Statement: In the hallowed halls of Vigeland’s Museum, where Oslo’s cultural heritage collides with the raw energy of glam, punk and rock ‘n’ roll, #ROOM6 emerges as a bastion of rebellious glamour. Inspired by the fearless spirit of Henrik Ibsen, the bold creativity of Vivienne Westwood and the legacy of DT 500 Mag! Tonight’s fashion extravaganza goes beyond spectacle to embody a thrilling exploration of tradition and innovation.

J.L. Braathen’s collection, an enchantment of sumptuous textures, daring embellishments, and provocative silhouettes, channels Westwood’s pioneering ethos, defying norms with each meticulously crafted piece. Against the backdrop of Vigeland’s timeless sculptures, each model becomes a rockstar in this narrative of style and defiance, their swagger and attitude echoing the maverick spirit of Oslo’s underground scene.

As we gather tonight, let’s embrace the fusion of historical grandeur and contemporary edge, celebrating Oslo’s cultural richness alongside the boldness of glam-punk fashion. #ROOM6 invites us to not only admire the garments but also to feel the pulse of liberation they embody, resonating with Ibsen’s exploration of societal norms and personal freedom.

In the spirit of Ibsen’s dramatic revelations and the unrestrained energy of rock ‘n’ roll, let us embark on this evening with eyes open to the transformative power of fashion. Each ensemble tells a story, and every stitch is a riff on the canvas of self-expression. Oslo, tonight we don our most electrifying attire not just to dazzle but to ignite passion, provoke thought, and inspire new  manevours in style.
