On a particularly high-spirited night at a restaurant in Stockholm, among good friends and family, AMIK Studio went from being an idea to an actual possibility.
.
The table cloths at the somewhat hipsteresque restaurant was made out of brown protective paper and after a second bottle of red wine the plates were cleared, pens handed out, and the first business plan for Amik Studio was written down right then and there.
.
The name AMIK was a no brainer. Champagne was ordered, and AMIK Studio was born. Founder Amelie Klingspor was handed the former table cloth – now an invaluable first draft of her dream – and went about into the night.
.
Since then the table cloth has been replaced, but the core of the company is still the same. What started as a frustration with the lack of choices when it came to formal dressing with a twist, ended up being her main focus. With a passion for high end, well-tailored and sustainable fashion, Amelie Klingspor wanted to change the way we think when we hear the term eveningwear.
