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....

Upper Karl Johans gate........................

I fell in love with this outfit and the unique assembly of colours and design. According to this young lady, this dress is a very old bunad (Norwegian National dress). Typically reserved for May 17th (Norwegian Independence Day) or weddings, this was used as fashion quoditienne. Topped off with the pale blue accessories, the muted colors were a playful yet melancholy statement of personal style. If you want to see more bunader, go to my May 17th posts where you will find an array of these beautiful had crafted garments.
