Steen & Strøm, Oslo’s luxury department store set within the city’s Promenaden fashion district, has partnered with Oslo Runway for the upcoming season to showcase the best of the Norwegian fashion industry.

Oslo Runway and Steen & Strøm’s strategic partnership will contain a program of exclusive activities from August 14 to August 19, 2023, hosted at the prestigious Steen & Strøm department store, and the highlight will be an exclusive fashion peers-only event.

Oslo Runway is the largest fashion event in Norway and will once again take place at the iconic department store. As part of the partnership, Steen & Strøm will be hosting a pop-up store presented exclusively by Norwegian designers.

“Our partnership with Steen & Strøm for Oslo Runway 2023 will celebrate exceptional Norwegian talent in fashion and design. Together, we aim to continually elevate the local fashion scene and ensure that local creatives are seen and celebrated with the world.” comments the CEO of Oslo Runway, Elin Carlsen.

Since 1797, Steen & Strøm has been providing the latest in fashion and design, consistently adopting a forward-thinking approach. With an annual footfall of over two million visitors, the six-story department store is the primary destination for exploring the newest trends in Norwegian fashion. It presents a fitting platform to promote Norwegian fashion designers who will exhibit their works during Oslo Runway.

In addition, the iconic department store nestled in Oslo’s luxury fashion district Promenaden provides the perfect scenario for a comprehensive shopping experience, featuring local designers and an impressive selection of Scandinavian and international brands, along with Scandinavia’s largest Beauty Hall and a gastronomic Food Hall.

Steen & Strøm’s Executive Director, David Wilkinson, said, “We are privileged to dedicate a part of Steen & Strøm once again to Norwegian design. We hope everyone visiting Steen & Strøm during Oslo Runway will take a moment to engage with, and discover, up-and-coming Norwegian talent. Our goal is for Steen & Strøm to be the platform for the Norwegian fashion industry to propel itself to reach the global stage – a journey we are proud to be a part of.”

Steen & Strøm’s Head of Marketing, Kaia Kongsli, added, “The team at the department store and Oslo Runway have combined to establish the epicentre for all things fashion in Norway. This centre of fashion excellence is designed to encourage and promote the very best in Norwegian fashion, giving designers and creators a platform to promote their unique looks. Steen & Strøm has always been a leading ambassador for local and international talent and will continue to push the industry forward.”
