I worked as President of House of Waris for a year and a half, and Waris is one of my favorite people. He is not only a talented designer but also a warm and genuine person and a pleasure to work with.

When I was working at Gilt, a lot of people at the time - this is back in 2009; Gilt launched in 2007 - were making their first fashion purchases online and at a discount.

We use digitisation and 3D-render programs such as Optitex and ClO3D to create the silhouettes, but we invented our system to let users mix and match components in real time.

Overall, I was extremely impressed with the fashion scene that Stockholm has to offer, both on and off the runways.
Aslaug Magnusdottir -
Part of the budget should be used to purchase the items that you really need, such as a new coat or boots. Part of the budget should then be set aside to buy things you fall in love with and can't live without.
Aslaug Magnusdottir -
I consider myself to be a citizen of the world.
Aslaug Magnusdottir -
There are so many women throughout the world who appreciate beautiful design and have the budget to buy designer fashion but sometimes have a hard time finding the things that they really want or that suit their lifestyle or their culture or whatever it may be.

The Stockholm street style is distinctive, with ensembles that exemplify the city's understated elegance.

If someone is making a very expensive purchase decision, they typically have a lot of questions about the fit and about what to wear the item with. In some cases, they'll ask for additional images or want to contact the designer.

It's definitely an interesting question: 'Do you need more funding to start a luxury business?' That's something I want to think about a little bit more.

A lot of people made their first luxury fashion purchase, but at a discount. And that made it an easier purchasing decision.

As I have written before, one of my favorite parts of my job as CEO of Moda Operandi is the opportunity I get to explore international fashion scenes to discover new talent, and then being able to introduce these designers to our community of fashion-savvy customers worldwide.
Aslaug Magnusdottir -
I was eager to see what Swedish design had to offer and get a sense of its fashion culture, and Altewai Saome was the perfect introduction.

Having grown up in Iceland and Los Angeles, gone to school in Europe and America, and lived and worked in London and New York, my insatiable appetite for travel has informed many of my life decisions.
Aslaug Magnusdottir -
As a customer, I would see pieces that I loved and then find out they weren't being made because no store had ordered them.
Aslaug Magnusdottir -
I first met Michael Angel when he came to my office with a box of prints and asked me whether I thought he should make dresses from the prints.
Aslaug Magnusdottir -
I'm Icelandic, from this small country where there was very limited access to fashion when I was growing up, and so, for me, it's really important to have a product that's relevant for this global customer.
