Oslo - Historic, picturesque and somewhat isolated, has never been seen as a fashion mecca. Yet, some of the trendiest styles and mixes can be regularly spotted on its streets.


Influenced by the influx of immigrants during the 1990's, Oslo fashion has become tip of the spear. Scarfs, pullovers, boots and leggings make the Winters a fashion wonder. And with the Fall months now upon us (again), the layers, muted colors, subtle patterns and funky footwear are beginning to emerge after the typical short but sweet Norwegian summer. So take a look at Oslo and enjoy the creative fashions that fill its streets....

Oslo on a Beautiful Day....

Like I said yesterday, I had some shots to share with you regarding the '10K Sentrumsløpe' that is run by both pros and recreational runners every year. Take a look at the number of people patiently waiting in line to get their chance to sweat it out for 10 kliks... This is part of the cuture. Patience and courtesy are core values in this country. I can't help but think how this many bodies in this close proximity would play out in the U.S.    Yeah,.. that's what I thought too ;( 

I know this has nothing to do with fashion, but it is inspirational nonetheless. Humanity upon itself making patterns upon patterns, and ultimatley creating its own unique look, much like the clothes that find their way  draped around these Norwegians. Well, at least when they are not in line for a 10K run.

I think you may be looking through a bit of a jaundiced eye, me boyo. Certainly I would agree were it New York, LA...but oddly enough, I was at LAX just last night, and marveled how hardly anyone was honking their horns in the crazy (and dangerous) airport traffic.)...but I still see your point.
