Describe Stockholm in 3 words:
Sparkling, breathtaking and stylish.
What do you love about the city?
It really is the Venice of Scandinavia, water everywhere!
Which is your favourite part of Stockholm and why?
I love Birkastan (Subway: St Eriksplan) because I both live and work here. You have the best coffee in Stockholm at Mellqvist, as well as a lot of small and nice specialist shops here.
Mellqvist Café & Bar, Rörstrandsgatan 4, 113 40 Stockholm.
What would be an ideal day for you in Stockholm when you are not working?
I start with brunch at Berns hotel on Saturdays, and then I go to some nice exhibits like Halvylska Palatset or Moderna Museet.; stopping for a cocktail at Grand hotel where you also have the grand view over the harbour where all the boats to the archipelago leave.

Most memorable moment in Stockholm:
My Spring/Summer '09 fashion show I had outside for the public in Berzelli Park last summer, it was magic!
What's the weirdest thing that has happened to you or that you've seen in Stockholm?
Taking a dip in the really cold sea next to the City Hall after partying all night at F12 was maybe not the best idea ever since it is really deep and there are strong currents there.
