Zitat des Tages von Aslaug Magnusdottir:
I enjoy walking through Nolita and Chinatown, watching the people and the buildings, browsing through shops and stopping at little cafes for a cup of coffee or glass of wine.
We use digitisation and 3D-render programs such as Optitex and ClO3D to create the silhouettes, but we invented our system to let users mix and match components in real time.
Overall, I was extremely impressed with the fashion scene that Stockholm has to offer, both on and off the runways.
Driven to design by what she refers to as the lack of glamour in the industry, Bar Or creates for the modern woman who is a fashion risk-taker, one who is confident and, perhaps, has a larger than life personality.
I worked as President of House of Waris for a year and a half, and Waris is one of my favorite people. He is not only a talented designer but also a warm and genuine person and a pleasure to work with.
While my calendar with Moda Operandi often takes me to fashionable locales like Milan and Paris, I am thrilled when opportunities to visit new places present themselves.
I choose my outfits based on the shows on a particular day. If there's an edgier designer, it might be a slightly edgier outfit. I don't think it matters, but still that's how I think about it.
As in many other industries, the luxury fashion consumer increasingly desires to put a personal stamp on important purchases.
When I was working at Gilt, a lot of people at the time - this is back in 2009; Gilt launched in 2007 - were making their first fashion purchases online and at a discount.
I like feminine suits with unexpected details.
A lot of people made their first luxury fashion purchase, but at a discount. And that made it an easier purchasing decision.
We want every woman to have something unique, a wardrobe she can really make her own.
Moda Operandi will change the face of luxury e-commerce by directly connecting brands with the most discerning shoppers around the world.
Designers were saying to me that they didn't have a place to sell their special pieces from the runway.
I so often heard from women that they saw this beautiful fashion, but it didn't always work for them - whether it was cultural reasons, lifestyle reasons, body type reasons. So it seemed like in my mind there was a gap there, that women really wanted to be able to customize items to fit their needs and their tastes.
Having grown up in Iceland and Los Angeles, gone to school in Europe and America, and lived and worked in London and New York, my insatiable appetite for travel has informed many of my life decisions.
It is always a pleasure to see what NYC, London, Paris and Milan have to offer.
Daft Punk's 'One More Time' remains one of my favorite 'getting ready to go out tonight' songs.
