THE.CITY

Back in the city for another week of work! Must say that I LOVE this editorial in the May issue of Russian Tatler 2010. When I came across it I couldn't help but save it to my desktop. My favourite look is the last picture. Don't think I would be prepared to wear it out but in a hotel suite with a bottle of champagne a la Hana Soukupova in this shoot would be absolutely acceptable!

Today I have done a semi-raid at the sales that have started here in Stockholm, will show you the best bits in the next few days, I'm sure i'll be sporting them pretty soon!

LARA.&.FRIDA

Lara Stone & Frida Gustavsson by Peter Lindbergh for Vogue US July 2011

I must say, I really do enjoy browsing through editorials. Especially ones that can create a story and movement to the fashion. Especially fond of this one with Frida and Lara, separately they are formidable models, so put together and shot for US Vogue is a guaranteed success. The style of dress is personally not my favourite or what I would go for, but that's not important in this case! Just wanted to show you all some excellent photography and editorial.

HEY.YOU

Apologies for not posting this morning, i was in such a rush getting ready! Today has been another long and busy day at ACNE HQ! Spent most of the day picking pieces from the AW11 collection that were requested by fashion editors and stylists to use in up-coming shoots. It's a lot of fun to be able to pick what I think will work, though believe me, there is large amounts of paper work that goes with it. As there are only a few (sometimes only one) of each style in the showroom, we have to keep track of where everything is at all times. This means filling out receipts to send with the pieces (so the stylists know what they have received and can check against the list when they send all the pieces back) and also adding/removing stylists from the database. So- there's paper references and electronic tracking of the collection, ain't no shortcuts here there aren't!

MALE.MODELS

Arrived at work this morning at the usual time, though today i was faced with male models! Don't want to generalise here but....ALL male models are amazing. Today there were 3 swedish guys showing the ACNE SS12 Resort collection for buyers at the ACNE headquaters in Stockholm. Their changing area was in the showroom that i manage, safe to say i tried to spend as much time in there today as possible! The collection itself was very good, casual, tailored, and masculine. I was also working with head designer Jonny today as well in his office, sorting through magazines for inspiration boards for coming collections. Heavy and hot work!

I'm so hungry- going to make some Tacos for dinner, wihooo. Catch you later!

BLUE.

Before i leave for work i thought i would share my favourite snaps. I'm obsessed with blue at the moment. Light, royal, dark, all shades are really catching my eye!

Can't remember where the pics are from.

CASUAL.WEDNESDAY

When i woke up this morning it was grey and damp outside, still is! Decided on a pair of black skinny jeans, adding a pop of colour with this bright pink tee, and a khaki green knit as i think it's a bit cold out side. The necklace is one of my favourite pieces of jewellery, a series of chains arranged to form one big piece. I can't quite remember where it's from unfortunately. Oh and now it's raining! eurghh.

Third day at ACNE coming up. Post line-release mayhem to clear i believe.

Jeans- All Saints
Tee- ACNE
Knit- Filippa K
Bag- Alexander Wang

EYE.CANDY

I'm just about to nod off sitting here on my laptop! Thought i would just give you all a little style 360 before I tuck into my book! Which, by the way, is so good, i recommend it greatly- 'Cutting for Stone' by Abraham Verghese. Side track! So i think it's Christine Centenera in the white t-shirt and you can just glimpse the Celine trousers she's wearing.
The main thing i wanted to show is the turquoise dress (?) or is it a skirt and top? I love the slit back feature and the way it hugs the waist. I wonder how long it is, i can imagine it being above the knee. And to state the obvious- always so chic with a classic Hermes.

BACK ON TRACK TAKE TWO!

I have finished second year of university!! A recent stressful few months of hand-ins and exams, but now I have summer holidays! Or not really for me... I have started my internship at Swedish Design House ACNE! I'm already exhausted from two days of working. I'm assisting the head of marketing and press for the Stockholm headquaters (there are also press offices in London, Paris, and New York). It's going to be a lot of work, but exciting and giving a lot of insight at the same time.

Primarily- I work in the showroom, handling press requests, stylists who come to use bits of the collection and so on.. Today was really busy as it was the 'line release' for SS12 Resort Collection. The capsule collection that is released to shops before the core SS12 collection arrives. Like a taster of what is to come. So the showroom was full of buyers and journalists viewing the collection. It's quite a lengthy process, for those of you who don't know, each piece is shown and the inspiration behind it discussed. This helps the buyers and press get a 'feel' for the collection, and also to get the material details, wholesale prices etc. Hopefully there will be lots of orders for the collection!

So most of the summer will be spent at ACNE HQ! But in July I will be in Paris for 2 weeks. I'm moving there in september for the year (!!!) to do a student placement. I'm going to meet the people at the company I'm going to be working at, and search for an apartment! Fingers crossed it won't be too difficult.. I'm going to be working at a Fashion consultation and recruitment company for the year, their clients include design houses like Celine, Balenciaga, Hermes, etc so it's definitely right up my street!

Enough of all these future plans now- just thought I would update you all on what's coming up! Of course I will be documenting it all here on Style As I Might, so stay tuned for all the behind-the-scene action!
