Note on Tone

Looking back at old entries, there seems to be a brassy rude tone of voice that I don't recall feeling would be appropriate for a blog post on a creative I am collaborating with / reviewing. 

I could be totally wrong, lots of these are very old posts. I don't however feel I would insult people even if I honestly felt it wasn't my aesthetic at the time. 

 

The tone might be a little off, but again I'm not going to go in and edit or change any posts....! Although I'd like to.

2024 update

 Just reactivating this blog after a long time lapse. I noticed the 2014 posts don't look quite right, but I've included screenshots of 29 drafts that were... lost. The topics are still there, I just don't know what happened to the content. I've published everything else I can and hope you enjoy my archive!

STYLESPO: A/W 2014

A lack of inspo from this season's shows in Stockholm coincides quite nicely with the start of autumn/winter 2014. LOADS of great stuff there! 

So I decided to curate my own superband of brands, including Deitas, House of Dagmar, Hunkydory, J. Jindeberg, and Ida Sjostedt. I've included pieces for casualwear, work, outwear and events.

Key pieces for me are silk tops and dresses, oversized outerwear and knitwear, a slender bottom silhouette for work with pencil skirts and leggings, and Russian textiles (scarves?!) to pop against the neutral colours.

THE BEST OF STOCKHOLM FASHION WEEK S/S 15 . . . SO FAR

Cheap Monday's concept (New Doom! which reflects "a naïve and youthful direction, the positive spirit of the innocent in the face of a gloomy environment.")

J. Lindeburg's makeup

Diana Orving's dresses

BACK's knitwear and jersey pieces

and Isabell Yalda Hellysaz's outerwear

I haven't been completely blown away by any of the collections so far. So, looking forward to seeing more tomorrow (the final day).

TIME WILL PASS, AND WE SHALL GO AWAY FOR EVER, AND WE SHALL BE FORGOTTEN, OUR FACES WILL BE FORGOTTEN, OUR VOICES, AND HOW MANY THERE WERE OF US; BUT OUR SUFFERINGS WILL PASS INTO JOY FOR THOSE WHO WILL LIVE AFTER US, HAPPINESS AND PEACE WILL BE ESTABLISHED UPON EARTH, AND THEY WILL REMEMBER KINDLY AND BLESS THOSE WHO HAVE LIVED BEFORE
