Ewa i Walla Autumn Winter 2010

November 5, 2010 by Scandinavian mum

Ewa i Walla is a Swedish fashion design company for adult and children’s fashion. It was funded in early 1990. The clothes have a sense of romance, haute couture and countryside chic.
Natural fabrics such as cotton, linen, silk and wool constitute the base in the collections and are mixed and matched in the most unusual way. This Autumn Winter 2010 collection is no exception. We love the checked dress and skirt with tons of layers and fabric, the knitted items and the nostalgic woolen coat -enjoy!




Ewa I Walla is planning to release their own online shop, containing previous collections to bargain price. It’s supposed to be ready any time, so stay tuned!

Preppy Moonkids

October 5, 2010 by Scandinavian mum

Moonkids is a Swedish fashion design company, producing clothes for children 0y-12y. Initially Moonkids was inspired mainly by the 60′s and 70′s, which is still apparent in the up to 4 yearly collections they launch.

For AW10 they have three high fashion lines; Rock, Street and Preppy. The Preppy line is inspired by British preppy school uniforms as well as the Amercian preppy sports wear.

The Preppy style is truly in season. While I’m unsure about the look-a-like uniforms I quite like the checked pieces that could work very well with lot’s of other styles.

Warning: Moonkids claim they test all their clothing on real children! ;)

Visit www.moonkids.se to see more of preppy, rock and street styles.
