art
As we delve into the vibrant world of Jan Håfström, it’s hard to ignore the layers of history and creativity that inform his work. For over 50 years, Håfström has traversed various mediums—creating abstract paintings, sculptures, and films. His latest venture allows his artistic vision to transcend traditional boundaries as his work becomes wearable art.
Roots of Collaboration
This is the second collaboration between Håfström and A Day’s March. Their first project revolved around Håfström’s enigmatic alter ego, *Mr. Walker*. However, this new capsule shifts focus to a singular, evocative piece: *Skogen*, painted between 1967 and 1968. This celebrated artwork captures a mystical forest scene, showcasing tree forms surrounded by lush, textural vegetation that envelops the viewer in deep greens and browns.
“*Skogen* is another world—a place that exists in my dreams. It can be seen as a lost realm, which is exactly what makes it so enchanting,” reflects Håfström on his masterpiece. This painting serves as the foundation for a collection designed to evoke the essence of nature.
Key Pieces to Explore
Transforming the essence of *Skogen* into fashion, this limited-edition collection features beautifully crafted garments and accessories that embody a deep reverence for the natural world.
