Artsy, punky, re-design film project.

Don't you just wish you were me?
This is the wonderful stuff I've been filling my days with lately.


Film maker Ulrika Rang and me at "work" on the short, punky film about the re-designing of a wedding dress. Working title: Adios MTHRFCKR!


Phases # 1, 2 & 3
Fucking it up.


Duel at high noon.




Phase # 4
Screen printing shop brutality.

Phase #5
Making nice.
Not caught on camera due to the usage of super secret re-designing formulas. ;-)


Phase # 6
The moment of truth - fitting and styling.



The super cool film photographer working the angles from perilous height,
with neither safety net nor body double. Art before safety!



Model Karolina Wojcik looking the part.
Karolina is also a great artist and illustrator. Check it out!



Aaaaand... ACTION!

The filming bit is now finished and Ulrika has the tough job of cutting enough material for about two seasons of weekly tv-shows down to maybe 3 minutes. I don't envy her all that killing of darlings. But I feel confindent in the fact that she is a seasoned pro.
Next week exciting meetings with the musicians we're hoping to work with. Cross your fingers!

You all better do some shopping so I can keep this no profit, artsy shit up!


Ps. Thanks "Emma - the intern" for the stills.

World Champion Stylist


Currently these posters for the Mens Handball World Championship, are all over the place.
I had the pleasure of styling them while Daniel Pedersen took the pics. Happiest of us all though, was the Danish guy who got to be "The Danish guy".


Always a pleasure to work with Daniel! Here in his studio during the shoot. Daniel is the guy with the camera. ;-)



Our models had to rest in between some pretty exerting jumping and screaming. They were brilliant jumpers and screamers, by the way.

Angry young woman... With a sense of humor.


Went to the opening of a great art show by Ella Tillema at Galleri 21 in Malmö.
Do see it if you're in the neighbourhood!








These two paintings will end up in my home...




And this is the size of the lumps of ice hacked loose from the roofs of Malmö city.
Fit for a cocktail party for gigants!

Todays outfit


As opposed to all the adorable little fashionistas blogging about "todays outfit", this is what a fashionpro with years upon years in the business wears on a day when she's working from home.


Todays outfit: Classical Helly Hansen, bright orange, fleece sweater, men's singlet, red long johns (Pierre Cardin!!) and down socks. All from the charity shop except socks which are stolen from hubby. So there you go.... Reality check.

Ps. Actually the pic doesn't give full credit to the horror of the red of the long johns (yeah, NOT leggings, they're bloody long johns) with the warning-orange of the sweater.

Parents inadvertently doing cool and funny stuff.


Last week was my mothers birthday. The whole family was generously treated to a trip to Tenerife. This is my trendspotting from the trip.



My dad has his own take on most things. Not always stylishly so.
But Daddy six-eyes is waaay cool!



My mom considering a choice of two different things on the menu.
Or just discreetly hailing Satan...



This bird is no parent of mine, but it falls under the category "Tenerife trendspotting".
For 2011 I strongly suggest gorgeous, iridescent plumage, bright yellow eyes and and looking intent but very stupid.

Remember where you read it first!

Tenerife toes

Black nail-polish, whitecapped volcano and local beer.


Sun and very salty water.

Overcast and wine. And brilliantly funny Bateman.



Atlantico, mi amor.



Black on black.



Off into the sunset.


Ps. I hate Spanair and I've seen enough man tits to last me a lifetime. Apart from that, it's been a great vacation and I'm sporting a very enviable tan.

Pillow punching - a passion...


Since a few months I've been going back and forth to lovely Vienna. This is my weird and wonderful passion there. Check out our Pillow Fighting Team! This is me and my team mates. Trust me, we are no powder puffs!!!

An evening with the Parisians.



Just after christmas I went to excellent Brogatan in Malmö for a beer with Sebastian.




Just as I'm about to walk out the door, in comes my friend Maria Fors and her husband Alex. We've known each other since our crazy days at Copenhagens Patternmaking Academy in 1986 (!)
She moved to Paris shortly after that and has lived there ever since. So you understand that I don't see her to often and it was such a lovely coincidence.


Maria was equally happy to see me and promptly tried to put a fork in my eye. But I forgave her, took my coat back off and ordered another beer.




Incidentally we share the habit of writing down "very important stuff" on our hands.



The hip and gorgeous Parisians! Fashion designer Maria Fors and her dj/musician husband Alex.
Great to see you guys! And bisou until next time...
Hopefully I'll go visit them this spring. I have sleeping quarters booked under their kitchen table. ;-)
Maria and Alex are serious party people, not to be taken lightly. I know this from experience. It will be tough!



Just to make the evening more intense Jonna showed up. She is very funny and truly disturbed. Here she does nasty things to food and drink while the rest of us were blushing.
When she isn't abusing innocent food, Jonna is in charge of the photo gallery Format. Definitely worth checking out!


Jonna came with Jeff who is very sweet and funny and not nearly as nasty as Jonna. He's also a great photographer.



Thank you all for a great evening!
