Stella Nova
Stella Nova is one of Copenhagen's most enduring and beloved fashion labels — a Danish brand founded in 2002 by designer Trine Skoller, built on the idea that the best wardrobe is one where every piece feels like a small treasure worth keeping. At Kiti we stock Stella Nova because it brings exactly the kind of considered, playful femininity our customers love: clothes that are effortless to wear, thoughtful in their construction, and quietly confident in their design.
Six collections a year, each with its own character, and a design philosophy built on contrast — feminine meets masculine, dressed up meets casual — make Stella Nova one of those brands you discover once and return to season after season.
About Stella Nova
Stella Nova was founded in Copenhagen in 2002 by designer and creative director Trine Skoller, who remains the creative force behind the brand today. Her aim from the outset was to create the perfect must-have wardrobe — one where every item feels like a little treasure, each telling its own story. That ambition has guided the brand for over two decades, and it shows in the consistency and confidence of every collection.
The brand's aesthetic is built on contrast: feminine and masculine, casual and dressed up, simple and playful. Opposites are where new stories are born, and Stella Nova uses that tension to produce clothing that feels fresh without being reactive to trends. Collections are released six times a year, each offering a distinct mood while maintaining the coherent, recognisable Stella Nova universe. A flagship boutique sits in the heart of Copenhagen, where the brand remains rooted despite its international reach.
Sustainability is woven into how Stella Nova operates. The brand prioritises natural, certified, and recycled fibres — organic cotton, wool, viscose, Tencel, and recycled polyester — and evaluates all materials against a Preferred Material Matrix that considers their environmental and social impact. Production is carried out in close partnership with long-term, trusted suppliers who meet the brand's standards for fair working conditions and transparency.
