It’s only 4 days to go until we showcase the AW-12 Collection during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. We are STOKED to show you the collection we’ve worked so hard on.

The show will take place at Studio Kvarnholmen, an former industrial site and cake warehouse in the south of Stockholm.

Compared with previous years, we are using a smaller venue but to still let everybody join us we will broadcast the show live. Make sure to catch the show on our website and via a few selected sites, such as Style.com, Interview Magazine and Vouge Italia.
 
The live broadcast will begin on January 31^st, at 4:30 pm, CET on www.cheapmonday.com

This past week the office has been really quite. A big bunch of the Cheap Headquaters is in Berlin for the Bread & Butter Fair at the Tempelhof Airport. Cheap Monday is in the golden cage of course!

Berlin: Golden cage @ Bread & Butter.

Frida enjoying her German coffee

Calle with shoes

Twas the night before New Year’s and all through the company

A few workers were stirring, secretly thinking about bubbly

The incoming SS13 samples were hung by Hanna with care

Since only three from the production gang were there

The designers were present, but only a mere few

Like Karin who was busy researching what’s new

PR was deserted as on vacation were all three

Cries of jealousy from us here who would also like to be free!

But instead we have Kalle doing the Fashion Show graphics

And Carl making sure our Jeans reach their target demographics

Lovely Mika ensures our Shoes & Accessories arrive on time

While Andy spends the morning making this silly rhyme ;)

Can’t forget Marinette busy with all things Underwear

And Valle fixing our Lookbooks from his desk chair

Finally there is Ia working despite her darn cold

Overseeing production, making sure it is under control

All others are on vacation ’til Monday you see

We hope they are spending their days oh so happily

But tomorrow everyone here there and everywhere will celebrate

Ring in the New Year with friends and stay up late

So from the nine of us here we wish with all our might

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!!!!!

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The Cheap Art Party in Copenhagen was a blast! Sofie and Erik worked their PR magic and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Our underwear collection has now been officially launched and celebrated and it is out there in stores for everyone to enjoy. A big shout out to Frederick Heyman for the amazing installation that was made from our Underwear!

Take a look at some pics from the party:

Christmas is in the air. Which for us means we are busy releasing our Autumn/Winter 2012 collection to our sales agents. Last week all our agents flew in from many different countries to see the new collection. We are super happy with it and you will all see the fruits of our labor soon enough at our fashion show at the end of January.

Yesterday we took a little break from the madness to celebrate Lucia (a Swedish tradition where we celebrate Saint Lucia coming with candles to bring light during the darkest part of the year). So we ate Lussekatter (Swedish Christmas saffran buns) and enjoyed some Cheap Monday customized ginger snaps (pepparkaka) baked by our super sweet intern Mari.

Cute huh?!

Before all party-mayhem breaks loose tomorrow night in Copenhagen thought we could take a quick look at what our Cheap Monday staff got up to during the Cheap Art Party in Stockholm not so long ago!

We were there with bells on (technically glow-sticks)! We pre-partied at the office with a couple of drinks, food and what has become one of our favorite (Friday) past times a music quiz!

A quick trip and drink on the party bus and then we partied to our hearts’ content.

Our very own Carl, Buyer for all that is Denim, played the tracks that got the party started!

Things got a little silly for Karin and Gabbie in the red smoke room!

Our queen of all that is underwear, Marinette celebrated in glowing style! And was ready with Cheap cash in hand to spend at the bar!

Cutie pies Lisa, Hanna and Andy getting their fluorescent drink on!

And now at this very moment our PR wizards Sofie and Erik are in Copenhagen whipping up the Cheap Art Party 2.0! The party is tomorrow and it should be just as legendary as the first! Pictures from that party are coming soon!

For the best combination of fashion and bargains come to Stockholm’s main event of the weekend – the Loppis á la Mode!

A gang of fashion designers, stylists and buyers have teamed up to take over Skrapans Basar Under this Sunday only! They have scavenged in their overly full closets to sell out everything they can bear to part with at crazy cheap prices! So if you happen to be anywhere in the Stockholm area take a detour to Södermalm to make some fashion bargains! The shopping begins 11AM!

Hope to see you there!

We had SOOOOOOO much fun at the Cheap Art Party! Everyone was literally glowing with glow sticks hanging strategically from different places on their outfits and glow cups filled to the brim with fun cocktails in their hands! Plus all the laser-ness that was going on in conjunction with the installation by Frederik Heyman.

The location was so much fun, the abandoned laboratory… And people loved the very mystical red smoke room. The DJs got the guests dancing and Cheap Monday dollars were flowing freely at the bar.

Thanks to all who partied with us in celebration of our fabulous Underwear collection! And for those of you who missed it check out the rest of the pics on our website!

Next stop Copenhagen for Party number 2!

There are only a few hours left until we get the Cheap Art Party started! We have transformed the abandonded laboratory to be party ready. Feel free to enter the red room… See ya there!
