Yes, there is always some kind of tricky relationship between two neighbour countries. In this case the swedes are about 1000 horseheads ahead of us norwegians in terms of fashion design.. We apreciate swedish fashion a lot; brands like Acne, Filippa K, H&M, Tiger, Weekday, Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair +++ is well based brands in Norway, and I even work for one of them! At the same time it is so goddamn hard for us to make it at all; outside as well as in our own country. So it is pretty rare to see a swedish initiative to celebrate norwegian design arranged in Stockholm by the renowed swedish trend expert Stefan Nilsson. Is it finally about to loosen up..?
My friends Camilla Bruerberg and Marie Rydland is exhibiting alongside with Kristoffer Kongshaug and the swedish-norwegian stylist Josefin Johansson. It opened yesterday and the is staying for a month! I admire all their work. If you're in Stockholm, GO THERE!!
From top to botton: 1. The four designers. 2. Maries craftmanship. She has woven all the materials herself! 3. Some pieces from Camillas latest collection. 4. Josefin Johanssons beautiful design! 5 and 6. An overview. 7. Kristoffer Kongshaug. Read more at
