After a season’s hiatus, A. Roege Hove—known for its innovative approach to traditional craftsmanship.—is back and better than ever with a spring/summer '25 collection that reminds us what she does best: impossibly technical, body-conscious knitwear.

The collection featured beautiful technically-designed knit pieces paired with understated black heels and simple makeup; perfectly adhering to the simplistic values of the Scandi Style.

Danish designer Amalie Røge Hove paid homage to her craft by staging her spring/summer 2025 show in a massive beer brewery; framing the looks with almost futuristic-looking huge steel tanks, reflecting back Røge Hove’s meticulously crafted, sculptural, knitted garments that are so typical of the brand and are meant to highlight the body's natural curves. “I always like something that looks either a little futuristic or a little cold in the way,” Hove says.

Though this collection is completely, unapologetically A. Roege Hove – technique-forward knitwear separates that hug the body, plays on transparency and opacity, a palette in primarily black and white (with pops of 'brat summer' green) – a lot has changed. After taking a one-season hiatus, the brand is back in a new form that finds Røge Hove joined by two business partners. Niels Eskildsen and Jakob Berre Eriksen promise to handle the nitty gritty of running a fashion business, leaving Røge Hove free to focus entirely on what she’s good at: that aforementioned craft. “For me, it was finding partners where I could really focus on the creative side,” she says.

There has been a major change, too, in Røge Hove’s private life: the designer recently welcomed her second child. It’s fitting for the second coming of A. Roege Hove, given that the brand initially launched when she was about to have her first. “I’m really happy to be back,” she says. “My new child is three months old now. I couldn’t wait any longer to be back creating something.”

To that end, this collection is a reintroduction of sorts, reminding Røge Hove’s fans of what made the brand so special to begin with. New this season are clever clashes of material and technique. A standout dress, for instance, marries knit with woven material, the latter loose and undefined with the former, stiff and structured, holding the garment in place. Elsewhere, a new jacquard that creates a sort of print out of the material itself. Stiffer, sturdier cardigans and ladylike dresses with asymmetrical flouncy hems promise to broaden her audience beyond those willing to free a nipple.

The collection felt fresh and sophisticated with a muted color theme of blacks, whites and greys — accented by a few bright green key pieces that elevate the looks from formal to playful — with eye gaze at the future of fashion.
