TODAY

Long time since I have posted a my style, but I have not felt inspired or inspiring in a long time. Not very inspired today either, but I love my new 5xl grey melange hoodie.

SVT 2: VELVET

Right now (21.30) every wednesday (with reprise on sundays) you can catch one of the best (or the best) fashion programs on tv. Swedish television that is of course. Tonights topic is black.
Check out this teaser (where you also can see old programs).

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.

FAFAFA

No, I am not referring to the Datarock tune, but the wonderful fafafa from jewellery designer Vibe Harsløf. The pieces are classy yet with colours and a playful look.
I would love to spice up my plain white tees with some of these!

WOOD WOOD AW 08/09

Prints for tees and sweaters


The latest Wood Wood-collection got mixed rewievs. I personally do not think these pictures from the show are doing justice to the clothes. In real life I thought the collection was smart, streety (and for girls with a feminin touch without the usual glamour/too dressed up look). The chinos pants was fantastic and I loved the timbershirts. I also liked some of the prints.

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.

MISS KITTIN

Miss Kittin played at the famous Copenhagen-club Vega. Great fun and very techno.

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.

LOOK BACK: CHLOE FALL 2006

I love this collection to bits! Allthough it is not a style I normally wear, I think this Chloé collection from 2006 is a huge inspiration. The volume shapes, the layering, the earthy colours: give it to me and I would wear it everyday!

I like this collection a lot more than the spring collection. It feels more street and down to earth with references to for instance 80s new wave. My cup of tea.

THE SUPERMODELS

The aw 08/09 Carin Wester collection made me think about Chanel and the supermodels in the 90s. Browsing through pictures from google makes me remember when I as a teenager and sat at home, looking through fashion mags and thinking about who I liked the most of them. Back then, it was more about the models (which you never could get enough of) than the clothes and the fashion. My favourite was always Linda (no last names when it comes to supermodels), allthough I liked Helena also.
Funny thing, lots of the pictures are very nude-ish, but as I wrote, it was all about the models.


It is impossible making a post about supermodels without the George Michael videos "Freedom 90" from 1990 (I think) and "Too funky" from 1992.


"Too Funky"

FASHION AGAINST AIDS

H&M have released their Fashion Against Aids campaign, and today I got these two tanks designed by Henrik Vibskov and Chicks On Speed. I have not tried them on, but I hope to keep them both. My all over favourite must be the Use Condom-tee by Katherine Hamnett.
Which one do you like?

CARIN WESTER AW 08/09

It all reminds me of Chanel in the early 90s, Madonna and the "Lika a prayer"-album and a several music videos from the same period. I think many of the swedish collections seems very feminine with shiny materials and a dressed up look.

FRIDAY FLICK

Not exactly hip house, but definitely house. One of the first and most classic house track: Steve "Silk" Hurley: "Jack your body" (not sure if this is the original video, if there was ever made one).



Bonus flick:

A version of Bizarre Inc´s "I´m gonna get you" performed by Britney Spears on Mickey Mouse Club. So funny, cool 90s outfit (and I actually really hope Britney can get her act together).

BIRTHE LOVES FASHION IS 1 YEAR!

Just remembered that it is one year since I posted my first blog entry. Time flies.
Last week the blog passed 100.000 page views.
Thanks so much to everyone who checks in! I love you!

MUM VISITING

I got to some small gifts today, and I ended up with this bracelet (very Givenchy aw 07), a necklace with a mirror and a hat that looks like a mash up between something Little Steven would wear and an old maids hat. Everything from H&M. Nice! (and thanks mum!)

ACNE JEANS AW 08/09

I think this look is very 90s. The more sophisticated side of the 90s with ruffled blouses, tailored (suit)pants and dressed up shoes (and of course the Dr. Martens-ish boots).
