Misha Draped Jacket Dress
Misha Faux Leather Panel Leggings & a hint of my new hangtags
Here is one of the many reasons I've almost stopped blogging in the past month or so. Geronimo is a new shop on what I think is one of the coolest streets in Stockholm, Bondegatan. Situated between Tjallamala and Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, the shop is the brainchild of Diego, who just like myself is a foreigner living in Sweden. Diego has a background in fashion and when he contacted me about stocking some of my garments in his then unopened shop, I couldn't refuse.
Since opening MishaMarket on etsy, I've had many requests from shops (mostly from Germany!) but I've had to turn them down due to the amount of work that goes with wholesale orders, etc. Since Geronimo is a new and local shop, I knew it was the perfect way for my brand to start growing.
So far I've made a few of my staple pieces, the panel leggings, draped jacket dress as well as some exclusives for the shop including a triangle trim panel skirt (photos later), a variation of my drawstring cage bag and a simple shirt dress. All black. We also have some more surprises on the way. For those of you that live in Stockholm, head to Geronimo at Bondegatan 46 to check out my selection as well as a lot more including some great organic pieces from Camilla Norrback as well as an array of other goodies!

fashion week always comes and goes every season before anyone has a chance to really keep track of what's going on. I feel like it gets more and more diluted every year with an unbalanced focus on models, celebrities and fashion insiders rather then the clothes or designers themselves, not to mention the fact that one of the biggest sources for fashion week coverage, Style.com, seems to overlook some of the best shows- even if they are independent. anyway- enough of my ranting as no matter how bad things get, there are always really amazing things coming out of fashion every season. number one on my list is the McQueen show but as far as lustful collections from the big designers go, Givenchy takes the cake.
I instantly recognized that this jacket has a serious similarity to the one David Bowie wore quite often during the Ziggy Stardust years. it worked then, it works now.
these are my favorites- although I loved all of the printed pieces, even the ones with color. The shoes are on my fashion grocery list already, I can't wait for them to hit stores.
EDIT: right after I posted this I realized I must be missing part of my brain because I loved the Junya Watanabe and Ann Demeulemeester shows just as much as Givenchy- if not more. There's just something and easy about the Givenchy that I've been thinking about the past few days.

current obsessions:
dressing as my alter ego- all white
deep purple matte lip color
slicked back straight hair
I know I haven't been updating this blog as often as I want to but I've been extremely busy working on a few collections on upcoming projects that I hope to unveil very soon.
in the meantime, I've turned one year older (today), changed my hairstyle, began making patterns once again, working like crazy, kick started my brand, redesigned my logo (images soon) and have stopped shopping like a madwoman.
