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.

The good, the bad, and the... oh, be nice!

Okay okay, so I know everyone and their dogs will be covering what the dames of
Hollywood were wearing on the carpet rouge last night, but I can't help but offer my
two cents. I root for the films first, and their leading ladies second - but it's a close race.
(Sorry I'm leaving the menswear out of this, since all the male nominees seemed to be
wearing Armani made-to-measure!). There was a lot that I loved, and here it is:

The Good (Penelope Cruz in Versace, Reese Witherspoon in Olivier Theyskens.)

















(Below: Gwenyth Paltrow in Zac Posen, Kate Blanchett in Armani Privé.)

















The Bad, actually, the worst really:
You'd think that after starring in the fashionista flick, The Devil Wears Prada, there'd be serious pressure to look picture perfect, but Anne Hathaway's odd white Valentino number with a superimposed black tuxedo/gift bow front was, well, odd and unflattering.
