Sia Arnika

ABOUT THE COLLECTION

​​It-Girl à la Sia Arnika: For the Spring/Summer 2026 collection titled “Summer Time Sadness,” the label presented its very own interpretation. The starting point for Sia Arnika was a common duality: children trying to look like adults – and adults clinging desperately to their childhood as a form of escape. The setting was a large warehouse, with a gleaming stretch limo parked in the middle of the room. The designs reflected the feeling of those summer nights that feel both endless and insufficient. The designer drew inspiration from her own childhood memories as well as the autobiography of Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgård. The result: garments made from completely, sometimes overly sheer fabrics, silhouettes that are tight – almost too tight – and garments cinched where they shouldn’t be. Clothing that is made of pure nostalgia rather than practical logic.

ABOUT THE BRAND

Sia Arnika is a Danish, Berlin-based label exploring hybrid structures and experimental normality, where minimalism meets maximalism. Rooted in craftsmanship, the brand merges Nordic heritage with Berlin’s cultural edge. Challenging convention while balancing wearability and modernity, Arnika’s collections navigate the tension between raw femininity and utilitarianism, organic and synthetic, tradition and rebellion—creating garments that exist in the in-between.
