Runway - spring/summer 2010 (man)

Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair continues their journey towards Shoe Repair-ville... It is amazing to see a fashion label where the development is so obvious (and full of joy) but where the basic identity still so clear.

Carin Wester was one of the Swedish designer that decided to show during Copenhagen Fashion Week instead of in Stockholm. The women´s collection was more grown up (borderline boring) but the men´s collection still had that very typical Carin Wester funky profile.

Collection no 4 - searching the identity, don´t want to be predictable but still want to establish the label. The last collection from TLF was phenomenal and when that happens with no 3 this is what happens with no 4. I can´t say anything that I am still a big fan of TLF and think they are doing brilliantly. This is interesting to look at and I am already curious about collection no 5 and God knows this is not the case with all Swedish labels...

Iguess that Cheap Monday sales mainly consists of their regular jeans. That is probably an explanation to why I don´t get (don´t confuse get and like - I don´t have to like everything I see) the collections at all. Love their normal jeans range but definitely don´t get the collections.

Hope put on the most spectacular and well produced show during the week at Berns and for the men´s collection in combination with the darker tones of next spring/summer it was perfect. It is a tad confusing to watch a show where I like the men´s wear but not women´s wear. Hope should really think about ditching the women´s wear and go the part where they really rock - the men´s collection!
