The human race

Every season I look forward to Cheap Monday, for the clothes obviously, but also because the team at CM always hits a homerun with the venue and soundtrack for their shows. This season's was no exception, held on location at a skatepark in Stockholm at night. The music was again perfect, especially the Terminator sample at 3:02.



I gotta remember to stalk these shades next season!

Cheap Monday SS10

On Monday night, it was raining denim in Sweden's capital. Cheap Monday took us into a grunge-infested, almost apocalyptic world for spring. This is new head designer, Ann-Sofie Back's first collection for the brand. Although having just joined Cheap Monday in May, this is only a teaser hinting at the direction she will eventually take for her first full collection for the brand, which won't be until spring/summer 2011. I have a feeling by then, we'll be on the edge of our seats, but I'm already analyzing each look trying to figure out what Ann may have touched.

Overall, I wouldn't exactly call this collection polished or their most innovative, but it still embodies what I love about Cheap Monday- accessible, casual and cool- and I know Ann will push it even further.
