oslo fashion week: nina jarebrink.

Photos by me.


I went to take some pictures of the viewing of Nina Jarebrink's design. The viewing was outside and it was raining and I got a spot far back, so the pictures aren't excellent, but I did the best I could. I recommend you to take a look at her design at NinaJarebrink.com. The main essence of her design is her elegant knitwear with strong recognizable patterns.



I like the fact that her design is very simple. Few colors, lovely jewelries making the outfit complete and natural make up on the models.

oslo fashion week: pia haraldsen for agape.

I was very excited about Oslo Fashion Week and I saw several designer's collections. Here are some photos I took at Pia Haraldsen for Agape.

Norway's fashion elite?

I'd love to hear your reactions to her collection. For those of you not familiar with her, this is her first collection and she designed it for the norwegian fashion house Agape. It was mostly a dress collection and she has no experience as a designer before. She is a familiar face among the norwegian celebrities, still nobody really know why she is "famous". Well, she is related to the norwegian queen, and started her public career in 2001 after dating the hereditary grand duke of Luxembourg - in which she met in a royal wedding. After this she's had several jobs as a TV hostess and she's been a columnist for a norwegian newspaper, VG and the fashion magazine, Cosmpolitan.

When it comes to her dress collection at OFW the audience had mixed reactions. Personally it gave me flashbacks to the 90s with all the fabrics in velvet, the diamonds and the long, slim dresses with a flared bottom. She confessed to the press that she was done with the sketches for her entire collection within a week. I would have recommended her to use more time and release her collection for the next OFW instead. She'd have more time working on the designs and hopefully her collection would have been better received by the audience.

After the viewing the designer was happy, despite all the critiques, and she spoke warmly about the velvet fabric making it's comeback this autumn. I don't think this will be a hit the upcoming season, and personally I did not like her design. But the only thing I believe she scored on was that long dresses is in the wind right now - or more correctly - the maxi dresses are, these dresses in velvet fabrics and with a flared bottom, is not. "One shoulder" dresses has also been seen in fashion lately, but I don't believe it will stay for long. Do you?

welcome to trend visions.

I'm an experienced blogger who enjoy to share my thoughts and opinions. I've always had a huge interest in fashion, music, technology and photography- so this is what I spend most of my time on. Music has taken a great part of my life as I enjoy singing, playing guitar and write music a much as listening to it. Besides music I've had a great interest in technology. Being updated in the world of technology is one of my greatest interests, as well as taking pride owning the latest technical devices. Photography has always been a passion of mine. I bought my very first DSLR camera from Canon in December '07 and it has been my best friend ever since.

Now that you've gotten a little indication of who I am I will present you with the idea of this blog. As already mentioned fashion is one of my greatest interests. Fashion inspires me in so many ways and I take pleasure in shopping, reading about fashion and wear the latest trends.

However. Like many other I read fashion magazines and fashion reports where the editors and journalists tells us what to wear the upcoming seasons. They predict the next seasons trends. Since I am very curious of me I would like to know who decides the next seasons trends? Who decides what we will dress like and why is it that some previous trends appear back into fashion? And probably most important what does the trends have to say about the time they appeared?

I'd like to question and analyze some trends from several decades and hopefully enlighten my readers as well as create a dialog with all of you. I'd love feedbacks from my readers and I'm curious to hear what all of you think of the selected topic. Whether you agree or not - I'm excited to get to know your thoughts and opinions. I look forward to many interesting discussions with you.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any idea on a topic for me to look at - or simply share an opinion. Everything is appreciated.

Let's spot some trends.
