TRAVEL DATES
I´m leaving Sweden for England today. Feels all right except for the regular worry of luggage overweight, and that it feels like my tonsils have mutated into golf balls.
If to wish for any kind of luxury luggage I would choose the whimsical Louis Vuitton which was featured in "The Darjeeling Limited".

WELCOME TO THE CANDY SHOP
It´s caramel sweet, it´s something to wear while eating cookies and cream and having tea- it´s Luella!
My thoughts are dragged to Minnie Mouse and a mix between the 50´s polka dot pattern and something slightly reminiscent of the 80´s volume, while checking this collection out.
Down the catwalk the models are swagging the delicate round necked coats, draped dresses, high waisted shorts, chic jackets and seductive blouses in shades of cream, raspberry red, peach, nougat and cotton candy pink.
The swag-a-lagging is probably caused, and made available, by the heels that are not twisting ankle high, rather suited for a walk in the town. The pointed toes are adorned with bows upon which pastel coloured flowerbeds seem to grow.
And the bows are as present in the ss'10 collection as the flowers where two years ago. In the hair, on show straps, in necks, decorating the accentuated waists etc.
I believe Walt Disney would have enjoyed this, and he do seems to have had a finger in the pie somehow when the make up was made- colourful crayon lines.

CLEANING OUT MY CLOSET
I´m leaving on a jet train, or X2000 or whatever you want to call it. Lame it is since the internet is working quite briefly and my body feels like it want to go to sleep for a week or so.
Went shooting summer'10 clothes yesterday, fun fun times and a 12 hour day, then went home for some heavy packalacking and totally stressed out becaue my stuff didn´t longer fit in the suitcase or the other bags.
Had my last day doing work experience and it felt a bit sad to leave, but never look back is quite my motto. I got some great make up and we had wine and peanut ings and talked for ages.
Am having water and a coffee, trying to stay awake cause I won´t reach my destination until 23.31 to be precise. However I cleaned my computer (read: put some images and old texts in the trash) and then I found some amazing pics.

I BLAME COCO
Yesterday it was the official premiere for the longed after widely spoke about film Coco- before Chanel.
Models, bloggers, designers, rock stars, media personalities, shop owners and fashion lovers was crowding the red carpet. The outfits mostly being black and white with red lipstick and pink bags to accentuate, from utterly boring to amusing I must say.

JUST NOT FUN
If to believe the press and if one judge by the look on her face in 90% of the paparazzi shoots Victoria Beckham´s marriage is not that fun, neither is her collection that was showed on Sunday.
A lot of money was spent on the advertising of her collection, and it was parted opinions about the penetration effect of it.
I like it though, cause I romanticise swinging in Sloane streets off course wearing a dress,too bad that the dresses was quite out of focus.
However, the collection consists out of..daaah dresses! Raspberry red, dramatic black, sunny yellow and midnight hues. Simple little garments with detail cuts, adorned belts, shoulder pads and floating skirts from mini to midi length.
The backdrop: dark floor, white walls; simple, clean, but boring. Doing a debut collection in New York in my opinion demands a bit more. And being even more pessimistic, but with an optimistic touch I say: "well, it´s her first really, maybe next time. As a guest designer it would work, no doubt". And those grey platform shoes is something I could imagine wearing.

HOLY BODY
The shooting star Alexander Wang showed his collection on Saturday and the praises has not stayed away this year either. The collection is like cheerleader meets sports guy in a sombre colour scale that range from blue´s to grey´s, to white and brown tones and off course, stripes.
Soft meets hard in the outfits to create that edgy balace that Wang is known for. Knitted knee high socks paired with animal printed heels, laced mini shorts with backcombed braid, sculptural rugby shoulders in thick leather on the fluffy cotton dress.
The trend of transparent is shown in fine knitted striped garments, the ripped stockings that been paraded on every street in every corner of the world is now occupying sweaters, t-shirts, skirts etc. And off course there is biker influences in form of gross zips, black, studs.
Wang also exposes calves, belly buttons, waist and stomach with subtle holes in the dresses and socks and continuing the belly button top trend.
His friend, muse and not lesser known Erin Wasson echoes this self-disclosured trend in the Erin Wasson x RVCA collection, where belly and waist is up for looks.
The relaxed fit collection goes in nude tones, pink, denim, white with clinging metallic silver and gold to accentuate. Wasson also embrace the laid back hippie look with flared, wide legs and floating hair.
There´s a lot of things common in Wang´s and Wasson´s collection, the colour scale, the style, the holes and the visible socks for example. A result from being very good friends?
What we also can discern, because of earlier experiences is that those things common is going to be trends for the next summer. Me myself find this hole-thingie, that expose all the parts that I rather hide, a bit scary, and when summer comes will not that burn (I hopefully catched in the spring) more look a rash?

WET LOOK
Just came out of the shower after a long days work, but it has been really really fun!!
The team of seven dwarfs (one photographer, photographer assistant, stylist, fashion assistant, me, hair & make up woman and model)left at 6.30 this morning. After a half hours drive we took a taxi boat for another half an hour. When we arrived at one, among the other thousand islands, in Stockholm´s archipelago a little walk felt tempting.
Side by side we carried the luggage through the terrain of mountains under the sky that looked alarming cloudy. Since there was no road, or even a path, we lost the track but the photographer who knew where the house we were supposed to hold court ran in front to find, and lucky did he got!
We hanged the clothes up, make up suitcase was spread over the table and then we all sat down for breakfast before we started the process of shooting Summer'10 fashion.
The clouds disappeared and the sky turned beautiful blue, the light was great and it was a might fine day. I got to learn a lot about different lights and that dark green converse look nice with beige chinos.
After shooting ten pictures, one cover, laughing our heads off and I had been eating hazelnut cookies from Lidl the clock was 17.30 and we left for home. Everything went so smooth that we all where amazed. Didn´t got home until 20.30 since I was walking the streets thinking about how much I will miss everything when I leave in one week. But now, bed and tomorrow another shoot.
"Can you please catch the light?"
"Walk towards me, look flirty! Just like that, yes! Yes!"
"The light is so hard right now."
Quotes from a photo shoot, maybe should make a dictionary.
TATA!

NEW YORK AND THE FASHION WINDOW
Tomorrow New York fashion week will take off. If you happen to be in The Big Apple check out the schedule here! Their will be a lot of legging in stiletto heels between Bryant Park and MAC & MILK which is where the shows will be held.
The recession is also mirrored in the fashion world in many mysterious and unmysterious ways. And maybe it´s because of the economic climate that 30 designers, Hollywood star loved Proenza Schouler among others, have decided to have no charge at their shows.
Marc Jacobs is one of those not living as large as he used to (who isn´t?) but his famous after-party is back! This year Lady Gaga will let her star shine at this invitation only party following mr Jacobs show on the 14th.
What makes my heart flutter and my pride grow is that the Swedish models are highly popular on the catwalk.
Tilda Lindstam, that caught the fashion world´s critical eye while modeling Sonia Rykiel´s restort collection.
Mimmi Söderström and Hanna Holman, modeling the Miu Miu Fall´09 campaign
