When Countdown, 3,2,1.
Ok, I cheated a bit. But after what has been a hectic weekend, it was not only needed, but mandatory. Yet here it is. Today is my last day at Faksimile. Perhaps a bit obvious as I’ve disappeared the last couple of weeks. Yet I’ve got something very exciting right around the corner. Launching my own street style page inspired me to be my own entity and build and develop on who Alexander Norheim is. AX80 ALIVE was a nice period of my life and I am ever so grateful, yet it is a period that has now come to an end. The era of The Sceptic has arrived. Sty tuned.

When Previews, Copenhagen Fashion Week.
A busy lifestyle and a new perspective has risen. Changes are abound as AX80 Alive changes into something new. Rebranding. With a HUGE database of pictures from both Oslo and Copenhagen, a new blog is on the horizon. Meanwhile, enjoy a sneak peek into my life in Copnhagen. From Veronica B Vallenes, Malene Birger, Northern Women in Chanel and Spon Diogo to Wackerhaus, Soulland, T-Michael and Henrik Vibskov, my experience in Copenhagen could really not get any better. Hope you are excited for the changes as well as I am!

Exclusive: Henrik Vibskov, The Show

When Runway, Henrik Vibskov.
The world of Vibskov seems to be palace without obstacles. As different visions of creativity collapse, a Vibskovian thought seems to arise. With an exclusive to AX80 Alive from Henrik Vibskov, a presentation of both backstage and runway shots is revealed. The Henrik Vibskov love of color and atypical gave room this season for more versatile pieces. The mixture of bold knits in brighter colors with loose riding pants gave an aesthetic of a relaxed man, in tune with his inner beat. Unafraid of color and texture incorporation into his everyday, yet keeping it classic through functional cardigans, coats and fitted dress jackets. It’s at that intersection that everyman takes charge of his own tune and creates their own presence. The true essence of the Henrik Vibskov man.

Exclusive: Henrik Vibskov, The Preparation

When Preparation, Henrik Vibskov.
People don’t always seem to understand what a fashion show really stands for. It’s not just a platform for showing off the latest trends or designs. It’s part of an entire expression of mind. You wouldn’t present a business plan wearing a track suit. Just as that, the arena helps transfer an idea longer. On an exclusive from Henrik Vibskov, here are some backstage (or on stage) pictures of the preparation of the set. The play on shapes and surfaces is not only proof of the meticulous task and level of detail coming from Henrik Vibskov, but also a message. Through an array of drums, a visual beat is played. Through an essence of white, each lever creates a drum beat, each model creates an own voice of style and each look is a unique one. Uniqueness in universality. Stay tuned for more exclusive backstage photos of his Parisian show!

Sometimes things come in sneak peeks. Such is the case of our new cover story with supermodels Valentina Zelyaeva (Ralp Lauren contract model) and worldwide renowned Heather Marks. Just a small taste of what is to come. Difficult not to be proud of the job one is a part of! Enjoy!

When Emphasis, Color.
Sitting a couple of meters away from Tim Blanks from Style.com and other fashion celebrities at the Menswear Acne S/S 12 show, I remember two major colors. From the array of classic colors, a red half-turtleneck and a jade bold knitted sweater stood out. After visiting the Acne Flagship store in Oslo (numerous times), I was rejoiced to see my favorite piece from the collection finally came to production. Apparently it’s produced in both menswear and womenswear. Already seen many girls chasing after this one, but I don’t mind. I love the color, I love the knit and I love the knitted texture. No one can tell me Jade doesn’t look just as good on me. And if there is someone, I guess I just won’t listen. Jade me on.

When Men’s fashion, Men’s T by Alexander Wang.
There is no doubt that Alexander Wang has mastered the art of basic luxury. Yet creating a succesful collection season after season of the basic jacket, shirt, trouser and sweater needs a constantly innovative mind in design. Through T, Alexander Wang has managed to keep that simplistic aesthetic and keeping the excitement in the mere naturalism of his designs. It’s in the textures and how they mix and match. Patricularly this season, the overall unison of dark Fall colors of Olive Green, Marine Blue, Black and Gray created a comefortable aesthetic worthy of every boy.
