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!

THE BW DRESS (AND CPH SHOPPING)

I bought two things when in Copenhagen. I got this dress from Bernhard Willhelm at Wood Wood (only mine is in navy blue cotton), and also a pair of stockings from the same shop.
There are some nice shops in Copenhagen. My favourites:
- Storm: Never bought anything here, but always lots of interesting stuff though most of it is too expencive for me. Saw a pair of Raf Simons hi tops to die for, but I must save for my New York trip and hopefully get a pair there.
- Wood Wood: Lots of clothes from their own brand of course, lots of Bernhard Willhelm especially for girls and a selcetion of c-neeon. For boys there was Visvim shoes, oils skin jackets (no kidding) and many nice (timber)shirts.
- Henrik Vibskov: Elvis on the speakers and a intimate shop. A pleasent surprise was that they had Walter Van Beirendonck! I have never seen his clothes irl before. Also nice stuff from Stine Goya, c-neeon as well as Cassetteplaya tees and of course the lot from Henrik Vibskov.

THE GALLERY

The fashion fair Gallery was quite big and interesting. One thing I noticed was that many brands looks just the same. There where not many brands that stood out of the crowd.
Some did of course: I liked Our Legacy that showed nice boys clothing in fantastic quality and shapes, Siv Støldal had reflex tees that had a very strong 90s vibe, Carin Wester had some fantastic college sweaters and it does not get much better than the Bernhard Willhelm hi tops. I also must mention the boots from Acne that looks like a mix of Red Wing and Dr. Martens.
Other than that: lots of black, leather, boots: a very dressed up look and lots of boring stuff.

COPENHAGEN!

I leave tomorrow for Copenhagen! Looking forward to see what is going on: people, brands, shops and of course the celebration of my friend Are who just turned 30 (rub it in).
I will leave my laptop at home, but I will take pictures and give you all a good report when I get back to Bergen.

PLANS FOR SPRING 08

I think it is time to reveal some of my planned trips this spring. 

First I am going to Copenhagen in february visiting Gallery. A quite new and def the best fashion fair in Scandinavia, with lots of good brands from Siv Støldahl to Martin Margiela and some up and coming brands in between. Also some of my best friends will join for the weekend celebrating a good friends 30 th. birthday, so I guess the trip will be fantastic featuring both fashion and good friends. My favourites!

Then, after nearly 15 years of longing and wanting to go, I am going to New York in march/april!!! Finally! Planning on staying for 10 days, so hopefully I will have the time to have a good look around the city. I have already started to plan what to eat and which restaurants to visit (this is very important to me!) and of course I have started to stalk superfuture for the best sites of good food and clothes. Can´t wait!

Any New York tips for me?
