My monthly spread for LGBTQ magazine QX. Talking about ”bad gays”, vogueing and a lion in bed. This month’s no, no, no - worn jeans are ok, but worn so much that we see you don’t have underwear is a bit much. #qx #lgbt #hbtq #badgays

For the German-Swedish weddding this weekend we were located at a hotel. Here in Nybro they have this conference room with an enormous fresco painting with history of Småland. Beautiful. #nybro @stephieberlin

At Kosta to look at glass. Love the mushroom glass by Ellen Ehk Åkesson. @kostaartgallery @ellenehkart #småland

Swedish Midsummer. German wedding in Sweden. @stephieberlin

Saw a beautiful exhibition at Frankfurt’s museum of modern art. Special exhibition on Marcel Duchamp. I didn’t know he was also a transvestite/drag queen. His female name was Rrose Sélavy. And it reads out as ”eros c’est la vie” meaning ”sex is life”. #frankfurt @mmkfrankfurt #duchamp #dragqueen #lgbtq @queer_modernisms

Just love stopping by Manufactum when in Frankfurt. Found this men’s scarf. Love. #frankfurt

My favourite pattern from Heimtextil is the one on the chair. Elegant. But also see a lot of separate flowers on light background. And finally a lot of line shapes. Kind of like unfinished rainbows. @heimtextil @messefrankfurtsverige #patterns #textiles

Day two at Heimtextil. Noticing that it is all about the fringes and tassels. Next year EVERY pillow will have fringes. In all ways. Picture nine is actually a duvet or bed set with fringes (not a throw). @heimtextil @messefrankfurtsverige #fringes

50 shades of orange. @heimtextil @messefrankfurtsverige

Lovely Portuguese textiles at Heimtextil. Colourful print - but also stripes. @crispimabreu.official @heimtextil @carlosmoura547
