Would Could



1. Hyllie Water Tower, Sweden
2. 1931 Water Tower, Zecc Architects, The Netherlands

Unfortunate in finding a moderate living space. Repeatedly confronted with identically renovated, mass-market compliant apartments. While only yearning for a pure, strictly functional space.

Alternate Demand



MTWTFSS Spring/Summer 2011

Desperately seeking Strawberry Blonde. The platinum days are over. Spring demands fruitiness. Including one's hair colour. If anyone knows how to achieve this hue of gold, professional advice is always welcome.

Subtle Hues




Elin Klevmar Graduate Collection

Today I feel like wearing all-white. Unfortunately I don't really have anything white. That's why I have to stay in bed all day and wrap myself in crispy sheets. But I probably won't.

Reality Bites



Whyred Spring/Summer 2011

I know it looks boring, but let's be honest: That's what I will buy, that's how I actually dress. Am I destroying an illusion now? I appreciate these clothes in an everyday context. The only thing I am asking myself: Do they have to appear on a runway?

Il Pleut




Madeleine Vintback Student Portfolio

Sculptural metamorphoses in tradition of masters like Hussein Chalayan and Alexander McQueen. Disturbing visions expressed via complex technology. The body dissolving as fluid surface. Covered by artificial structures.

Temporary Memorial





After paying tribute to Brigitte Nielsen and reviving the platinum blonde, my new haircut feels a bit like Dolph Lundgren. A style you can only achieve by confiding in a Frankfurt hair dresser who still lives in an abstract version of the 90s.

Parallel Reality




Klara Sjons Nilsson Graduate collection

Intepretations of a three- and two-dimensional world. A reality that is built upon principles that are chosen by its creator. Defining how the world is seen and reflected. An investigation of perception that reveals and succeeds.

Hellenistic Citation



Sculpture Carl Milles

A walk through Millesgården made me fall in love again. With one particular sculpture entitled 'The Hand of God'. One of the last works before Carl Milles' death. A very modern adaption of Grecian themes and archetypes.

Kindness




Disa Treutiger Designer's Nest 2010

It is impressive to watch a young talent evolving a signature design language. Disa Treutiger's pieces instantly stood out and caught my attention due to a subconscious feeling of familiarity. Soft mutations of structure and plasticity that enwind the female body.
