About the Brand
Founded in 2020, HØST & VÅR is a Norwegian brand established by mother and daughter Elsa Fredrikke Nedrebø and Gunn Auglend Nedrebø. Born in 1989, Elsa grew up immersed in her mother Gunn’s bustling studio. After completing her studies in fashion and pattern cutting, Elsa launched a ready-to-wear capsule collection on a Norwegian online platform. Encouraged by its success, she founded her own brand in 2015, marking the beginning of HØST & VÅR’s journey. With over 30 years of experience in design, tailoring, and pattern making, Gunn brings invaluable expertise to the brand, serving as the backbone of its pattern construction. This passion for fashion has been passed down through three generations, with Elsa now leading the brand’s creative direction. Her grandmother, also named Elsa Fredrikke, remains a cherished inspiration for both Elsa and Gunn.
HØST & VÅR aims to create garments that convey individuality and uniqueness while making a positive impact. Their pieces are cross-seasonal, cross-generational, conscious, cruelty-free, and as sustainable as possible. Acknowledging that complete sustainability is a significant challenge, the brand is committed to making the best choices and continually strives to move further in the right direction. Despite being a small team, they make significant efforts to focus on the entire value chain—from sourcing materials to communicating their values and societal responsibility. HØST & VÅR are transparent about their sourcing and production processes, detailed extensively in their manifesto pages.
Crafting feminine, bold, and colorful garments with unique fabric patterns, HØST & VÅR seeks to create pieces that speak of personality, confidence, a joyful spirit, and a creative connection with the world.
