The Fashionista

MV: Tell us a bit about yourself! How old are you, where are you from, favorite band, food, and pass time?

TF: My name is Alexander, and for the past 8 months, I’ve been known to the public as The Fashionista. I currently live in Oslo, where I also study finance at the Norwegian School of Management. My favorite band is A-ha, but they’re sadly going separate ways after their last concert in December. I’m a food lover, but one dish?! Hmm, I do love me some lamb… maybe in a curry? Ohh, and favorite past time leisure, alongside being with my fiancee, is blogging.

MV: Lamb has definitely been on my radar lately. Congrats on being engaged! So, when did you start blogging, and why?

TF: I started blogging in early October 2009. I’ve blogged at several occasions before, but nothing as serious as this. The reason why I started was really because I felt all the other “big” fashion blogs were just humbug. For instance, this one blogger, he had so much success, so many sponsors, and 80% of his published blogs were about him travelling, showing off those bad seats on Delta business and what not.

I decided I wanted to provide something that my readers would really enjoy, and that they would see themselves in. I also decided I needed a niche, we all know that there’s a few fashion blogs out there. Today, I publish interviews with famous fashion personalities, such as the designer Adam Lippes, or famous blogger James Andrew. In addition to letting me meet all these great people, it has opened a lot of doors for me.

Stylish from the start

MV: That sounds amazing! So, what can we expect to see when we stop by your blog?

TF: I’ve set my focus to three things: fashion, art and photography. Within those three categories, I have a lot of artistic freedom, in that sense that I can interview anyone within the fashion sphere, because fashion really is all about art and photography as well.

I also write a lot about style, I cover fashion week and I might even start throwing in some street fashion.

MV: I would love to see Norwegian street fashion on your blog. Wrapping up our interview, what is one tip you would leave other bloggers?

TF: I think the one most important tip, is to know your readers. Without the readers, a blog is nothing. When you understand what the readers do for you, and how they can make you walk that extra mile, you’re successful in my eyes.

Is it just me, or are all Norwegians fashion-savvy?!
