It's the first investment within beauty that bundles well-documented facts and perennial research to create one daily holistic beauty routine focusing on feeling beautiful and feeling good. REBELBIRDZ is being launched within three areas: as a beauty mask, community and as an app.

    REBELBIRDZ was started with a driving force to help people feel good - both inside and out outside. REBELBIRDZ is more than a temporary quick fix, it's a digital and physical overall solution. Effective tips that are easy to follow and that make good, both inside and outside.

    Behind REBELBIRDZ is Victoria Senkpiel with a background from L'Oréal and also the founder of Glossybox.

    “The industry and the consumer are ready for a next step. Future customers want an effective overall solution for beauty. There is a saying that says - beauty comes from within. That's right.

    As part of the platform, REBELBIRDZ launches an exclusive beauty box in limited edition. The box is published four times a year and contains samples in original or travel size, from well chosen and exclusive brands.

  • ASKET - The clothing brand that won’t let you buy any clothing today

    Written by Fashion Tales

    In what can only be described as an act of defiance towards the consumption craze surrounding Black Friday, ASKET is closing down their store for the day, encouraging their fans to take care of what they already have instead of buying anything new today.

    STOCKHOLM November 23rd – While most brands and retailers are kickstarting the biggest shopping weekend of the year through extensive discounting, Stockholm-based menswear brand ASKET is taking a very different approach: closing down their store for the day and, instead of having you buy new items, launching a garment care portal, helping you to take care of what you already have. Entering their webpage you’re greeted with the following message:

    “Compared to only fifteen years ago, we buy twice as many garments but keep them only half as long. Instead of adding to these sad statistics through heavy discounts, designed to induce poor decision making and a false sense of need we're closing down the shop for the day and redirecting to our brand-new garment care portal. Today, you can't buy any new clothing from us, you can only learn how to care for and get the most out of what you already have.”

    In addition to the garment care portal, ASKET has opened up a clothing spa and repair shop at their Stockholm showroom on Dalagatan 27, allowing anyone to bring in garments from any brand for free treatments. They will also be hosting a live AMA (ask me anything) on Instagram encouraging anyone to send in their trickiest garment care questions and get them resolved over the weekend.

    Garment care is something of a lost art. We’ve become used to replacing instead of repairing. Many people, myself included, don’t even know how to attach a button these days. While we do our very best to create garments that are - in every aspect - made to last, educating on how to actually care for them and thereby prolong their lifetime is just as integral to our mission of slowing down consumption. By extending the life of a garment by just 9 months, you reduce the environmental impact by one third.” says Dworsky.

    This is not the first time ASKET is closing for business on Black Friday, last year all you could access was a picture of an empty chair and the sign “closed for your consideration”, a message that apparently resonated very well with the brands fans.

    We got a lot of love for that and decided that we need to keep making a statement here, encouraging people to really consider their decisions and provide a break from all the consumption propaganda filling social feeds and inboxes today. We really need to slow down, rethink and reduce our consumption. As a brand we feel obliged to act as a voice of reason, reminding you that you really don’t have to buy anything at all today. Twenty years from now we’ll look back at Black Friday the same way we look at smoking today: How could we not have understood how bad it is?” says Dworsky.

    About ASKET
    ASKET is an independent online-only menswear brand founded in 2015 in Stockholm by August Bard Bringéus and Jakob Dworsky with the mission is to slow down the fashion industry and change the way we manufacture, market, and consume clothing. Based on honest production, transparent pricing and revolutionary sizing, ASKET is creating a single, permanent collection of timeless essentials, so that we can reduce the amount of garments we actually need, and care for them more.

  • Wingårdhs and Ingegerd Råman release lamp collection for Örsjö

    Written by Fashion Tales

    Everything started as a joint project but ended in two cooperative collections. Wingårdh's chosen leather, Ingegerd Råman's paper. Now the collaboration with Smålands Örsjö Lighting is being launched.

    As a forerunner in Swedish design and architecture, Gert Wingårdh and Ingegerd Råman have a huge list of award winning and successful projects and products behind them. Together with Sara Helder, from Wingårdhs, trion has worked in several projects, such as Aula Medica and the Swedish Embassy in Washington.

    Now two unique product series have been created, Gert Wingårdh and Sara Helders Boa and Ingegerd Råmans Virvel. Boa is completely dressed in leather and with metal base. While Virvel is based on weight circular paper.

    Wingårdh's lamp series comes in four designs. Two floor fittings, an up-light and a reading lamp. A pendant luminaire and a wall lamp are under development.

    “I wanted to make a lamp in leather, I do not think anyone has done it before. I wanted to use the leather and its qualities. Simplicity and the iconic feeling. There is a danger in the material, a sense of rock n roll, says Gert Wingårdh.

    Its prominent trattform returns in all models and the leather that wears the lamp can be obtained in a variety of colors such as black, cognac or nature.

    “The lamp is also about craft and quality, the visible seams give both life and pattern. The metal tire, dressed in leather and the light source a bit in. It's strong, but does not take a lot of space. It gives a well-directed light with a hidden light source and minimal glare while I see in front of me that it can both camouflage in the environment or stand out, “says Sara Helder, Wingårdhs.

    Ingegerd Råmans Virvel is a series of two ceiling lamps made of circular weight paper from Småland Lessebo Handpappersbruk.

    - This is the first time I work with paper. I have always wanted to do that and thanks to the new technology with LED lamps it has become possible, says Ingegerd Råman.

    The material has many possibilities and the number of folds next to infinity. Currently there are two models in production, but more are under development, including a table lamp.

    - There is a special beauty in the thin and cut paper. Then I have always liked the character of the material, there is a transience that I appreciate. There are still an infinite number of folds, of which two are reported here, says Ingegerd Råman.

  • DAILYROUTINE SS19

    Written by Fashion Tales

    DAILYROUTINE's fashion wardrobe seven days a week presents the SS19, a collection of inspiration from Japanese indigo, work clothes and Miami in the 1970s.

    COLLECTION
    Japanese indigo and its special staining techniques were the starting point for Dailyroutine SS19. Indigotons create exciting contrasts and elevate eg the costume in coarse linen to a new level. The Workwear jacket, t-shirts and sweatshirts are spring keyboards that allow streetwear to meet it Scandinavian dandyn. Odd, untouched jackets, cotton costumes with AMF stitching (hand-knitted on inside of the jackets), wide laundered jeans, shorts, shirts and colors like vintage white, pelican purple, mint-turquoise and indigo have clear references to 1970's Miami. The blend of patterns has emerged with the streets as inspiration to find elements of colorful stripes and glencheck.

    THE SHORTS COLLECTION
    In front of SS19, Dailyroutine launches a Cruise Collection as a premiere of the Spring collection. Cruise collection consists of the season's best shorts, which are combined with either streetwear styles or with an elegant jacket, shirt or polo shirt. The task of the short collection was to design one shorts wardrobe consisting of elegant coarse linen shorts, luxurious cotton shorts, striped summer shorts in light linen and short tennis shorts. The color scale is indigo, gray, sand and light blue.
