I’ve already grown tired of dressing appropriately for the cold weather, although I’ve still been trotting round in a tweed blazer rather than a full-on winter coat, so taking a peak at Fam Irvoll’s SS10 collection has lifted my fashion spirits (which took a dent after seeing Heidi Montag wearing those sequinned Miu Miu socks early this morning).

Fam is a Norwegian designer who shows at Oslo Fashion Week and has just been taken on by Blow PR, so we’ll be seeing much more of her nutty knitwear over here.

After studying at the Ecole Supérieure des Arts et Techniques de la Mode, Fam came to Central St Martins for her BA (Hon) in Fashion Knitwear, graduating in 2008.

Fam’s colourful past collections have featured shrunked dolly dresses, sweaters with 3D ladybirds and ice lollies, ruffled prom dresses and a quirky mouse bustier top – all in eye-popping colours.  My personal diagnosis of Fam’s style would be part Sonia Rykiel crossed with Grayson Perry and My Little Pony – not a bad combo, I might add!

Celeb fans already include Mika and Lady Gaga, who apparently called up Fam and ordered a 3D cherry sweater and a cake headpiece.

But quickly on to Fam’s SS10 collection, I Love Gays, which is dominantly nautical with Hawaiian and 50s rockabilly influences.  It’s very sailor girl meets Dorothy with a bit of Dolly Parton thrown in for good measure.

For summer, Fam has traded in her magenta and purples for more primary colours like banana yellow, pillarbox red and cobalt blue.

The collection features embellished denim, flirty sailor dresses, tutti frutti prints, cherry print skirts, playtime tomboy shorts and a striped jumpsuit with a proud-looking 3D flamingo standing guard.

I absolutely adore the sparkling sailboat headpieces and there are plenty of other accessories to keep your wardrobe entertained, like blue and red bow bobby socks, ruby slippers and berry and floral headbands in the style of Brazilian samba queen Carmen Miranda.  It would really make my day if there was a Fred Butler or Tatty Devine collaboration on the cards – I reckon they could make some mad pieces together.

Fam runs her own club night, Neverland, in Oslo with her equally creative friends and like the name suggests, she gets inspiration from fairytales and east London/Oslo club kids. You can follow Fam’s crazy adventures and adorable outfits on her blog.

Prices start from £40 and you can find stockists by contacting Fam on her website.

After the exhibition at the Petit Palais, the Museum of Fine Arts in Paris, save the date of the Designer Frimousses dolls auction on 19 November at Drouot Montaigne, Paris’s prestigious auction house. Since 2003, fashion designers and artists have worked to create something beautiful to help children of Darfur, crafting dolls that become veritable works of art. The whole amount raised during the auction will support the vaccination programme in one of the regions most devastated by the deadly conflict there. Today, more than 4.7 million people are affected, of which 2.2 million are children. Thanks to the Designer Frimousse operation, under the aegis of Laeticia Hallyday, ambassador for UNICEF France, UNICEF carries out the fight for children vaccination every year in the region of Darfur. Vaccination, a method that is both very effective and inexpensive, would prevent these deadly diseases from a very young age (diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio) and would eradicate this scourge that affects thousands of children every day. The 2008 sale raised 219,130 Euros, used directly on the ground to finance emergency : in the Darfur region, 260,000 children and 195,000 pregnant women received vaccines. Don’t forget these dolls will be sold at auction on 19 November at Drouot Montaigne: 

 Public exhibition : 19 November 2009 from 12 p.m. till 6 p.m. 

Sale at Drouot Montaigne : 19 november 2009 @ 9.30 p.m

Mais cette semaine via Trendy Girl j’ai découvert la créatrice Dorothée Ossart.

Après une formation à l’école Esmod, Dorothée qui depuis son enfance aime bidouiller couper et inventer, a lancé une marque de prêt à porter ” Dorothée”

La créatrice aime le graphisme des années 70, le papier-peint des années 20… C’est en Picardie qu’elle a installé son entreprise. Pas loin des pâturages Made in Normandie.

Euh…Du coup j’ai une chanson de Stone et Charden en tête.

aikoli’s Tonje har starta her! og det liker vi! så nå blir det mer oppdatringer på tingene hun lager og mer om oss og hva vi lager her i aikoli! hurra!

god helg til alle!

Beklager igjen, jeg er notorisk treig på blogging. Later som det er på grunn av at jeg har så mye å gjøre, men er egentlig litt usikker på om jeg hadde skrevet noe særlig mer om jeg ikke hadde gjort noe… Men må prøve å bli flinkere, må jo oppdatere kjære lille Maja på hva som skjer i min hverdag som syerske!

Kjære lille Majamora, som er i England og lever livet før alt slitet som student starter. Bildet er fra i sommer, vi satt på cafe og drakk smoothie og milkshake og kosa oss, og Maja viser fram de nydelige Dolce & Cabbana solbrillene sine! Bildet er link til bloggen hennes, hvis du er interessert i å lese om hennes liv som intellektuell nybrite (:

Siden sist har jeg skrevet en oppgave om By Malene Birger og Moods of Norway, jeg har sydd to rette skjørt, et på maskin og et for hånd (sistnevnte fikk jeg hele B+ på xD), har levert inn en hel mappe med figuriner, driver og lærer meg å tegne flats, har hatt besøk av kjære Majamor osv. Vi kosa oss som bare det, og Maja kjøpte seg ny jakke på Moods of Norway! Skal poste bilde senere tror jeg, for har ikke rukket å legge de over på maskina enda! Mye som skjer, og enda mere skal det bli. Gud hva jeg gleder meg til høstferie og litt fri…

Bildet er et reklamebilde for By Malene Birgers høstkolleksjon. Me like (:  Det er sånt som jeg fascineres av, detaljer, strukturer og duse/mørke farger. Maja derimot ble helt forelska i Moods of Norway sine fargerike, humoristiske og sporty kolleksjon.

Q: Hva liker du best av By Malene Birger og Moods of Norway?

Students of the French Fashion University Esmod in Dubai are set to kick start the academic year 2009-10 on October 4, 2009 by taking part in a “green fashion” contest.

The competition, which is open to the Esmod International Network, will require students to create dresses using a special fabric called Han-ji that is known to last for more than hundred years, and will also be an opportunity for students from Esmod Dubai to work with global fashion houses. Meanwhile, Esmod Dubai also revealed that registration for its three-year fashion program, six-month and three-month workshops and make-up courses will be open until October 11th, 2009.

“We believe that this ‘green fashion’ contest will raise awareness about the need to cut the fashion industry’s environmental and carbon footprint and highlight the importance of using more sustainable fibers and fabrics. On the long run, sustainable fashion is better for the earth, for people and animals, as the key to this concept is to design clothes that have a long life, are easy to recycle and clean.As far as this contest is concerned, we have high expectations from students of Esmod Dubai and we wish them the best,” said Tamara Hostal, Founder & Director, FFUE-Dubai.

For the ‘green fashion’ contest, the participating students can take up to a month to create the design and stitch the dress using the special fabric made from a pure white fiber called Han-Ji that is obtained from a Korean tree called Dak –believed to have a lifespan of up to 1,000 years. Han-Ji, known for its exceptional quality and durability, was in fact used by Koreans in the past to cover their windows for protection against heat and cold.

The special qualities of Han-ji encouraged scientists to conduct extensive research on the fabric. The findings showed that Han-ji actually could protect the human skin from ailments by acting as an anti bacterial and antibiotic agent – prompting its use in socks and bed sheets – which makes it a hugely popular fabric in the global fashion industry.

After involving the first graduating batch of “made in UAE” fashion designers last June in a high profile fashion show at Wafi mall, Esmod Dubai’s current focus is on an ongoing student activity program that will open new horizons for the region’s fashion minds and nurture a greater number of fashionistas to particularly represent the Arab world worldwide.

Ny blogg, ny start?

Atter en gang starter jeg et nytt og bedre liv med en ny blogg, denne gangen tenkte jeg at bloggen min skulle handle om mitt liv på Esmod og i Oslo, mote og slitsomme bergensere. Passer egentlig bra at jeg begynner nå for til helga flytter jeg på egen hybel etter en fin og turbulent tid på Blindern. Det nye hovedkvarteret har adresse Bergsliensgate, rett ved Bogstadveien (Omg så digg..!), og der skal jeg (forhåpentligvis) bo og leve sammen med mine to små, mye rot og mye kreativitet.

Slenger med et bilde av min fantastiske nålepute, som kommer til å være min beste venn i tiden framover.

I have reached 10,000 viewers  now, this is according to wordpress though.  I don’t think I trust their stats, but I’m still very glad I started this blog. I really can’t wait until next week, mainly because I’m hoping there might be some interesting knitwear to drool over. I’m really running out of things to post now, it’s very uninspiring/disappointing. 

However, I have my last little gem to post about now until all the Fall 2010 collections come out.  I found this talented lady whilst browsing the Berlin fashion week collections last week. Her name is Julia Knüpfer or Julia Knuepfer as I have also seen around the internet. She won the “designer for tomorrow” award at Berlin Fashion week and has been studying at ESMOD School Berlin fashion school since 2005. The title of her collection was “Living rooms”, inspired by forms of habitats like nests, caves, combs and nets, scallops, snail-shells and corals.

The best thing about this collection is that its eco friendly which is always difficult to achieve. . She used ecologically grown material like bamboo and organic cotton. The fabrics were dyed using only oeko-tex certified colours and even the buttons were eco friendly made of stone-nutshell and wood. I once tried to do an ethical project at university which was truly rubbish and should never be seen again due to its hideousness.

Ok, so I love the collection, the fact that its all hand knitting, the shapes, the colours, the concept. But…I have a little moan…about the tights from the catwalk show…whoever told her to do them shame on you. Credit goes to Rodarte.  The outfit would have been perfectly fine without them.

2 days left! Then I’ll have to prepare for some other projects and
really need to get my ass off to work harder for the things I really
want to do. Really, I have never imagined those past 2 months to be
that stressful! BUT it was worth the hassle. Seems everybody at work
will be on vacation for 1 month, maybe even longer. So do I, but
lets continue the Berlin-vacation thing

Berlin was damn cold! A thing I just realized after arriving at Hamburg.
Eventhough I wore like about 3 layers of clothing, double socks and
gloves + scarf, I was freezing like hell. Especially after Valerie got home.

ALREADY 4 YEARS (!?!), since we met the last time in Düsseldorf.
Occasionally we tried to meet up, but that was kinda followed by bad luck
and awful planning-skills haha!

With her help I was able to find MTV’s location pretty easily, because her
school (ESMOD) is located near MTV. After I delivered the tapes, we met in
Zoologischer Garten and had a nice dinner at “Vapianos”. Some food, drinks
and a nice talk.

Afterwards we decided (well actually SHE) to take a look at H&M current
collection, where she got herself a nice black sweater for.. well males.
I think guys dig girls who wear male stuff. Well I do. HAHA.

Later on we grabbed some coffee at a local bar, which was pretty nice.
The barista was even able to create some sort of latte art on my cappucino.
Great stuff, since there arent alot baristas in Hamburg, who regularly
do “latte art”. WE NEED MORE LATTE ART BARISTAS! FOR GOODNESS SAKE!

At the end of the day, I got her back home and we had .. well, another cup
of coffee (instant one for me this time and oolong tea for valerie? not
sure though). Never been to her flat before, so it was a nice change of
enviroment . Though the kitchen is very… VERY small. I like it though.

We had a small talk and then I left for good this time. Thanks for
taking some time off for me I really appreciate it

La version française de ce texte est “Julie Bernardin, la petite amie parisienne de Batman”

- I love speed, I’m not politically correct ! I am quick and I only work in the rush.

Julie Bernardin is a radioactive frenetic jewels designer and extremely good with her hands. She studied at Esmod and Studio Berçot where: “Everything I did was terribly bad!”. And became a collection coordinator at Isabel Canovas and a specialist of the XVIII century items and furniture: “pretty cosmic!”… And a Spiderman’s buddy who’s created her trade “to make gifts” three years ago: 4 Me.

- A jewel is a way to express yourself. People easily adapt, one season and you throw them. I think I have fun, but I don’t really have talent.

I disagree: for months, years, two years! For two years I’ve looked for the shop of Super Julie, further to a never-ending brunch at Hotel Murano with The Human Torch. While we nonchalantly walked: I saw it! A kind of “Honey I shrunk Batman” miniature with strass and chains, like a jewel for bags with hype bling charm! I love it! The Human Torch wants to give it to me, I can’t make up my mind: Tiny-Bat is too big for my imaginativeness threshold. Ellipse, after a while and the absolute certain I want the Batman jewel, “the object of desire” says Super Julie.

Once again: after the Sunday brunch ritual in front of the Murano superstars fire place and endless white leather sofa, with this time a human friend, I look for the shop in rue de Turenne. Nothing! The shop disappeared. That’s it! With my jewel! Joker for sure! Two years later, Super Julie comes out again on Iqons. Now the shop has a black box frontage and my X-Men intuition won’t make any mistake again. So what? Even superheroes make a mistake! Seldom!

- I love charms, I put them everywhere! Thanks to Vanessa Zochetti (a elle.fr journalist), I also put them on chains. I really like working with chains. I buy small thingamajigs everywhere, lots in the States, in shops of cooking, cakes tins. Many stuffs from the 50-70’s.

My mega bionic eye examines the glam Barbie’s red superb curls dressed in vintage cowgirl, with a denim tiny short and colourful Mexican boots on a shelf. “Inspector Harry” flashes, in the Vegas 70’s. On another shelf, some Spanish”something”: Super Julie likes kitsch things she transforms into collectors. The 40-50’s jewels she antiques in the US and then “put back together again” to make her own jewels.

- I  love Rita Hayworth, Fred Astair, Capra… 50’s massive influence. I’m very conceptual. I like when it’s representative and something happens: telling a story, like in a Crazy Horse act. All samples have a name. Small dogs are in “My Best Friends”, cause they are here when we need them.

Among the first persons to have a look at her jewels, guess who ? Two great members of the Marverick private club: Gaspard Yurkievich (again and again, I know!)  and André who sells them in his Black Block shop at the Palais de Tokyo.

- I think there are people with an eye and others not. I grew up in the cult of what was beautiful and good, the Crazy Horse basis principles: it had to fix it! Detail is very important.

Yes, a detail, Super Julie is the grand daughter of Alain Bernardin, the Crazy Horse creator.

- Really hard to be yourself ! I am very shy: I listen too much, I need to be relieved. We are in the rat year, a very important year for me! I’m not zen at all!

A big laugh ! No problem, I am not either and I could ask for help Master Carradine for an intensive coaching! I shake off Joker, now we can leave our super powers:

- I love music, I’ve always gone to concerts. I am a mad keen of Fleetwood Mac, Prince, « Sympathy for the Devil » of the Stones… and seventies. I would like to work in music. Many DJs and rappers like my jewels.  I sell a lot to celebs: Rolling Stones, Guetta, Audrey Tautou, Olivier Assayag…

Her handmade jewels, four to ten samples by models, are sold in Paris at Bon Marché that “loves them”  (with an exclusive design, for this winter), Galeries Lafayettes (at the fashion designers corner, last summer) and in thirty shops, mostly concept stores (oups!) around the world: Great Bretain, Italy, Germany, Japan, Taïwan, New York and Chicago, by Jeff Mills, yeah the DJ…

The English version of this text is “Julie Bernardin, the Paris girlfriend for Batman”

- J’aime la vitesse, je ne suis pas politiquement correcte ! Je suis rapide et je ne bosse que dans l’urgence. 

Julie Bernardin est une « frénétique, gravissiment manuelle », radioactive créatrice de bijoux, passée par Esmod (un an) et Berçot où: « Tout ce que je faisais été à chier ! ». Coordinatrice de collection chez Isabel Canovas, spécialiste en reproduction d’objets de décoration du XVIII siècle : « assez cosmique ! »…  Et accessoirement potesse de Spiderman qui a eu « le déclic »  il y a trois ans « pour faire des cadeaux », sous  sa griffe 4 Me :

- Le bijoux est une façon de s’exprimer, ça peut-être très direct. Les gens s’adaptent très facilement, une saison et tu les jettes. Je pense que je m’amuse, mais que je n’ai absolument pas de talent.

Suis pas d’accord des mois des années, enfin deux ! Deux ans que je traque la boutique de Super Julie, suite à un interminable brunch au Murano avec La Torche. Tandis que nous vaquions nonchalamment rue de Turennes, l’œil vif : je tombai sur une miniature du genre « Chéri j’ai rétréci Batman en pendentif Barbie» prisonnier de chaînes et de strass, en bijou de sac breloque bling chic ! J’adore, j’adore, j’adore ! La Torche veut me l’offrir, j’hésite trop grand Batmini pour mon seuil de fantaisie. Ellipse, un temps plus tard et l’absolue certitude: je veux bijou Batman, « l’objet du désir » selon Super Julie.

La répétition: après le classique rituel du brunch dominical devant la cheminée star, moelleusement lovée dans l’over sized canapé cuir blanc sanctuaire du fameux lieu. Cette fois avec La Chose, je retourne la rue de Turenne sans dessus dessous : rien, la boutique avait dis-pa-ru ! Tout bonnement. Et mon bijou avec ! Joker sûrement ! Deux ans passent et Super Julie réapparait sur Iqons. Boutique, désormais parée d’une devanture écrin noir, où même fermée, mon flair d’X-men mis en déroute ne s’y trompera plus ! Ben oui même nous les super héros on s’trompe parfois ! Enfin rarement !

- J’adore les breloques, j’en mets partout ! Grâce à Vanessa Zochetti (rédactrice du Elle.fr), je les porte aussi sur chaîne. J’adore travailler avec des chaînes. J’achète des bouts de bidules partout, beaucoup aux States, dans les magasins d’ustensiles de cuisine, moules à gâteaux. Beaucoup de trucs des années 50-70.

Mon œil mega bionic ausculte les sublimes boucles rousses de glam Barbie cowgirl qui tient la pose vintage en mini short jeans et tiags rouges sur une étagère. Des flashs de « L’Inspecteur Harry » à Vegas, dans les 70’s. Il y a aussi ces espagnolades sur d’autres étagères, Super Julie aime les objets kitsch qu’elle transforme en collectors.

Les bijoux 40-50’s qu’elle chine aux States et « remonte » pour en faire ses bijoux:

 - J’adore Rita Hayworth, Fred Astair, Capra… grosse influence des années 50. Je suis très conceptuelle. J’aime que ce soit représentatif. Il faut toujours qu’il se passe quelque chose : raconter une histoire comme un numéro du Crazy Horse. Tous mes modèles ont un nom, c’est un impératif. Les petits chiens sont dans : « My Best friends » parce qu’ils sont là quand on en a besoin.

Parmi les premières personnes à avoir vu ses bijoux, devinez qui? Deux éminents membres de la congrégation des Maverick : Gaspard Yurkievich (encore lui, je sais je sais !) et André qui les a présenté dans son Black Block au Palais de Tokyo.

- Je pense qu’il y a des gens qui ont l’œil ou pas. J’ai été élevée dans le culte de ce qui était beau et bien, les principes de base du Crazy Horse : il fallait que ça roule ! Le détail est très important pour moi.

Oui petit détail, Super Julie est la petite fille d’Alain Bernardin, le créateur du Crazy Horse :

- Très difficile d’être toi ! Je suis très timide : j’écoute trop, j’ai besoin d’être rassurée. C’est l’année du rat, une année importante pour moi ! Je ne suis pas zen ! 

Dans un grand éclat de rire ! Qu’a cela ne tienne moi non plus, mayday Maître Carradine pour un coaching intensif ! Largué le mode super pouvoirs, j’ai semé Joker :

- J’adore la musique, je suis toujours allée aux concerts. Je suis une frénétique de Fleetwood Mac, Prince, « Sympathy for the Devil » des Stones… des seventies. J’aurai voulu bosser dans la musique. L’univers de mes bijoux plait beaucoup aux DJ (Michael Canitro) et rappeurs. Je vends beaucoup à des people: Rolling Stones, les Guetta, Audrey Tautou, Olivier Assayag…

Ses bijoux faits mains, quatre à dix exemplaires maximum, sont distribués au Bon Marché qui « adore » (un modèle en exclu cet hiver), aux Galeries Lafayettes (corner créateurs, l’été dernier) et dans une trentaine de boutiques, plutôt concept stores (oups!) de part ce vaste monde : Grande Bretagne, Italie, Allemagne, Japon, Taïwan, New York et même Chicago, par la boîte de Jeff Mills, oui le Dj… 

Hé Super Julie, si on se téléportait loin ailleurs ?

- Je suis toujours malade en voyage. Le matelas blanc en plastique aux Seychelles : faut pas déconner ! Rédibitoire. J’adore les Caraïbes, je me sens chez moi, les States, l’Italie et toujours pas le Japon.

Mon œil mega bionic a décrypté l’amour du grand Ouest home sweet home Arizona :

- Je suis née à L.A. Je suis une frénétique de tout ce qui est pur et dur, des indiens Navarro et de Tony Hillerman (auteur culte pour moi aussi). J’adore ce qui est aride. Le Grand Canyon, Las Vegas où l’on trouve les meilleurs antiquaires…les lampes du Ceasar Palace. Et près de Vegas, une réserve où je me ressource. J’ai adoré Kauai (Hawaii), à la fois le côté ricain et bout du monde : beaucoup de trucs vintage.

Et Paris, dernier trend du Maverick international ?

- Je suis l’archétype de la parisienne. Tout ce que j’aime n’existe plus. Paris n’est plus du tout une ville de nuit, il n’y a même plus de boulangerie de nuit ! J’ai des difficultés à voir que les choses bougent. J’aime les choses qui restent.

- Un dîner « Burger et Château Carbonieux » au Hilton Arc de Triomphe :

www.arcdetriompheparis.hilton.com

 - Fruits de mer au « désuet, drôle et totalement absurde » Océan Paris Bar : 5, Place Parmentier, 92200 Neuilly-Sur-Seine  -  Tel : 01 47 22 92 05  

- Une brasserie, Le Stella :133 avenue Victor Hugo, 75116 Paris  -  Tel : 01 56 90 56 00

- Des lieux, quartier : la place de l’Alma, le parc Monceau, le 17eme Arrondissement

Joker a refait surface et pas l’envie de retourner en mode supersonic. Et déjà la rencontre touche à sa fin :

- C’est un moment, un pola. Mon grand-père prenait beaucoup de polas. C’est un plaisir quand les gens aiment, c’est qu’ils sont comme moi… des gens qui ont envie de se démarquer. Il faut que ton œil soit heureux. Ce qui me fait le plus rire, c’est créer ! J’adore faire des pièces uniques, comme les coiffes de mariage.

J’acquiesce réajuste mon loup or, gainée dans mon attirail cuir noir de super héroïne, mes glitters baskets fraîchement lacée des bijoux chaînes strassées 4 Me, je cours vole vitesse krytonique sauver le monde, tout en style et propulsion ! Attention méchant s’abstenir! Let me introduce myself : suis la petite dernière, l’exotique efficace mélange des clans Batman, Spiderman et X-men, family business. A bientôt Super Top Julie !
