it's important to get hair products with SPF these days
your hair gets messy tangled up all the time
and breaks with no firm hold at all
I use SPF conditioners everyday so my hair is full of vitamins it needs
this is a great product if you like to get the style and healthy look all the way!

interview with Anna-Karin Karlsson

If you remember from this recent post
you saw beautiful collection photos of AKK
here are three more I saved until I was ready to show you
mini interview w/ Anna-Karin Karlsson :)
her sunglasses are as you can tell very unique & uncommon
if you like to look different from all-dressed-the-same crowds,
these are one of the great options you can take
enjoy reading!

1. My readers already know that I have a huge affection for sunglasses.
Your sunglasses are so stunning and I love how each and every look portrays different style.
Where do you mostly get inspirations from in terms of design?
Do you sometimes get inspired by the songs you listen to?

Firstly, Thank You! I get inspirations from creating stories and events in my head. I visualize all frames before I draw them.

As I write music, I do get inspired by music my own and others. Words as well as notes.


2. I see lots of leopard in your collection. Is that one of your favorite pattern and color to use? Any other favorite colors/patterns?

During all my years as an eyewear stylist/buyer I never found great leopard pattern eyewear and I always said to myself...one day...and voila.

I use a unique patented HD plastic that I have searched for after seeing it on a photograph a few years ago. I searched high and low and now I have created my dream, I am well stubborn :-).

I like alot of colours and patterns but will only know if it's right for me when I have it in my hand. I tend to stay away from brown since it's too easy. I have no one to answer too as most brands do and will only create what I think is brilliant.

coco goes to cannes


3. What are three essential items every girl should have in her closet?

I'm an accessory kind of girl so I would say decent sunglasses, shoes and bag but recon a pair of knickers and a dress could be handy too. Lol.


4. Do you have any countries/cities you would like to visit?

I used to fly every week for a year, that did put me off flying for a while but now I would love to travel through most of the world.

Hong Kong and NewYork will be next I recon.


when trouble came to town


5. Do you work on collaboration with other models, celebrities and or brands? Do you have any muses you would like to work with in a nearby project?

I have been asked to work with some major brands/fashion houses but we'll see what happens.
I'm very sure what I want to create and wouldn't do it for anything else but to create magic. What is great for my CV isn't always great for my mind.
Skye Edwards and Grace Jones wears my creations and soon some other celebrities but lets wait until we see them in the press before I speak.


6. How does your day start typically? I start with strong cup of coffee and to check my scheduler to see on and offline duties for instance.

I get up early to get my 5 year old son ready and then do the school run. When the weather allows I try to take an hour long walk to prepare for the day and get me focused. I think the best while walking. English Breakfast tea is my thing after spending most of my adult life in London. AM is usally spent writing and replying emails.


7. What do you think about fashion blogs gaining more attention each and every day? Some say they are part of the fashion industry,
while some argue back that they are just part of new online/social groups.

I've been very stuck in my life and have not paid a lot of attention to blogs until starting my business last year.

What I do enjoy is the openess and welcoming I've received from the bloggers and the fashion industry. I'm opened for change and if someone is happy doing what they want it's great.





special thanks and
