![[:en]Why be monochrome when you can go pink?[:sv]Bryt den monokroma trenden, använd pasteller[:]](http://www.thomasfalkenstedt.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/TS_DSC_1395-770x512.jpg)
[:en]Today I want to showcase some exceptional design. If you’ve followed me for a longer while, you know I’m a sucker for skinny jeans combined with an oversized top. Basically I haven’t worn baggy pants due to the fact that I’ve lived in the diluted thought that I look short as a midget in them. I’m not tall to begin with (approx 5 foot 7) so I need all tricks out there to make me look taller, but strangely enough this baggy look doesn’t make me look short(er) at all. In fact, I like this brand so much I will wear their creations to London Fashion Week Men’s 2017 (where I’ll be next week, yay) to showcase Swedish fashion.
The brand I’m talking about it KHND Studios who have already made it on the US market, but finally are coming over to Europe and I’m immensely proud I get to showcase a waste range of their products, something you’ll see in my coming posts. This post is not about being patriotic about Swedish clothing though, but about good design in general.
The details and materials are beautiful and so are the colors of the garments. As I’ve said before, I don’t give a flying freak about conventions in fashion. If I want to wear pastel in the winter, I do so and wearing pink, champagne and beige just brightens up the streets that are so monochromatically black at the moment.
Then there’s the part about accessorizing… I truly feel naked if I’m not wearing a timepiece. Let’s call me a watch addict, but If I don’t wear one it’s almost as bad as leaving home without my iPhone (well, not quite as bad, as that would result in utter disaster). This timepiece is one of a kind so to speak. It is from a recently launched German company called Lilienthal Berlin and I’m one of the first who got to wear them and have received many compliments about the black and gold combination of this particular model. All their watches are inspired by the lifestyle in Berlin and that suits me well as Berlin is basically just as crazy, creative and daring as I am when it comes to everything from sharing my own opinions to what I wear. I’m not as far out there as some people in Berlin, but I do walk my own path in life.
The tower in the background is called “Turning Torso” is situated in Malmö where I work and it’s the highest building in Sweden. It’s a cool residential building and for those who love architecture (as I do) I can tell you it’s a creation of the renowned architect Santiago Calatrava and from here you can see the bridge (connecting Sweden and Denmark, also known from the TV-show with the same title) as well as the skyline of Copenhagen in Denmark. Living down here has its perks and being able to cross several borders and enter new countries in a matter of a few hours is certainly one of them. You’ll see loads more to come from KHND Studios as well as Lilienthal Berlin, but this was a short introduction. And oh, just for the record, KHND Studios are having a mid season sale at the moment so make sure to check them out!

Photos: Thomas Sandau[:sv]Idag vill jag visa er utmärkt design från Sverige. Som vanligt är jag alltid lika exalterad när ett svenskt företag lyckas väl med något och nu har jag fått chansen att visa upp stora delar av KHND Studios sortiment, något ni kommer att bli varse om i kommande inlägg. Faktum är att jag faktiskt haft lite svårt för det här med “pösiga” byxor tidigare då jag är kort (174-5 nånstans) och har levt i villfarelsen att baggy byxor gör mig ännu kortare, men så är inte alls fallet här. De facto gillar jag deras grejer så mycket att jag kommer att bära deras outfits så gott som varje dag under London Fashion Week Men’s 2017 nästa vecka. Det här är dock inte ett inlägg om hur underbar svensk design är (även om så är fallet), men snarare om snygg design över lag.
Detaljerna och materialen i plaggen är både vackra och härliga att ha på sig. Jackan är en imitation av sammet som är balsam för själen (ni som sett mina Instastories har sett att jag bokstavligen levt i den här jackan senaste månaden). Vad gäller färger så har jag samma inställning som till allt i livet, även när det gäller mode, nämligen: strunta i konventioner. När gatubilden just nu är relativt tråkigt monokrom och svart så bryter jag den gärna med lite rosa, champagne och beige.
När vi sedan pratar om accessoarer så är en klocka obligatorisk för varje outfit. Om jag inte har en klocka på mig känner jag mig verkligen naken. Inte lika naken som när jag någon enstaka gåjng glömt mobilen hemma dock. Det mina vänner är ett rent helvete (Mvh, mobilberoende). Den här klockan från det tyska företaget Lilienthal Berlin har jag fått många komplimanger för och inte utan orsak. Kombinationen guld och svart är klassisk, men ändå med en twist. Då det nystartade hämtar sin inspiration från gatulivet i Berlin, en stad dit trendkänsliga européer vallfärdat i flera år (dock inte jag av just nämnda skäl, jag följer inte trender) är det ännu roligare att bära en klocka som inspireras av samma saker som jag, nämligen kul, annorlunda och lite udda. Att gå emot strömmen helt enkelt även om jag inte är lika avantgarde som vissa personer i Berlin.
Jag insåg att jag, efter att ha bott i Skåne i 4 år fortfarande inte haft en enda plåtning med Turning Torso i bakgrunden och tyckte att det var dags nu. Som jag nämnde tidigare kommer ni att se mängder av kläder från KHND Studios och jag vill även passa på att säga att de just nu har mellandagsrea!

December 28, 2016 at 12:14 amLove the pink bomber! I’m 5’7 as well so I know what you mean about trying to look taller although I do love the wide leg pants too. Loving also how the tones in the sky match your outfit. Well done!
Miki
December 28, 2016 at 12:32 amLove your style and really love the lighter pink color! I think they’re so refreshing for colder seasons. Rules are meant to be broken, aren’t they? The watch looks so sleek and is such a great classic time piece! Always do you – afterall there’s no one else out there like you. 🙂 Great photos Thomas!! I hope you had a great holiday!

December 28, 2016 at 4:52 amThose cargo pants don’t look like cargo pants at all. Love the way they taper toward the bottom. And pairing them with a pink top is a great style idea. Totally love that bomber jacket. But the dial on that watch is the best – so glam with all the gold touches.

December 28, 2016 at 5:47 amYou look so street and cool in this outfit! OMG I’m actually reallyyyy loving the pink outerwear on you and although it’s pink, I feel like you’ve styled it in such a way that still looks so masculine. 🙂 I think you also look great in the baggy pants here and I can’t tell at all that you’re short! I think it’s also because the fit of these pants is just so perfect on you.

The pics are truly fantastic and it shows so much details. I will be checking this brand for sure.
Your wrist game is always on point and this one is not an exception. I love the design of the watch and its elegance. I am in the same boat with you, i cannot leave home without a watch on my wrist.

December 28, 2016 at 4:18 pmI checked out KHND Studios’ site and must say I love their designs. All pieces are uniquely designed and reasonably priced as well! This light pink jacket looks perfect on you and you are right about brightening up the dark winter days. I am so glad KHND Studios decided to choose you to represent their brand as they couldn’t have made a better choice. Thank you so much for also giving us some background story on where you work. You make everything sound more interesting than it is.
Keep up the good work!

December 28, 2016 at 5:05 pmI love this light pink color on you! The bomber really completes the outfit. I definitely agree with trying to brighten up winter days, my go-to is blush right now 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing this blog post ! I really enjoy reading your content ! This is a great style ! I will definitely try to do something similar someday.
Stephanie
December 28, 2016 at 7:57 pmI must say, this just might be my favorite outfit on you yet! Joggers rather suit you, and if you’re under the impression that the bagginess makes you appear shorter, I would definitely say at least in this outfit, you’re quite wrong. I think you look fantastic! And the pink is such a nice change from all the black I’ve been seeing (and wearing) lately. Plus, the way the sun looks in the background gives everything the most perfect glow in these photos. Love it all, Thomas!

December 29, 2016 at 12:49 amI literally just posted today a monochromatic pink look! Too funny. I love your jogger-type khaki pants. Joggers are the best way to go, because I’m in the same short boat (5’4′). Your style is so on point and I always love reading your posts. Hope you have an amazing new years!

December 30, 2016 at 11:53 pmI love these sunset photos! You could not have done better with it to suit this look as well. You must have had to shoot really quickly to get it all done!! I think I thought the same about being to short to wear this sort of pant length, but I was wrong too. I LOOOOOVE this watch! Sending the link to my bf right now. Thank you!

January 2, 2017 at 6:13 amI love this look! I’m also on the shorter side, so I totally get being wary of styles that would accentuate that, but I totally agree that this one doesn’t make you look short at all! It’s so stylish!
