Oooops... Friday already! The warm up for this weekend is yet another golden oldie, Shanks & Bigfoot with their hit from 1999, "Sweet like chocolate". This single had an enormous commercial breakthrough for the british garage scene which by then had rached their golden age with artists like Phats & Smalls, Artful Dodger  and Armand van Helden among others. This song is still the biggest record the UK garage scene ever has produced.

Gloverall is recognized as the original duffle coat. With their heritage they have created an iconic status as one of the most respected British brands. Originally manufactured in the Belgian city Duffel, this type of coat got it's name. The coat soon became a success among the Brithish navy because of the toggle fastening which could be unfastened with thick gloves. Now Gloverall have teamed up with Japaneese brand Gauntlets which brings a premium bespoke Duffle coat. The stand out detail in this piece is the cross chest contrasting tie-string. I'm expecting a Gloverall delivery today or tomorrow- but stuck to the original, colour navy!

In the period of 14th-21st of October Ukrainian Fashion Week was held in Kyiv (Kiev in English). Vagabond collaborated with the avantgardeist and popular Ukrainian designer Eduard Nasyrov. This season Ukraine was celebrating their 25th fashion week. (F.Y.I: Ukraine is the 2nd largest country in Europe by area after Russia and has 46 million inhabitants).

The final day of shooting our SS10 campaign in Paris... From above: 1. Our model for the season Oscar, is learning our stylist Sofie to skate. 2. The dreamteam including Art director Jonas and photographer Bersa among others.

"I love" is not only a love message. It is also one of Germans hottes magazine, which addict to modern love and its outgrowths. The magazine was launched and produced by ex students at AMD academy fashion and design in Berlin. In Ferropolis, the area of former surface mining, photographer Bernhard Musil showcased the students ideas of future fashion… Don't you think those one of a kind Vagabond's plays a key role?

Right now our team producing the Spring/ summer 10 campaign are around Palais Royal in Paris... The weather was good, but clouds have started to take over most of the sky. The whole team including our models Oscar and Frida are working hard to follow up on our successful "our playground is here" campaign for this fall. The final result will be shown later, but things are looking promising... and just so you know: This is the place where you will find the new campaign first!

Constant reports about the economical crisis does not seems to bother the architectures at Graft or the craziest city in the world, Dubai. Vertical village is a residential, hotel and entertainment centre that is planned to support itself with solar energy. Well, good, a step towards a more sustainable living is a great idea... But, building a complete fantasy city in one of the worlds hottest places without taking nature in focus from the beginning must have been a raelly stupid mistake! I'm afraid we just have to wait until mother nature strikes back, or until they run out of oil.  

What does Vagabond and 40 000 cows and farmers have in common? They are all in Paris right now... I guess that's about it! As we speak Vagabond is shooting their SS10 campaign in the city centre of Paris, and just next to them cows and thousands of angry farmers demanding more money from the Government. Life in contradiction! Right now our team is next to the Eiffel Tower, so if you´re around go by and say hi! More backstage images will follow later...
