Fun in London

Fall is officially here, at least in Stockholm! The design team is busy conceptualizing the SS13 collection, the production team busy producing AW12, the PR team busy promoting AW11 and SS12, and some of us are travelling to near and faraway places in search of more inspiration, information, and manufacturers. We are off to Hong Kong, Paris, London, Korea, and Berlin…

During all the travel and work we still find time to be a little silly. While at the launch of the Cheap Monday Store at Selfridges in London, Menswear designer Peter and PR manager Sara had a little fun in their spare time:

What else would you do with a giant roll of plastic wrap?! If you look closely you see Sara has on our Angle low boots! Have you guys seen our first shoe collection?!

London party

The Selfridges party is still on and the band has just hit the stage, but here are a preview pics. Expect a full report soon. Check back…

Preview from tonight

Tonight is the big launch party in London for our new Selfridges store. Here is a preview of how the venue will look, even though it’s far from ready in these pics. I can also report that the lighting will of course be much darker, cooler and more mysterious…

Bingo!

When shopping speakers for our press-breakfast at Selfridges in London tomorrow we came across this store. First you pay at one counter and then you sit and sort of play bingo until your items are called out.

We had 974, so finally Bingo!
