Mid-week at Weekday in Copenhagen
Fashion enthusiasts gathered at the Weekday store in Copenhagen’s Amager Torv on Wednesday to celebrate the Swedish label’s newly launched line called Collection – a more tailored, classic, and mature addition to Weekday’s otherwise hip selection. Drinks and a refined assortment of finger food were served as guests looked through the clothing. Francesco, a Florentine student studying in Copenhagen, [...]

Acne women’s collection A/W 2012
Swedish brand Acne, which as usual boycotted Stockholm and presented its new collection in London, has a fine sense of what’s hot, and what’s not. Metallic and padded fabrics, neon green and brilliant red, padded fabrics and a high waist are some of the features of it’s autumn/winter ready-to-wear women’s collection.

There was so much to see and experience at “Supermarket: The Stockholm International Art Fair— that one could easily suffer from sensory overload. Clever ideas, colorful and engaging conceptual art projects provided great entertainment value, but not necessarily a big emotional impact. One clever idea was the “Foreign Exchange” project presented by the QWERTY art [...]
Let’s put Dads on the runway
The first-ever “Strut: The Fashionable Mom Show” took place earlier this week at Lincoln Center in New York City near the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week’s tents. Moms walked down the catwalk pushing strollers or proudly showing off the swelling bellies of pregnancy, according to a news story about the event by wire service AP. To stage [...]

I like fashion brands which take pride in their roots. Erik and Emilia, a pair of designers based in Umeå—about an eight-hour drive north of Stockholm– name their E&E sunglasses after the villages, towns and beaches which inspire them. That’s why some of their frames are called Dorotea, Boden and Jokkmokk. The idea of [...]

There is, to recycle the title of an old Led Zeppelin tune, a whole lotta art going on. This weekend art lovers in the Swedish capital can gorge themselves on not one but TWO huge art extravaganzas. One is called Market, and takes place at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts. The second is [...]

I would love to be on the Mediteranean island of Ibizia right about now. The weather isn’t too bad here in Stockholm— just slightly below freezing with a light snow on the ground– but the dark days get me down sometimes. I want to bury my frozen toes in some warm sand and listen to the sound of waves hitting the shore. [...]
