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.'

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.'
