Nordic Touring
Well Stockholm Fashion Week by Berns is over now for another season. It’s funny how quickly a fashion week can fly by - one minute you’re saying hello to the Facehunter at the opening show, the next you’re riding a friend home on the back of your bike after the closing party. Just because the week is over however doesn’t mean that I’m finished posting photos just yet. Oh no - there are quite a few more photos to come from the fashion week venues and from the streets of Stockholm. I’m heading to Oslo tomorrow as well…so photos next week from Oslo and Stockholm…it’s Stylesightings Summer in Scandinavia tour 2009! I should totally make tour t-sirts with streetstyle photos on the front and give them away or sell them in like a parking lot or something. haha xo eddie
Swedish Muse - Anna

Swedish Bargain Hunting
When trying to not only maintain but grow a fashion label in the midst of a recession, it probably doesn’t hurt to be thought of as cheap. That’s especially true when your line is thought of as well-priced (cheap), yet forward thinking and innovative on the design side (not cheap). That’s the best of both worlds and it goes a long way toward explaining the success of Cheap Monday. Their show and after/drinks thing was the biggest and coolest thing on the somewhat reduced show schedule this season in Stockholm. It was held in a huge, nearly hanger-sized space…on the grounds of an old telephone factory on the outskirts of the city…now the home of Konstfack art college. Here are some of the kids who turned up on the night. Yeah it was at night…it stays light outside until around 11pm here this time of year. xx eddie
‘holm Girls (and Boys)
Hey - it’s Eddie here. Yeah I’m in Stockholm for Fashion Week by Berns at the moment. I saw cool shows yesterday from Dagmar, The Local Firm, and Cheap Monday. Cheap Monday - with new creative director Ann-Sofie Back - put on the biggest show of the day by far. (More about that later.) Today and tonight are less about shows, more about presentations and store openings and parties. Here are some of my shots so far…xx
Indie Cindy or Country Cutie?
Yesterday at the garden cafe Lasse i Parken in Hornstull - one of my favorite summertime hangouts in Stockholm. I’m in town this week for fashion week and more…talk to you soon…xxx
Stockholm Sunset
So I’m back in New York shooting some new street style photos to share with you guys. Before we get to that though, I wanted to post these photos from my last day in Stockholm. I was in Stockholm for Fashion Week by Berns…and often when a fashion week has ended I feel the need to do something much quieter. If I happen to be in a city with a famous old cemetery (like Pere Lachaise in Paris), I will often spend my day off wandering around it. Going out shopping or going somewhere busy for lunch or whatever still feels too much like I’m still in the midst of things. What’s quieter than a cemetery, right? Plus the grand old ones just look cool - I get my fix of visual stimulation for the day without the crowds and chaos. Stockholm has a knockout old cemetery known as Skogskyrkogarden. The UNESCO World Heritage-listed site should definitely not be missed if you happen to be in town. Don’t expect ornate or gothic monuments - the Swedes in death as in life don’t really like to stand out or be ostentatious. The thing to see here are the unbelievably beautiful grounds…enormous pine and birch trees with the graves scattered among them…soft Scandinavian sunlight on snow covered fields…the famous functionalist buildings - especially the crematorium. Plus you really get the feeling that you’ve made a day trip to the Swedish countryside (and gotten a good taste of what Scandinavia actually looks and feels like), yet it’s only a few minutes from center city via metro. I think winter is the best time to visit as the snow definitely contributed to the already hushed and surreal forest atmosphere. Come check it out while you can…I hear people are dying to get in. xx eddie
