When Sarah Jessica Parker visited freezing Oslo for the Nobel Peace Prize this winter she came in a leather coat and left in a warm and snug down jacket. The two founders of Norwegian luxury brand Fleischer Couture left one of their beautiful coats in the reception where Sarah Jessica Parker was staying. They didn’t hear anything and assumed she didn’t receive it. But shortly after she was spotted wearing it. Not only during her stay in Oslo, but also as of recent in the wintery streets of New York.
We would too, if there was one for us! Who would have thought a down jacket could look this gorgeous!?
Fleischer Couture, founded in 2008 and based in Oslo, Norway, designs unique high quality winter wear for women, encapsulating materials such as merino wool, silk, cashmere, baby alpaca and goose down. Focusing on combining functionality and femininity, with a subdued classic look, we bravely state that our products constitute the perfect fail-safe choice. Fleischer Couture is the combination of a perfectly engineered fit, sporty details, butter-soft materials, golden buttons and a unique embroidered number. The collection ranges from jackets to underwear and from socks to beanies in soft muted colours with a hint of braver shades. See the full collection here fleischercouture.no

Designers Remix by Charlotte Eskildsen Campaign AW12
We absolutely adore Designers Remix by Charlotte Eskildsen. The silhouettes comfortably embraces womens feminine curves in a effortlessly chic way. Now only wondering why they’ve chosen to feature their latest Autumn Winter 2012 collection in such an unfashionable way. They’ve received a lot of criticism in Social Media, on Facebook and Twitter for the model being too slim and her hair greasy giving the impression she’s sick. We think it’s a shame they didn’t choose a more healthy looking image for their newest campaign, as the clothes are stunningly beautiful! designersremix.com
