Oslo Runway planning bumper August season to celebrate its first decade
Oslo Runway has revealed plans to celebrate its 10th anniversary with a bumper season this August, in a mega celebration of Norwegian fashion in one of Europe's most go-to cities this decade. According to a schedule released today, Oslo Runway will run from 25 to 30 August 2025, and will include shows by emerging and established names, presented across the Norwegian capital. ORW25 will kick off with an opening ceremony on the Oslofjord in collaboration with jewellery brand Josephine Studio, before diving into the growing interest in Norwegian knitting heritage with Dale of Norway. Oslo Runway is continuing its cross-disciplinary collaboration with Munch, the city's key new art museum, opened in 2021, featuring the world's best collection of works by modernist master painter Edvard Munch. This year's commissioned work is the show 'Solen' by Pearl Octopuss.y. The show will have a pre-premiere open to the public, with the main premiere being invite-only. Oslo Runway will also celebrate a triple 10-year anniversary together with Promenaden — the capital's key shopping thoroughfare — and Norwegian Fashion Hub with an anniversary dinner party at the Munch Museum. 'It feels incredible to celebrate 10 years with nearly 60 Norwegian designers, artists, and brands on the official programme! I'm so proud of what we achieve together, both at home and abroad, and of how the event now contributes to elevating fashion as both a creative industry and a cultural field,' said Oslo Runway CEO Elin O. Carlsen. With the capital as the backdrop, there's a line-up featuring both big names and emerging talents. Returning brands this season include Envelope1976, Livid, Pearl Octopuss.y, Woodling, Pia Tjelta, Christian Aks, Kari Traa, F5 Collections, ESP, and Julie Josephine. 'It's energising to see some of the most exciting brands in Norway return to the programme. We're also very curious to see what newcomers like Blæst, Sixthgear, Camilla Pihl, Ella & Il, and Hartlino will bring to their Oslo Runway debut,' added Carlsen. There will also be a new Talent Award by Steen & Strøm — Norway's pathbreaking department store — during ORW25. A professional jury will nominate a graduating student from each of the design schools: Esmod, Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO), and OsloMet. All three will be exhibited at Steen & Strøm, where they will be introduced to both the press and the public. In collaboration with Steen & Strøm, a special pop-up will highlight the craftsmanship of Norwegian designers. A unique opportunity to explore brands like ESP, Tarinii, Bastante Textile, Gobmi, and Cala Jade and discover their creativity, design, and unique use of materials. Elsewhere, store and concept gallery Sorgenfri will invite independent Norwegian designers to showcase their top pieces in a group exhibition Sorgenfri Artwear, where designers will be invited to respond creatively to the question: 'What is the fashion of the future?' Meanwhile, the Oslo Runway NEXT talent initiative programme has selected two new brands, Cohmé Atelier and Wilhelmina, to receive mentorship from industry experts, a one-year membership at the Norwegian Fashion Hub, and funding to host their own shows during ORW25. Finally, the season will also see a new Oslo Runway Tribute Award in honour of a Norwegian designer or a fashion or lifestyle brand that has stood out in the past year. Previous winners include Livid, Tom Wood, Envelope1976, and, most recently, Norwegian Rain. This year's winner, announced at the anniversary dinner at the Munch Museum, will receive prize money of NOK 50,000 — or €4,500 — from Innovation Norway.

FranklinCovey Hosts Exclusive Live Webinar with Bestselling Authors, Amy Edmondson, Stephen M. R. Covey and Liz Wiseman on The Power of Leadership in Uncertain Times
SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FranklinCovey (NYSE: FC): Walker added, "Change isn't the exception, it's the rule. How organizations respond to disruptive moments along their journey will determine whether they simply endure the turbulence, or use it as a catalyst to evolve, adapt, and transform." Paul Walker, FranklinCovey CEO, said, 'When uncertainty hits, it doesn't remain outside an organization. It creeps inside into how leaders lead, how teams perform, and how organizations hold it together when nothing feels stable. Leaders are expected to move fast and stay decisive, without a playbook. Teams are expected to deliver more—with less clarity, less connection, and fewer resources.' To help organizations overcome these challenges, FranklinCovey is hosting an exclusive webinar with Edmondson, Covey and Wiseman for a provocative conversation that will explore the hidden costs of uncertainty and how today's best leaders are breaking through to become change agents during times of disruption. Walker added, 'Change isn't the exception, it's the rule. How organizations respond to disruptive moments along their journey will determine whether they simply endure the turbulence, or use it as a catalyst to evolve, adapt, and transform.' The panel of experts will explore the three barriers no leader can afford to ignore in these uncertain times: The Leadership Crisis: Why outdated leadership models are taxing performance and growth—and what leaders must do now to adapt. The Engagement Recession: How exhaustion, disconnection, and cultures of caution are negatively impacting performance and morale—and how leaders can reignite commitment and resilience. The Adaptability Dilemma: How over-analysis, misalignment, and chronic rigidity are stalling performance—and how great leaders move fast, build trust, and create clarity in times of disruption. ABOUT THE PRESENTERS: Amy C. Edmondson: Amy C. Edmondson is the Novartis Professor of Leadership and Management at the Harvard Business School, a chair established to support the study of human interactions that lead to the creation of successful enterprises that contribute to the betterment of society.

Her 2019 book, The Fearless Organization: Creating Psychological Safety in the Workplace for Learning, Innovation and Growth (Wiley), has been translated into 15 languages. Edmondson's latest book, Right Kind of Wrong (Atria), builds on her prior work on psychological safety and teaming to provide a framework for thinking about, discussing, and practicing the science of failing well. First published in the US and in the UK (Penguin) in September 2023, the book is due to be translated into 24 additional languages and was selected for the Financial Times and Schroders Best Business Book of the Year award.

Immersive art shows in recent years have included the Phoenix exhibition, which marked 40 years since a devastating fire at the minster, and Colour and Light, which explored wildlife in York.A spokesperson for the minster said: "The Talent Awards are open to anyone anywhere in the world and are an opportunity to contribute to the ongoing narrative of a space that has stood as a centre of culture, craft, and community for nearly 1,400 years." Cherie Federico, who runs the annual Aesthetica short film festival in York, is working with the minster on the awards."We're especially interested in how artists can explore themes of water and baptism – powerful symbols of renewal and transformation," she said. The Very Rev Dominic Barrington, Dean of York, added: "No visitor to the minster leaves without a sense of the artistry that generations have poured into this place. "These exciting artistic commissions offer a chance to rediscover, reassess and reassert our mission today through the lens of contemporary art." Listen to highlights from North Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, catch up with the latest episode of Look North.
