RAFF design 2010

Bergen design weeks was launched today featuring some of the fabulous creative talent that has its background from the west. Raff design includes all types of design, but focuses on the person behind it, the person who makes the design. London based designer Christian Aadnevik shipped over a few of his creations to represent him during the event, and I was so lucky to make his window.... For Christian´s window I wanted to mix the rough with the glamourous. I´ve collaged two mannequins as I wanted to use dolls for his dresses, but not in the traditional sence. The collaged dolls are raw and different and makes the dresses stand out as tributes to design and haute couture.

So Christian Aadnevik @ RAFF 2010 exhibited in NOVA.

Welcome to a week-long design and fashion event in Bergen, Norway, August 30^th to September 5^th! Bergen`s own design and fashion week, Raff Design 2010, is proud to present both established designers and new talent in the Bergen area. We`re happy to invite both design and fashion professionals, as well as the general public, to a week of exhibitions and events all over the city. The exhibitions will show quality work from a diverse design community, and there will be workshops and seminars as well as parties for the fashion and design-savvy. Our goal is to raise awareness of the impact that design has in the Bergen area, to be a meeting place for both established and aspiring designers as well as an inspiration for young people wanting a career in design. Raff Design 2010 will help put Norwegian designers on the map.

Spring/summer inspiration

Some inspirational illustrations for the spring/summer collections in 2010. Some of the garments include Alexander McQueen, Julien Macdonald, Oscar de La Renta and one of my favourite newcomers; ms Holly Fulton.

Kari Traa & Bula.

I have just been a week to Voss styling the brilliant shops of Kari Traa and Bula.

I have been working with both concepts for a while now, which is fantastic as they leave me in total charge of how both shop´s display their spring/summer collections of 2010.

The result is unfortunately photographed with my iphone, so it is not perfect, but you get the idea.

Sva in motion @ Steen & Strøm

Sva magazine was asked by Steen & Strøm to do their window exhibition in February. Steen and Strøm is probably the most prominent fashion-warehouse in Norway and is located in the senter of Oslo.

Sva magazine wanted to launch their new concept in the windows; SVA in motion. The concept features scandinavian fashion films from a variety of very talented photographers and filmmakers focusing on fashion in motion.

Sva asked me to help them set up the exhibiton and to do some fashion in motion related illustrations to go in the windows. Together with beautiful photos by Svein Bringsdal they now decorate the windows together with dolls and 12 flatscreen tv´s.
