Lisa Bonet & daughter Zoe Kravitz

When I was a kid i used to watch the Cosby show & I remember loving Lisa Bonets style & wishing that my name was Denise. I especially loved her hair. The long long dreadlocks especially. That fascination never went away & at times I have been dying to get dreadlocks. I also love her boho style & her way of wearing hats. I found some pictures of the still gorgeous Lisa Bonet-some of them are old though.

As you all know she shares a daughter with Lenny Kravitz. She has inherited her parents great style & looks. I am looking forward to seeing what she will do in the future.

Michele Lamy

Michele Lamy is one of the most interesting looking women I can think off. I love her look. The darkness, her wardrobe which is full of Rick Owens items ( oh my God- think of all her leather jackets!!!) her gold teeth, her tattoos, her hands & arms!!!! The way she uses accessories on her arms & hands is a huge inspiration.

Love it

Notice the ink stains on her fingers-I find it brilliant.

Her tattoos on her fingers are beautiful. So many people are having tattoos on their fingers these days & a lot of them end up looking like a bikers girlfriend.

Who knew that goldteeth could look this good.

Love her individuality & her sense of style. Michele Lamy with her husband Rick Owens.

New in

I bet your thinking what is it?! It´s my new cutting board by Joseph Joseph. I got it at Urban Outfitters. It´s made of toughened glass so it wont get scratches, which makes it more hygienic (you know food gets stuck in the scratches & is not easy to clean).

If you know my taste by know you know that I like to add a little fun to my home-just little glimpses.

Danish artist: Huskmitnavn ( translates to Remembermyname)

The Danish artist Husk mit navn started out as a graffiti artist & then he started making little funny posters that he put up around the city. Often with sarcastic remarks. One of his firsts very popular posters was the “winter penis”.

Still makes me smile.

“Take everything for granted”

“For the value”

“Say no to war” “Yes”

“The starving children in Africa are thinking about you as well!

Hahahaha

This says:” Patience, you will catch something big.” LOL

Love his stuff-it´s so unique.

Sephora-now in Copenhagen

The beautychain Sephora opened recently here in Copenhagen. It´s really refreshing with all the new brands, they don´t sell Nars though, but I am not complaining ; )

Yesterday there was an event going on with models being bodypainted-tourists were glued to the window, watching the beautifully painted topless ladies. The makeup artists were doing party makeup on every volunteer. It was a lot of fun.

I took a couple of pictures for you to see

Gorgeous girl with great style.

Love her makeup.

Alienesque beauty

Makeup forever was behind the bodypaint.

& some great news: Sephora just confirmed that they will be opening more stores in Denmark this year.

More pretty stuff in Copenhagen

A couple of days ago I met up with a friend I studied with at the university. We met at my local library, which is also the central library in Copenhagen. It has just recently been renovated & is now more cool than ever. Have a look inside:

There are several floors & a lot of nice places to hang out while reading, studying or playing with your kids. There are even instruments you can play without bothering other guests.

Loving the ceiling.

Nice furniture

Eames chairs & chunky black hard wood tables.

Outside you can park your bike & here a cool girl is also waiting.

Across the street is a synagoge. The conservative jews use this one. It has also just been renovated. It´s very beautiful inside.

As you can see the synagoge is a few meters behind the neighboring building. This is because buildings that represent religious minorities are not allowed to be as visible as the protestant churches. But as you can see the synagoge is far from invisible even though it´s 5 meters behind the other buildings.

The same street has a lot of cool shops. This is the entrance of Henrik Vibskovs shop & you can also find great shops like “Another Nué”, Carhartt & the cool vintage store “Times up”.

So as you can see this is a street worth visiting if you are in Copenhagen. The library is the place to have a nice break. Here you can sit down & rest your feet, use the restroom, read a international magazines & newspapers without paying. & the surroundings are beautiful-& there is a café is you need a bite or a cup of tea.

I find this quite hilarious

My weekend

My oldest daughter gave me this as a mothers day gift. She is my little artist.

Did you have a nice weekend? I had such a great time.I was at my moms all weekend. Yesterday she invited my in laws & we had such a great time. My mother is the best cook. She is really good at the in Indian/Pakistani kitchen, which she grew up with & the Danish kitchen, because she used to cook for the elderly for many years. & my lovely cousin made a delicious raspberry cheesecake.

 

Anyway yesterday my mother, sister & I were up until late at night, because we had some planning to do. My sister is getting married!!!! & she has her wedding coming up in about two months! It´s crazy to me that my little sis is getting married, but I am so happy that she found this great guy. But it is also a really big deal to me, because she is moving to Canada where her soon to be husband lives. I am going to miss her so much. I realized that yesterday when we were planning-before I was just thinking that it is awesome that I get to go to Canada a lot from now on-haha.

It is going to be a traditional Pakistani wedding, because he is also hazara from Pakistan (so is my mother). There is going to be so many amazing outfits & I can´t wait. My family are really on point when it comes to contemporary Pakistani fashion. My outfit is being made in Karachi, Pakistan where one of my cousin lives & I  can´t wait to show you guys. My sister gave me the permission to take pictures for the blog so you can have a peak & see what is going on at a quite different kind of wedding.

Btw Saw this “add” today in a Pakistani magazine & liked it.

While these ladies all are gorgeous & stylish women I really missed pictures of the nominees. The stylists & designers are especially very interesting to me. I know some of the nominees & knowing what they wear on a daily basis makes me curious towards what they will wear on a night like this where the dresscode was galla.

 

 

 

 

Dansk Fashion Award: the winners are….

A while ago I wrote 4 posts about the Danish Fashion Award show-you can see them here, here, here & here. I wrote about which nominees I voted for & showed you what my  opinions are based on. & last night the winners were revealed.

Best Accessory designer:

I voted Line & Jo

The winner: Line & Jo

They are hands down the best accessory designers in Denmark right now. They make jewelry to suit everyone. It can be romantic with a bow, but with a twist that makes it a little raw. There is always an edge.

Danish Brand of the year:

I voted Day Birger et Mikkelsen

The winner: Designers Remix

Designer Charlotte Eskildsen has created a strong brand so she truly deserves this award. Her clothes suit women in all sizes & it pretty cool : )

Designer Charlotte Eskildsen

Singer Medina in Designers Remix.

Danish Designer of the year:

 I voted Stine Goya

The winner: Silas Adler

Silas Adler really earned this award. He is really gifted & makes beautiful clothes. I remember him from when he was really young coming into the skateshop I worked in. He was always really quiet & polite & later he worked for some guys I know that distribute Carhartt in Denmark. In 2002 he started Soulland & was at the time only 17! I find it quite admirable!

Designer Silas Adler

Best new Danish designer:

Anne Sofie Madsen

The winner: Anne Sofie Madsen

I am not surprised. Anne Sofie Madsen´s work is genius! I think she really has what it takes to become the most powerful Danish designer.

Designer Anne Sofie Madsen

Amazing stuff don´t you think?!

Hairstylist of the year

I voted Marianne Jensen

The winner: Mette Thorsgaard

Hairstylist Mette Thorpesgaard

Best Danish Highstreet brand

I voted Second Female

The winner: Selected

I don´t think I have any stuff from Selected in my wardrobe. Not that it´s bad, but I rather shop other highstreetbrands.

Makeup artist of the year

Rikke Dengsø

The winner: Anne Staunsager

Anne Staunsager is baws ; ) She also won the category last year. I think this is her third actually!

Makeup artist Anne Staunsager

Wow-she´s good!

Fashionevent of the Year:

I voted A Decade of Danish Fashion, an exhibition celebrating 10 years with DANSK magazine. A collaboration with Danish Design Museum.

The winner: Fashionstamps by the Danish Postoffices

This was such a cool event. Danish Postoffices printed two stamps to promote Danish Fashion. One was made by Silas Adler for Soulland ( also designer of the year) & Malene Birger ( nominee for best brand-I actually thought she would win her category. Her brand is also very strong & has been on everybodys lips the past year ).

Danish fashion photographer of the year

I voted Jens Langkjær

The winner: Rasmus Skousen

Rasmus Skousen is a great photographer & he is also the creative director of my favorite Danish magazine called Cover.

Above is Rasmus Skousen in Kansas workwear by Danish designer Mads Nørgaard.

Rasmus Skousen shooting gorgeous & very talented Emma Leth.

Danish stylist of the year

I voted Rikke Wackerhausen

The winner:  Simon Rasmussen

Simon Rasmussen is quite avantgarde & hilarious. To some it might look like a Salvation army clothingcontainer threw up on the models, but i really like the noisy looks. For pictures at least.

See what I mean?!!

Etchical project of the year 

I voted A Question of

 The winner: Aiayu

Aiayu is a quality, climate & social conscious brand. I looks really pretty & comfy.

 

Campaign of the year:

I voted Versace for H&M

The winner: Ole Lynggaard ss12 campaign

Ole Lynggard is an exclusive jewelry company has Helena Christensen in his campaign & she never fails. She could sell sand in Sahara. The campaign is beautiful.

New Danish model of the year

Women:

I voted Josephine Skriver

The winner: Josephine Skriver

Beautiful Josephine Skriver is this gorgeous model that transforms easily. But you can tell that she is very young & I think that it´s kind of sad that girls are selling womens clothes.

New Danish Male Model of the year:

I voted Henrik F

The winner: Henrik F

I voted Henrik F because he looks like a man & not a boy. He sometimes has a lot of facial hair that adds to his rough look.

Best Danish retail space:

I voted Wood Wood´s store in Copenhagen

The winner: Acne, Pilestræde, Copenhagen.

That shop is awesome. It´s like an art gallery. The day before they opened I took these shots.

Fashion truly had a great year in Denmark.
