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....

Kongens gate,...

Now that the weather has sprung to Spring, bikes are everywhere. And they are manned by all ages and all sizes. What moved me about this photo was her delicate lines and poise as she focused on traversing the street on her way to who knows where. Her clothes show the mark of the ever-functional Oslo fashion that allows them to be both nimble and warm and her colourful flats, striped top, and rough & ready, densely stitched leather jacket give her the flexibility and comfort she needs to cycle away. Finally, the ever present scarf frames another typical (or not so ;) Scandinavian profile.
