February’s inspiration folder

February has been a very weird month for me. I was down with a bad Pneumonia for the most of it (but all better now, thanks) and before I had the chance to get back on my feet I find that it’s almost over. Being sick is bad, by all means, but I have to admit that I finally had the time to watch all the shows of fashion weeks on my iPad in bed, and also to read a lot and watch TV! Which I haven’t done in such a long time. And now it’s back to work, full on. I hope you enjoy the few photos I loved and saved for this post:

Tommy Ton street style photos – London fashion week: Thoughts

After the shows and the collections, what I mostly love exploring is Tommy Ton‘s photos for style.com. He has this wonderful talent of capturing the spirit and character of each fashion capital and it is always so beautifully served.
So – London – have you ever considered showing up to a fashion show holding a Dante book in your hand? Or: How many Celine coats are there and is everyone wearing the same one all the time?
Check out the London street style around fashion week’s shows here at Tommy Ton for style.com.

What do you think? Do you like the London scene?
I, obviously, not so much. Thank goodness for Emmanuelle Alt and her chic assistants for saving the week :)

Cara Delevingne again

Are you absolutely sure you haven’t had enough of Cara Delevingne? If yes, click on Play for her Valentine’s Day video for Love Magazine. And yes, you are not imagining it. She is everywhere, all the time, and by the time you go to sleep after a fuul day of seeing her everywhere, she’s already on her way to get to your tomorrow’s destination.

Karl’s “Mysterious new project”

So Karl Lagerfeld is working on a new “Mysterious and unusual” project, so he says. I feel like he is always up to something and it’s always fascinating. Here is a video where he introduces his new secret, without saying anything too revealing, of course. It looks like it has something to do with furniture. Hmmm. Here’s the Karl way of saying a lot and not saying much at the same time:

I’m a sucker for DANSK Magazine covers

And this one is perfect in my opinion. It’s a teaser published by Dansk to their next issue cover. The thing with Dansk covers is that you can’t take a 1 second look at them. They are always so interesting and beautiful that I always stare at them for much longer and then again and again.

Dare to be Bold: Dior Homme

(photos: style.com)
Looking at the Spring 2013 Dior Homme runway made me sense some very strict classic rules: It is mostly in light navy blue, a little bit of grey, black and tiny bits of red. It is very tailored, even the most casual pieces in it are super done and elegant. I loved it. AND I loved it 10x more when I saw the video Dior made for it, and not because of the clothes. It is very different, bold, and daring. Completely out of Dior Homme strict elegant rules yet very chic and emphasises the young rebellious Dior Homme man. Watch it here:

The real people on Scott Schuman’s photos


I feel like it’s one thing to admire The Sartorialist photos (we all do) and it’s a whole different thing to know the people he is photographing again and again at different times, events and venues. This video is not only well-edited and beautifully done, it is also very interesting and give a glimpse to these real people, not necessarily in high positions in the fashion industry, yet they are fascinating because of who they are and thanks to their simplicity.

The Sartorialist – Personal Portraits from ACTA on Vimeo.

Told you, it’s inspiring and beautiful.

p.s. If you still don’t own The Sartorialist books, I highly recommend them both. I always go back to them for inspiration. You can view and purchase them here through Amazon:
This is the first book –

And this is the second book –

Balenciaga Spring/Summer 13 Men campaign

First images from the new Balenciaga Spring/Summer 13 Men campaign are out now, and as expected – it’s even prettier than the women’s campaign. With somewhat graphic-Japanese touches, the hidden yet very obvious surprise is in the men’s top: it’s totally floral.

Balenciaga brilliant as always.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find a video of the runway in a good quality. Too bad :(

You can see the collection in photos here, it really is an impecable collection!

The real problem with Celine new ugliest sandals

…Is that they are so ugly that I think I’m in love with them and would live in them the entire summer :-D

I mean, take a good look. And then take another one. I know, it’s really hard at first sight. How was your second and third look? Am I crazy or did you fall in love with them too?
