The House of Dagmar’s glam-over continues. To mark their first 20 years, the sister-run Swedish label opened a beautiful new flagship in Stockholm last year. At 21, the brand shortened its name to Dagmar and hired a new design director, Rachael Proud, who was behind Raey, Matches’ in-house brand.“I think we bring out different points from each other,” says creative director Sofia Wallenstam of working with Proud.

Construction has just started on an Ulla Johnson store on London’s Sloane Street. Set to open in August, it’s to be her first standalone boutique outside the US, a milestone and a key to unlocking brand growth. In that regard, it’s been a big 2026 already; after two years in development, Johnson launched a trio of fragrances. “All of them are evocative of a certain memory,” she said. “It had to feel very personal. There’s so much product out there that feels mass-oriented.”The seriousness of running an independent business aside, Johnson is a sensualist by nature. It comes across in…

In the end, more than anything else, we regret the little things we wish we’d done differently. “If only…” Those two words paired together create one of the saddest phrases in the English language.
