Friendship & Goodwill to all since 1961

IWC – The International Women Club – Founded in 1961 Patron: H.R.H. Princess Lilian, Duchess of Halland https://www.iwcstockholm.se/

In 1961, our founding member, Sissi Rasmussen, and nine other young wives and mothers new to Sweden met through school and social circles and became friends. They realized that they all faced the same challenges in living abroad. They wanted to share their experiences, learn from each other and most of all meet and make friends during the shorter or longer time they lived in Stockholm. This is how the International Women’s Club of Stockholm was born.

Word spread quickly and the club rapidly grew into a unique international society with regular lunches featuring prominent speakers or performances. Introduction to Swedish culture was established through these lunches, coffee mornings, afternoon teas and visits to art exhibitions. The same applies still today. Over the years the other important aspect of the club, philanthropy, grew in importance.  

For the first time, IWC is honored to present the famous Swedish designer Maxjenny Forslund, with her Maxjenny collection on the runway. https://www.maxjenny.com/

Audiences will be treated to one exclusive and contrasting collection — the fresh creativity of an established star, and the refined elegance of an established name in the fashion industry. An introduction also about Clownmedicin by Eva Riepe who is a hospital clown since 1998. https://clownmedicin.se/

This unique design not only celebrates artistry and innovation but also reflects the spirit of compassion and giving back through fashion.

An inspiring afternoon of couture, creativity, and philanthropy, where fashion meets purpose.
We welcome you to share this memorable celebration of talent and heart.
