Fresh off the heels of the couture shows, Mercedes-Benz Stockholm Fashion Week kicked off its Autumn/Winter 2013 season in the capital yesterday. The aim? To attract the international fashion community, press and fashion buyers to the Swedish fashion scene.

Not to be outdone by their Parisienne counterparts, the Swedish fashionistas braved the cold and where out in their droves. Many of whom were eager to showcase their own unique style.

Feeling curios? During fashion week (January 28 to February 10) there are many exhibitions throughout the city. However, some are invite only. Check here for up-to-date information. Alternatively drop by Berns – a hive of activity this time of year – to find out what all the hype is over. You might even catch a glimpse of a celebrity or two.
