How do you select your clothing every morning?
Living in Stockholm means you always have to look at the thermometer in the window and then party! I don't do a big selection; I go for a designer shirt, black or grey pants, and a quality jacket. The most important thing in my daily look are the shoes — it takes a few extra minutes to choose the 'ones.’
Please describe your style in three words.
Fearless, rocker, and modern.
