Another great day in Stockholm as the guest of ODD magazine +46

Dear Shaded Viewers,

The sun shined all day today. Nicolas came to pick Sonny and I up and take us to knitwear designer Sandra Backlund’s new atelier/shop.

Sandra Backlund models her red knitted dress. She makes one of a kind pieces that she creates as collages working on small parts and building the design as she goes. Before deciding to become a designer she had thought that she might want to become a hairdresser. Her work has already found it’s way onto the pages of Italian Vogue and ID. She plans to show her work in Paris during the collections. I also heard the rumour that her entire collection was out for a Madonna video. I would not be surprised if a filmmaker like Almadovar or Ridley Scott one day sees her value and picks her up to design the costumes for one of their films.

Naomi Itkes-Sznap and her magazine Littces and filmmaker, Werner Hed. Then we decided to visit Jelena Rundqvist’s Tensta Konsthall. While waiting for a taxi we ran into Olof Erlandsson, who we had met yesterday and model/singer Anya. Don’t you think she would be perfect for Ann Demeulemeester? She will be singing at Paris Paris on the 6 October and has just signed a contract with Universal.
