Scandinavian Fashion

* This is the first in a series of portraits of people who wear a sort of uniform, but still maintain a sense of personal style.

Per Frycklund, a pastor in the Swedish Lutheran church, looks like he just emerged from a Rockabilly concert.  He wears blue jeans with the cuffs turned up, tan boots and a handsome brown leather jacket.  A silver chain hangs from a front pocket.  Per  also wears a black eccleasiastical shirt with the white key collar as a sign of his vocation.  

 After working for several decades as a chef at fine Stockholm restaurants like Riche and Sturehöf, Per was ordained as a priest, a change which he calls “a blessing.”  Now, he cooks up spirtual sustenance for his parishioners.
