Flinga A/W 2010 at OFW

Flinga showed a solid collection both when it comes to the finish of the whole collection and their use of theme. The Flinga-designers make clothing inspired and driven by feminism. This made them this season look into the mystic world of the super heroes. You can see the referances to super heroes in all pieces, both when it comes to ornamentation, the cuts, details, etc. I actually did an interview for fash-art-music-blog-page Smuglesning, so I got to talk a lot with the designers. They wanted to make a collection with a lot of contrasts and they were also inspired by the dynamic human being and the individual. They have mixed unisex and very masculine pieces with feminine outfits. The collection is quite dark, but the feminine dresses in bright pink, yellow and red creates opposition. They want to focus on the androgyn, masculin and feminine.

Here is the link to the interview I did:

You have to excuse the lousy pictures from the runway, but it was hard to get sharp images because of all the smoke.

I wore dad`s Miami Vice blazer, Prada knit, Balenciaga belt, trousers from G-Oslo, necklaces on belt from Camilla Prytz and shades from Cutler & Gross.

Opening of Oslo Fashion Week

The opening of Oslo Fashion Week happened this tuesday. It's a bit funny, because there were so many people who don't really have anything to do with fashion precent. But in Norway a celebrity is what it's worth - big time. Front row there were next to stylists, press and editors e.g. the lady who rolls the lottery balls, a sports journalist, etc. And I, the "it-boy" (what ever), was seated back at seventh row. In the dim lighting I saw even less because of my beautiful shades from Cutler & Gross, so I actually had to stand up at times.

The jeans-designerlabel Mardau & Dean got the Nåløye / Needle eye-award. There were runway shows for NICE - a project for ethical and ecological fashion done by different Scandinavian designers, the shop/workshop/showroom Designerkollektivet (The Designer's Collective) and of course the nominees for Nåløyet.

Under you can see some pictures of some of the people who actually should be at such an event!

Bold as I am, I'm starting with myself at the top. I wore beautiful, beautiful metal studded top by Bernhard Wilhelm from The Henrik Vibskov Boutique, necklace and headpiece/scruncie from Batlak & Selvig and of course the shades from Cuttler & Gross.

This necklace is almost as nice as mine!

I love the pants Martin has borrowed. Marianne is behind him - Hello!

I think Maria is planning on stealing my shades ...

Maya and Siri - two furry ladies. Maya also wore Whyred's interpretation or the who'-heels!

RIP Alexander McQueen

One of the most brilliant and creative designers of the latest decades, Alexander McQueen, was found dead at his home in London this morning.

T-Michael's New Shoes

Yesterday (Wednesday) evening was an evening all about shoes and bellinis. T-Michael showed for the first time his new shoe line in public. And what shoes! Beautiful hand finished shoes in grainy leather. They come in five different colour combinations and they all have the typical T-Michael stitch on the side. I could have and wear them all, but my favourite pair is the blue shoes getting kissed by Cath.

For the occation I had to wear something by the man of the hour. Shirt with stars from T-Michael, top with zippers from Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, star-needle from Camilla Prytz, trousers from G-Oslo, shoes from Marc Jacobs and backpack from Chanel.

My and Cath's favourite pair!

Shirt from Nina Jarebrink

I love my new double breasted buttoned shirt from Nina Jarebrink. Anja says there is something Margiela about it, and I do not disagree. I wore it during Nina's latest show, which I coreographed.

Sonia Rykiel Jumpsuit

In these Sonia Rykiel for H&M-days, it is great to see something real from the French queen of knits. Like this fantastic velvet jumpsuit from the spring 2008-collection on my fab friend Kari. She's ready to disco with her beautiful Louboutin's. Sparkle sparkle!

Costume Awards 2010

Costume Awards attracted ALOT of people as always. This years party was at Ballroom. It was fun. I came with lovely Hanneli and her cute sister Tirill

I wore muff (the thing on my head), necklace, blouse, scarf and scruncies from Batlak & Selvik. Trousers from G-Oslo. Hanneli wore her fantastic dress from Acne and a headpiece which reminded me of The Swan Lake Ballet.
