Busy Busy Busy!

Busy busy busy! Where to start?

I left Copenhagen on 23rd December, after finishing off most of the odd jobs I needed to do before the Christmas break. The Spring 12 Pre-Collection was released (something I was responsible for) With a lot of help from my co-workers, the collection was launched and people were happy.

We had a few nice breakfasts in the office:

And we had a lovely visitor in the apartment just before I left:

Christmas was great. I was back home in Woking for a few days, with family friends in Newbury, and then in St. Alban's for the rest of my Christmas break. It was a well needed rest and I ended up going back to Copenhagen feeling much healthier than when I left 10 days beforehand!

We went to the theatre for Ellie's birthday:

My first week back was packed, as expected, with the January sale in full flow and lots of sales planning going on for AW12. Insight AW12 collection for Men and Women arrived in the apartment:

The buyers are currently at Pitti Uomo (Florence) to do the majority of the buying for Norse Store. As for Streetmachine, they will be doing a lot in Berlin from Wednesday next week. 

Some very exciting news... I will be representing Norse Projects at "Capsule" in Berlin and Paris! I will be selling to existing stores and showing the collection to potential buyers, alongside Kenneth, the commercial manager. So, I leave for Berlin on Wednesday 18th, fly to Paris on the 20th and come back to Copenhagen on the 24th. This will be my first time at the trade fairs so I am pretty pumped about meeting lots of new people.

Last Friday I got back to the apartment after a long day in the office, only to find Ellie there! Surprise was an understatement! We went to Malmö, Sweden, on Saturday, and had a really good weekend hanging out. We went to a museum / art gallery / aquarium which was super cool, and ate lots of nice food!

Check out the last photo - that painting was pretty creepy. Anyway... very good times indeed. 

My next post will be about my travels. I hope to take lots of photos, but I might not be able to take many because everyone is going to be very sensitive in regards to photography (seeing as the product I will be seeing isn't out in stores until August / September 2012). I'll see what I can do, just you can get the idea of where I went! :)
