Very thrilled about Moods of Norway opening up their US flagship store in Beverly Hills. The good-mood factor of their label started even before their store officially opens. The Norwegian team of designers are here for the month in preparation of their store opening on the prime stretch of south Robertson boulevard.

"Happy Clothes for Happy People", is the slogan for Moods of Norway. The designers' obvious sense of humour and its integration to their concept, designs, website and campaigns are a welcoming breath of fresh air in the US fashion scene. Highly original with a remarkable trail of success, it is such a welcoming change to have them around in the midst of gloomy economy climate. Here's hoping the good mood will be spread along generously.

I met up with Simen Stalnaacke, one of the designers/owners of the label and we showed up in matching colours: the colour of minx and the colour of his label. Had I worn my Marc Jacobs black and white plaids jacket (as I did to Skin.Graft store opening the night before) it would have been a bit much. Hilarious.

Be sure to look at the shoes, they're amazing. Please don't be alarmed looking at the prices listed, they are in Norwegian kronor. US$ prices are  much more recessionista-friendly.
