FRIDAY FLICK

Maybe the best track of 2007 and still great in 2008. Love love love it, how uplifting can a song be? Makes me want to dance all night long, something I will tonigh at Black Devil Disco Club at Digitalo. Will try to take some pix, so Bergen: dress up!

Puzique: Don´t go (do not think this is the official video, but put on you headphones and turn up!)

MY NEW SHOES?

I am planning on getting these shoes from Acne. They are amazing with a wedge heels, suits me well since I am the worst to walk in both high and low heels. The coat is nice as well. I like!

NO NO NO NO NO

I like the NO-consept of the Victor&Rolf-aw 08/09 collection. And I guess we will see a lot of those padded (?) boots for autumn!

JUNYA WATANABE AW 08/09

OMG! I just love this collection! So simple and so genious. I love the shapes and how the jersey drapes around the body. I think this is one of the best aw-collections so far, mostly because it is so down to earth, but with advanced techniques, and shoes are amazing.

MOUSSAKA MOUSSAKA

Gonna make moussaka and greek salad for dinner!

MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA AW 08/09

I really love the bodysuits, the monocrome look, the different patterns in layers and the diagonally silk capes. Not so sure about the supersized necks, but I guess these are more for the show, allthough it does send a clear message about the proportions. I like!

REMEMBER THESE?

Acne Jeans is celebrating 10 years and have reproduced the Mic Red Stitch.
One hundred pairs of the jeans with the red stitching was made when Acne first started making clothes, and the rest is scandinavian jeans history.

MR. OIZO

Went to see Mr Oizo on saturday. He played hard and I liked that he did not play all the common club hits, but he played his "flatbeat" of course. He was drinking straight from the bottle and smoking illegal behind the decks. Crazy man.

SIGN OF LIFE

I am in Oslo, celebrating my friends birthdays. Picture from the train ride from Bergen to Oslo, nice trip, but not much eyesight in the snowstorm. Nice travelling by train, I can recommend it.

NEW FAVOURITE CHINOS: WOOD WOOD

MEN IN TIGHTS PART TWO

The Bernhard Willhelm short film presentation of the aw 08/09 collection is now out. Men in Tights is all about body, movements, tights, knee-highs and flashes of male bottoms.

See it here!

JIL SANDER AW 08/09

I say it again. Jil Sander (and Raf Simons) makes me want to be a minimalist. Especially loving the jackets and the dresses. Of course I would mix it with something more streety, if I ever was able to invest in a garment like this (not in this life though).

SHE´S GOT THE LOOK!

I think about Dries Van Notens spring collection constantly. It is so brilliant!
If you want a one-piece for spring, my best bet is on a flower top, sweater or dress from Dries. I am already planning to look for my Dries-piece in New York.

FREUDIAN KICKS

New shop in Oslo! And my sources tells me, by far the best in Oslo. Freudian Kicks it is.

THOM BROWNE WARDROBE GUIDE

Ont that I hink must have inspired the young/old look must be Thom Browne. Known for his short and often rolled up pants, Thom swears to a tailored look both in private and for his brand.
How to work the look according to Thom:
Shoes: Heavy black leather wingtip shoes with no socks.
Socks: If you wear socks it has to be knee-highs.
Trousers: Must sit right at the top of the ankle and it must not break on to the shoe. my trousers are 2-3 inches shorter than normal with a turn-up as well.
Shirt: A white round-collared shirt, unironed.
Watch: Small and tight to the arm
Grey suit jacket: Timeless and rich.

Seen in Copenhagen. Not sure if these are knee-highs (!) but colourful and pattern socks is a must.

OLD AGE TEENS

One thing is certain. The next big thing for boys is the young/old look. With inspiration from the preppy style and the Ivy League colleges in America (like Princeton and Yale), the look is based upon quality and classic items like shirts, vest, chinos and leather shoes.
Our Legacy goes for the young/old look:

FRIDAY FLICK

Even though this video is from 1982, it gives me a strong 90s feeling. Love the look: tribal, saphari hat, mohawk hair. It has somewhat a cyberpunk vibe. Boy George was actually the first singer in this band created by Malcolm McLaren, but they got big with Annabelle Lwin (only 13 years old at the time) as lead singer.
Bow Wow Wow: I want candy.

RAF SIMONS + EASTPAK = AMAZING!

Raf Simons and Eastpak has made the most fantastic backpacks I have ever seen. Saw them irl in Copenhagen shop Paristexas. Very oversized, very amazing and a strong yet understated Raf Simons signature (and a bit of Eastpak in there as well). I like a lot!

STINE GOYA AW 08/09

Danish Miss Goya survives the "hype" and delivers a good collection. Saw some stuff in Copenhagen and the quality and shapes lookes amazing. She has her own signature. Notice the mirror necklaces, quite similar to the one I bought at H&M two weeks ago (Stine had them in her spring collection 08 as well).

PACKET FROM BERLIN

My top





Yesterday I got a packet from Berlin, sent to me from my friend Andreas who has lived there for the last six months. We share a love for oversized tees, sweaters and so on, so he got me three tees in grey, black and white in 8 x-large as well as a grey melange hoodie (seen in my style picture below).
But the best thing of all: he has made me an oversized top. It is designed and sewn by Andreas and it is so great! It looks really nice and the garment is flawless. Maybe a designer in the coming? You got my support Andreas!
