Not sure when was the last time I got up at noon. It is not that common these days. Me and Johan shared room – I told you this right? If not, I have a really good video of Johan if anyone would like to see it. He won’t allow me to post it, but if you ask me when you see me and promise not to tell Johan, I’ll show you. Codeword is ”I can see clearly now”. Another tradition we have is to eat lunch at Monsieur Vuong. Usually on the Friday, when everybody is a bit hung over. What is weird is that Johan is always the most hung over of us. And he doesn’t even drink.
We had a scheduled appointment with Norse Projects at the Capsule tradeshow at 14.00. Norse Projects is a bit new to us. I mean, Norse is not new to us – but Sneakersnstuff has not carried Norse Projects before. But we just got the spring delivery through the door – so you can now find all the good looking stuff from Norse Project at Sneakersnstuff. But we browsed through the Fall 2012 and that all looked very good. The mandatory Heather Orange Knitted Sweater was there of course. You cannot call yourself fashion if you don’t have that in your line for fall 2012. Heather Orange Knitted Sweaters is the new rolled up red knitted hat. Or it will be. Don’t try it now, it will be too soon and people will laugh at you. You can buy it now and start using it from July.
Not sure why I didn’t take any pics of the Norse collection. I think it might because they are Danish and that I don’t know them that well. I am not trying to offend any possible Danish reader – but let’s just say that the business ethics is a bit different between Sweden and Denmark… Just saying…
But after checking out Norse, we walked over to Wood Wood. And those guys I know and they have always been very friendly, ever since they got to do that Adidas collaboration before us back in the day. And to give credit when credit is due – their business ethics has been flawless so far. Laust was a bit bummed out since he had to pack down the men’s collection and ship it to Paris. So we re-scheduled our appointment and will hook up in Stockholm instead.
As for Capsule it is by far the best tradeshow in Berlin. Next time I am not sure if I will even go to Bread&Butter. And if Denim Demon play their cards right I will not even go to Seek. And I was very tired that Friday, so I’m guessing it was even better.
So – that concludes my reports from BBB Spring 2012. After Capsule we went back to our hotel for the traditional Pizza before heading to the airport. Ran into Michael Mohn and he had been at the hospital for a few days since a dog had eaten his nose. Did not sound funny at all. Hope you are feeling better Micke.
- Function over fashion – always. This shit came right of (wow that sounded very hiphop)
- Rise and shine JB. I’d like to think that if I was Ricky Gervais, JB would be Karl
- Sechs kleine! You should always order sechs kleine when available. It is priceless when the waitress say it.
- Ok, I know I have been talking about my photo skills a lot. But this is a very good picture of Charlie in a SNS hat.
- This is only hours after I danced but-cheek to but-cheek with this guy. I have not seen any pictures of that yet though.
- Labels. Very important. This picture of the Wood Wood label – not that important
- Shirts, bags, jackets, hats – you will be able to dress up in all Wood Wood this fall.
- Johan was super duper excited about Wood Wood.
- I almost didn’t see you there Laust – you were camouflaged
- I wanted to write something funny about this pic. Then I found this: http://tiny.cc/3a7er. It is in Swedish, but damn funny
- So, I spent the Saturday with my family. Took Charlie to Junibacken. Good times, but he hated the train.
- And this guy woke me up 5 in the morning. He does that. It’s kind of his thing. Love that guy
You know you’ve got older when you are hung over for two days.
