Sølv Studioet /

m// SOME OTHER GREAT FRIENDS of mine are the girls from SØLV STUDIOET , up and coming NORWEGIAN fashion label with a focus on timeless everyday clothing for women.

'The qualities of and the associations we have to the metal silver are used symbolicly for the values SØLV puts into the product. In Norway, as in many cultures, silver is taken care of, looked at as something precious and solid, and passed down from generation to generation. SØLV sees this as a good way to valuate all material things.'

Below is their 2011 AUTUMN/WINTER COLLECTION, 'ÅSE' - Photography by ANDERS SOLBERG

Kevin Azzopardi /

m// A VERY GOOD FRIEND of mine, fashion designer KEVIN AZZOPARDI has his new collection coming up late this European summer. Kevin is originally from MELBOURNE / AUSTRALIA, but we are so fortunate to now have him here in OSLO!

'Kevin Azzopardi is a fashion-based practice and a platform for the exploration and experimentation of fashion as a creative medium. Drawing inspiration from the process of making, Kevin Azzopardi is focused on analyzing conventional methods of construction and finding new ways to assemble garments. The outcomes see the fusion of the structured and the fluid, and represent a modern take on menswear.'

IKEA cookbook/

m// I would love to get my hands on this amazing IKEA cook book by CARL KLEINER. apparently it was a giveawy to everyone that bought an ikea kitchen a while back...i wonder if its for purchase anywhere though..

irina werning /

m// 'BACK TO THE FUTURE' is a great photographic series by IRINA WERNING: 'I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today... A few months ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future...'

hairy balls/

l// These three little hairy balls are from elba and have recently been upgraded to my shelf of found beautiful things. I have it from a slightly dodgy source that they are balls that are formed in the blow holes of whales and that once they are shot out of the blow holes they wash up on the beach... amazing hey!! Funny that I think that these are soo stunning but show me a hairball and I would not be putting it on my third highest shelf... YUCK! If anyone knows anything about these balls, like perhaps if you know that they are actually whale droppings, please let me know asap so that I am saved from the humiliation of beautiful poo...

kevin cooley/

l// Kevin Cooley lives and works in Brooklyn as a photographer. Great work. Great blues. Click on the title to view his website, He is also a video artist and you can view his stuff there. Capital!

sally mann/

l// Sally Mann was named America's best photographer by Times magazine in 2001. Her photography stirred as much controversy as it did praise. "Mann recorded a combination of spontaneous and carefully arranged moments of childhood repose and revealingly — sometimes unnervingly — imaginative play. What the outraged critics of her child nudes failed to grant was the patent devotion involved throughout the project and the delighted complicity of her son and daughters in so many of the solemn or playful events. No other collection of family photographs is remotely like it, in both its naked candor and the fervor of its maternal curiosity and care" well said Times Mag... her work is truly first-rate...

music video shoot/

m// i helped out at a music video shoot on the weekend for my boyfriends band RED ROCKETS OF BORNEO. these stills are from the AMAZING canon 5D mark II camera, using the canon 50mm lense. The quality and crispness is amazing!
