GFC 2016 - GLOBAL FASHION CONFERENCE

Past two days has been really interesting and inspiring. Global Fashion Conference 2016 was hold here in Stockholm in partnership with Stockholm University and Centre for Fashion Studies, where I study. Me and my classmates got an opportunity to join the conference and hear interesting presentations about Luxury, Fashion and Sustainability from diverse aspects. In addition the presentations of guest speakers there were parallel sessions hold as well with different topics related for example to Fashion Sustainability, Luxury, and Communication and Media. Overall there were speakers from all over the world, that I think was great to get new views of fashion and fashion industry from different countries. It was also nice to get to know more what is happening in this field and learn new things about fashion and luxury business.

Global Fashion Conference is held every other year and now for the 5th time. It is important meeting point for academia and fashion industry, like it is said in the GFC website "GFC – Global Fashion Conference aims to bring together academia and industry, contributing to innovation in the fashion business".

Next Global Fashion Conference will be held in Paris in 2018.

GREETINGS FROM STOCKHOLM-ARLANDA

Nice Tuesday evening and greetings from Stockholm-Arlanda. Now I'm sitting next to my gate waiting for my flight to take off. I came here maybe a bit too early so now I have good time to share my today's outfit with you. I'm going to take a little get away from my studies (still have some of them with me) and going to visit my friends and family to Finland. I'm really waiting the rest of the week!

I love my new woollen jacket, which I found from Second Female sample sale last Saturday. It's so warm! I also like my new bag from the same brand, it's something that I have been looking for and perfect add to my Autumn outfits.

Next time from Finland!

THE NEW CHAPTER

It's been a while. It's been a summer and I hope you all had a wonderful one. I think that autumn, which is coming quite quickly by the way, is time for something new. Schools are starting, people are starting new hobbies or old hobbies after summer break or at least shopping new autumn/winter clothes. I haven't told you yet but I will also start a new chapter in my life tomorrow and I'm super super excited about that!

I'M MOVING TO SWEDEN!!

I'm becoming a student again, going to do my Master's in Fashion in Stockholm University. New country, new city, new school, new studies, new friends, new almost everything. It's been 6,5 years since I visited Stockholm last time on student cruise but I'm sure I'm gonna love that city. And my studies with fashion as well.

So next time I'm writing from Sweden! Have a nice week everyone!
