Ambassador garden party

Second day in Vienna is dedicated to vintage shopping and a garden party at the Norwegian ambassador Jan Petersens residence. The garden party was hosted by Jan for the three Norwegian designers showing in Vienna. I got to show a preview of my collection to the guests of Jan and his lovely wife. 

But before that we went vintage shopping and this cute ant was part of a funny window display

Then a cab to a vintage market situated a little outside the city center. It was on it's way to the embassy so it was perfect

Kirsti and I are moving our office to a bigger location. That means we need a bar to complete our image. I found this fab bar but it was sold already, sadly. But now I know what to look for. It even came wth a captains hat and it's perfect for  hosting friday fun at the office.

Then off to the garden party

The sun came out just in time

Mitsu, who has been in charge of most of this :)

See the poor quality of these photos? It's because they're taken with my cell. I forgot my camera in the taxi. But as an optimistic person I am I expected the driver to come back with it, and he did!! I love this guy for his honesty and service. Thank  you!!!

Thank you Jan Petersen for hosting this party for us!!

Then schnitzel time. Yummie!!

On our way back to the hotel I found this poster. Something starnge is going on with Milli Vanilli live. And isn't one of them dead? Vienna feels a bit back to the nineties but this is too much twilight zone...

Tonight is the big show. Hope to get some photos right away to post them here.

First day of Vienna

After weeks and weeks of hard work preparing for our trip we finally arrived in Vienna. What to do in Vienna? A vintage fair. Hallelujah!!

To get the shoulders down, my first glass of wine in ages.

Practice some German. Check!

We were shocked that you still can smoke inside in Austria. And people were smoking like crazy. Not good for our wardrobe that is supposed to last for 3 weeks. It stinks already

Window shopping and architecture spotting

Then ready for our night out. Mario Soldo who runs the model agency Mother Agency called me and said I was supposed to be at a mall at 8 to be in the jury for a model contest. Be sure to look glamorous he said. I said 'ok'.

To get the look I had to wear  my bunny shoes from Minna Parikka :)

Ready to go!

My sister Christine came over to support me <3 p="p">

More jury people

Hard work

Mario giving us instructions

Job done

These are the winners. I got to deside on the male model and Walid was numero uno. Cutie!

Finished day at work and hungry. Wieners in Vienna

These are brightening up our hotel room. Today we are going to a garden party hosted by the Norwegian ambassador Jan Petersen. I will give a preview of my show that I'm having tomorrow. So stay tuned for more fashion news from Vienna.
