My favorite...



A "favorite" can be so much different to people; to me it's hair in fashion!
My favorite work, passion and -fabric-
Here's my way of approaching it...

So for my future...

... to be, it could be a lot of things. It strikes me, especially when on a holiday like easter is, it's kind of a travel-for-thought; it's the kind of a holiday which is quite enough to let you think, but open to a lot of possibilities; in no other way but positive, it turned into something I wouldn't expect it to be. 

I've told you guys earlier that there has been a lot of death in my family these last couple of years, and it leaves you to a certain state of mind where and/or how, to value what you've got and what you want for your life and future. A couple of days back, we went up north to help my grandma clean out her moms' ( my great grandma's) house; it put things in perspective -you know; going down that memory-lane, memories coming back up. A part of all of those things I experienced as a kid, led to who I am today, so I'm just really utterly thankful for that! Beauty and inspiration comes from a lot of places and happenings in your life...







Being a kid growing up to learn showing respect and credibility to the elder, I'm really inspired by lived life and life-long experiences, getting advice, and seeking for answers in your past. It all leads me to good old Mark Twain's old saying, which I think should be standing out there for all of us who's reaching for our goals;


As my grandma always has been saying; "I've always grabbed every chance I've been given -it's the best way to success! You may not be given the same chance again, or for a long time of period...".

Word out...

I've always been weak for...

colored styling and in someeverway type of bright hair. Especially when I come across editorials where  a male model is included; it's always fun to collect these! It's not too many of them, especially when everything in it fits, and speaks the same tone and language!

Then Easter came...

I don't know how it is for you guys, but to me, it seems that time is just freakin' flying away! After getting home from Bergen, I've been so busy both with meetings, clients and stuff @ the salon, -and-(!) events, so I haven't been able to post as much as I wanted to, but anyway; 
thanks to my favorite flying company Norwegian I'm able to blog from the sky as I'm on my way home to my sweet home town Bodø. I need some time with my family now after everything that's happened, but I won't fail you; I promise to post to you guys as I'm round and about. Here's some clean and calm, sleek and graphic eye-candy for you, it is Easter after all... ;)

It's really...

... about time! I love H&M's work around their "Conscious Collection", now also with an exclusive edition; "Conscious Exclusive". Everything is made with sustainable materials, ranging from organic cotton, recycled polyester, recycled polyamide, and of course TENCEL. Personally, I always try to be as green as possible, recyling, buying second-hand and vintage. I think it's important and our future depend on it. Fashion is all about being creative, and creativity will always be finding new and hopefully "greener" ways, just take a look at this; I'm just sayin'; WOW!! Who said "going green is the same as going boring"!? Love everything about it...

Windy monday...

...and in Bergen I am. Being lucky to work with my favorite fabric, I'm also able to travel away from home and still be able to bring my work with me. I'm in Bergen to follow my mom, who's having a severe operation on her back, so in between blood-samples and meetings with her surgeon, we strolled around in this beautiful yet windy, town. The spring is already here, and being the long-haired boy I am, I dropped my beenie and let my hair flow freely -I just loved it! I felt so free, and all my worries considering my mom's operation literally blew out of my mind. I wanted you guys to have the same feel, so here's something flowing and beautiful for you to lend your eyes on! :)

I hope for...

a bloomy spring! Love the fact that the sun is here already! A couple of months back in time it wasn't but now -tadah! Some weeks ago I did a shoot, and as usual I'm not able to post stuff to you guys until it's ready or it's launched so I wrote a short notice 'bout this in "A weeks' passed update... SWOOOSH!" -I haven't gotten to the part where to give a name for it... any suggestions?! ;) Feel free to send me one! ;) ENJOY!

Yay! :) I finally...

...got myself a proper camera! I bought it used from a good friend of mine -do you like it? Today's post is from my trip to Bergen last week, teaching a class in new styling techniques -it was awesome!

I'm not so fond of pictures of myself, but to all of you who requested me to have more of them; here you go! Tired, tuesday afternoon, the first test with my "new" Canon 400d.

A really grey morning it was...

Ofcourse; above the clouds the sky is always bright! I brought my laptop, so I could shuffle through everything that was going to happen during the class... I like to be prepared!
Love it...

Bergen with all it's great architecture...


The stay was to be on Hotel Norge -there were a lot of different kinds of shapes and patterns everywhere -maybe I get to use this in a color design or something... who knows;)





After a day of prepping, suddenly the room was ready, and last but not least; we were ready! 





We're on it...







We went through different kinds of techniques and we had them try them out...







Today's challenge was to have the guys combine the techniques and to use them in a creative way, which led to....

A lot of...

several cool... 





and funky...


results:)

Have fun! :)
