vacker herre

In honour of seeing Sweden's best current band, Peter Björn and John's sold-out performance last night (tack så mycket to John for Oscar's guest list invites!) here is my favorite photo - a picture of youth - from the Sartorialist's latest post, in what is his first jaunt to Stockholm.

. . . Peter Björn and John, by the way, were brilliant live; scissor kicks, slick dancing, and fancy drumming tricks. Here's the video for Young Folks, off their latest album, Writer's Block.

She bangs

The Sartorialist recently featured the photo of a lithe woman with
jet-black bangs on her mobile phone. Her overall kit is impressive,
but it was her crown that's haunted me most. It is equal parts precision,
and intimidation - a look that few can master so stylishly. Her look, I
thought, had to be unique, until I saw her doppelganger pop up twice
on the catwalk of Vera Wang's ready to wear show last week... unless
of course, it's the same woman.
