Happy Veterans Day! Please take some time out to thank those who dedicate their lives to our freedom… It’s so easy to take things for granted, even in the world of fashion… I mean… did you read about Karachi fashion week? I’m obviously not trying to be disrespectful by reducing everything down to fashion, but you’re here for the clothes and I think it’s important to realize that the sacrifices our troops have made and continue to make affects every single aspect of our lives. While you’re sitting comfy in your office or at home reading this, there are millions of people who have fought, died and dedicated their lives to the moment you have right now, and thousands more who are overseas working day in and day out to protect it… There are tons of sites out there accepting donations for care packages and if you haven’t donated before, today would be a great day to start!
If you haven’t picked up little glimpses of it here and there I have some pretty strong opinions about things, instead of going on and on I’ll move on to today’s designer Carin Rodebjer.
Carin Rodebjer started out in 1999 while studying at F.I.T. (Fashion Institute of Technology) in New York. After being spotted on the street wearing her handmade designs, she started selling at some high profile stores in New York. Returning to her native country of Sweden in 2001, Rodebjer continued her dedication of creating a line of clothing that reflected her ideas of combining contemporary and at the same time classic design with wearability.
The kind of people I admire have a timeless quality, and that’s also how I want my collections to feel,” Carin explains.
Rodebjer has gained a reputation in Sweden as well as internationally for its strong signature look - firmly contemporary fashion with sharp silhouettes and timeless design. Carin Rodebjer was awarded ”Designer of the Year” by Swedish Elle Magazine in 2002 and 2005. In 2005 Rodebjer was also awarded the “Fresh Faces of Fashion” award by Gen Art and “Guldknappen” by Damernas Värld.
