Moods of Norway

Cocktail Farming

Today while working a large sample sale held at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, that held by Forward Fashion, I came across the retail channel "Moods of Norway". Moods of

Norway is a Norwegian brand that brings together the "hillbilly dilly lifestyle of glaciers, salmon fishing and one newly opened escalator and nights of cocktails and world traveling" one of the three business partner, Stefan Dahlkvist said.

Moods of Norway is a beautiful and eccentric collection with amazing Mens wear ranging from plaid suits to velour track suits, and Womens wear with to-die-for cocktail dresses or a bomber style puffer jacket. Moods of Norway has a showroom in the town of Stryn, but also a store off Robertson Blvd, with a giant tractor hanging above the door.

I was lucky enough to meet two of the three owners of the company, and the men are fabulous and charismatic men full of personality making it clear how they could become so established in only 6 years.

Stefan has a bright blue limo that he drives as his every day car, and at the sale they had a table set up with a Belgium waffle maker.

The company focuses ingenious little details, with a beautiful lookbook, cleverly placing little tractor embellishments on each garment and placing dance steps on the bottom of their shoe boxes. As well as labeling the inside of each suit jacket with "Made by really really pretty blondes" and the pants "inspired by deep Fjords a few cocktails and a grandmother with exquisite taste".

Moods of Norway is complete with a amazing brand, company and people. I know I will go to Robertson for a visit soon. After some harassing and minor eyelash batting I lured two determined Kentucky State football fans staying in the hotel to the sale. Leading them directly to Moods of Norway, one bought a shiny white suit, stating it was for New Years (purchased for $250, instead of $549 jacket, $179 pant retail price) while his friend happily munched on a waffle.

Many celebrities and well dressed individuals have been spotted in Moods of Norway merchandise, check out their clever website and blog here.
