CURIOUSER NEW YORK

The latest cool creation from Acne, one of the Stockholm's natives I really like.  Acne often combines the European minimalism and simplicity - the Nordic style [think German Bauhaus , Russian Constructivism ) - with the vibrant colors that usually define the Italian high fashion style.

When I was in Stockholm, I've noticed a certain trend or, rather - a style - in the way Swedish men were dressing.  While in other cities, like Paris, London and New York, you can see men wearing flamboyant and/or patterned/bright clothes, in Stockholm that was not the case at all. 

I couldn't get enough of Stockholm many bikes and super stylish Swedish design offices, galleries and shops - done in a very 'IKEA'/Nordic style. I embarked on the trip to Sweden for many reasons - to see it and to shop in it...

I swear, I haven't planned it this way, but it happened, and it happened perfectly. I happened to be in the right place at the right time. On the day of my arrival to Stockholm, I've learned that it was the first day of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Stockholm . And on August 29th, in the center of the city - or in one of the 14th districts, named Kungsholmen - the central part of Stockholm with the largest shopping district - the fashionable action was happening. Right there, on one of the central plazas of the city, there were tents set up for the fashion shows, next to the ones for the after-show parties... While I didn't go to the runaway show - [the main purpose of my trip, after all, was to see the city, duhh...] - I did go to an after-party, which was by the invitation only...
