More Kanye, less Bieber.

Jeg læste i går et indlæg på skønhedsbloggen Into The Gloss, hvor bloggeren Emily Weiss beskriver sit venskab med den danske model Caroline Brasch-Nielsen: Når Emily er i tvivl om et tøjkøb i et prøverum, så skriver hun til Caroline. Hun giver de bedste råd.... Anyways, det er en virkelig fin artikel, som I kan læse her. 

Caroline Brasch-Nielsen er en vaskeægte stjerne blandt street style fotograferne. Hun har det der je-ne-sais-quoi, der oversættes til it-girl. 

Jeg så fx et indslag med Danmarks modeguru (*fnis*) Uffe Buchard i januar, hvor han havde CBN som kommede it-girl i 2013 sammen med Oh Land og engelske Suki Waterhouse.

Det fede ved CBN er, at hun ikke skjuler sin enorme interesse i mode. Hendes iøjnefaldende stil er ikke tilfældig eller uigennemtænkt. I flere interviews fortæller hun, at hun er super passioneret omkring mode og gerne vil fortsætte i modebranchen fx som stylist, når karrieren som model er slut. 

Caroline Brasch-Nielsen kommer i ITG-artiklen med sine "shopping rules", og jeg vil gerne gengive dem som den dovne blogger, jeg er (tsk, genbruger andres materiale). Men hvem vil ikke gerne have shoppingråd fra en it-girl? 

Hendes shopping rules er som følger: Swag is key, but more Kanye, less Bieber

1) “I love colors. I think it’s difficult to wear black. I never only wear black; I don’t know how to put it together. I like Anna Dello Russo a lot because I like the way her outfits are saturated. It’s always too much—and I kind of like too-much sometimes. I like Balmain, Lanvin…if I could wear head-to-toe Balmain, I would.”

2) “I have a thing for coats and jackets. I love jackets. I have, like, twenty. I just think you can look so chic with a good jacket on. All you really need is a nice coat, and a nice bag. I’m really keen on getting a red leather motorcycle jacket from Balenciaga.”

3) “Right now, I like mixing animal prints with bright colors. Like, an animal-print jacket with a bright-colored scarf and a bright bag. Colorful bags—epic. You know what bag I like at the moment? The traditional Dior bag, but in colors. I would go with pink, I think. Hot pink is perfect with leopard. And I only like smaller bags. I mean, how much stuff do you really have to put in a bag? Not so much, usually.”

4) “I never wear heels—only flats. I think sneakers look really modern right now. They just make outfits look cool. I like Kanye’s style. I like when he does designer pieces with expensive sneakers and lots of gold earrings—it’s so cool.”

5) “I think you’re better off browsing than going out to buy a specific thing. I never think, ‘Oh, I need a coat, I’m going to go get a coat.’ You should see what’s out there, and not feel pressured to get something just because you need it. Also, it seems like every time you’re ‘on a mission,’ you don’t find what you’re looking for. I like Net-A-Porter because you can check it often, it looks good, and it’s easy. And I love to shop in Paris and in New York.”
