Lost for words

Getting the dolls ready for the next window exhibition tomorrow. Feels absurd at the moment.

Style is cheap

Here are some snapshots from my holiday in the States. Beats Karl Johan every time....

Vintage academic Ligia

Selling and buying vintage and secondhand isn't just a hobby. That's certainly true for me; but maybe even more so for Ligia Kras from Brazil. Go to Ligia's blog to read her study on vintage fashion. She has studied the different aspects of vintage and secondhand as a phenomenon. I am even mentioned and quoted, may I mention ever so humbly....

ELLE Brazil looves Unika

If only opening the mail box made me as happy every day as it did today: the lovely Ligia from Brazil has made a feature article about vintage shops around the world for the April issue of Brazilian ELLE. And guess who's on top of the list?

AND a photo by my very own Boyfriend.

Thank you, Ligia!!

Working

I can't believe this is actually part of what I do for a living!

Behind the Scenes: Northern lights, Darres gate, Oslo

Had to create wind with the use of wire and tape attached to the model's dress. That's creativity! Like playing God, actually....Scary.

Want and need

Lukas Moodysson: Life and Death and Kate Moss

Geir Gulliksen talked to Lukas Moodysson at Litteraturhuset tonight. Didn't last forever, which is always preferable, as I tend to get easily bored even when I'm excited. Like it when people know when to finish. And still say what's needed. And sufficient.

Like:

What if I died when I was three?

What if that ant could talk?

What if Kate Moss was my girlfriend?

The different wall papers in my flat

In my flat there are nine different wall papers. I have counted.

Behind the scenes at Linnéa Myhre shoot

Lots of photo shoots lately. Pleased. Work is like a drug, he he. But time to take it a bit easy the next week. Or not. Come to think of it I have to work in the shop as we have a big event coming up on the 28th...Coming back with more later today about that...

The shoot with Linnéa will be published in June. Keep you posted when its out. Make up by Ida-Marie Wiggen, hair by Pia Ruud, styling by me and photo by Tina Rekdal.

Dries Van Noten AW11

Woke up to a snow storm this morning. Has AW11 started already? Don't mind when it looks like this.

Behind the scenes at Alexander Kiellands plass.

Twins, but individuals indeed. Great time in the sun. Lots of weird colours, like mustard and burgundy. Teamed with yellow tights in swim-suit material and Givenchy clutch. Twisted as always.
