Where do you collect your inspiration? Obviously inspiration is everywhere, from history books to movies - lol. I also get alot of inspiration just by hanging out with friends. We tip each other about brands, show what we are watching on eBay and share pictures that we like on Instagram.

When did your interest in fashion start? There was no one really fashionable nor interested in fashion around me when I was younger. My first introduction to fashion was actually through watching music videos on MTV. After watching for hours, I went to the mall and tried to recreate some of the looks I loved for as cheap as possible.

In what way does your mood affect the way you dress? If I'm in a bad mood, I might dress up to feel better. It may sound superficial but it helps to look good to feel good sometimes. If I'm not happy about my outfit or feel comfortable in it, I’ll get mad, lol.

City tips for travelers;

What to do in Oslo on a grey day? I love grey days, the light is very nice. Take a walk in some park, any park is good. Pet some dogs, any type of dog is good. Drink something hot, anywhere is good. Wear something cute, anything is cute. Look at art, all the art is art.
