Karl Johan Gt.......

The rain came back.. and with it came the Wellies and Hunters.... they are everywhere. I was coming back from the Viking Museum with my wife and son and there happened to be a French woman sitting on the bus across from us. My wife, dressed in her Hunters by Jimmy Choo caught her eye. She asked where to get them, because she was so impressed with how the Nordics use them for fashion quoditienne. Again, the typical expression of Nordic form, function and fashion......

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.

Youngstorget........

Colours are coordinated and the long flowing seamed skirt creates a voluminous breath with each purposeful stride. The low clog-like shoes are a perfect personal accent with unique detail and design.
