Designers Remix Ready to Wear Autumn Winter 2012
Founded in 2002, Designers Remix is a Danish high-end designerwear for fashionable and modern young women.
The design is feminine, understated and sleek. I found a silk viscose mix dress, sort of denim look, in a fashion boutique in Hampstead, London back in 2007. Sadly the boutique has since closed down but the dress is still a firm summer favourite of mine.
So excited about seeing the new Spring Summer 2013 collection at Copenhagen Fashion Week.
Meanwhile for new arrivals online head over to Designer Remix

Living the Scandinavian design dream, Summerhouse Hvaler Norway
The house is beautifully situated on the top of a hill overlooking the ocean and the horizon. The design of the house allows a close interaction with the surrounding nature and the beautiful scenery, giving the feeling of being outdoor when inside.
The use of wooden materials that will gradually develop a grey patina allows the contemporary design house to interact and naturally blend in with the colours of the surrounding landscape.

Summer Skiing and Moods of Norway
Norway’s biggest summer ski centre at Stryn is situated near the famous Jostedalsbreen Glacier. Usually Spring means end of the skiing season, but there are high-altitude resorts in Norway where you can have fun on snow all summer long. Start skiing early in the day for a good few hours of skiing, before the sunshine softens the snow, and it’s time for a cold drink and some sunbathing in bikini! Cool skiwear from the Cocktail collection of Moods Of Norway is the perfect attire when heading up North for your potentially most exotic skitrip so far. Visit strynsommerski.com
