Stockholm Street Style, Location: Hötorget

Location: Hötorget
Name: Marcel Pacheco

Marcel, an art student, loves life, art and music, in particular genres such as hip hop, samba, bosa nova, and jazz. Born in Sweden with Brazilian heritage, his beautiful hair is difficult not to swoon over! His style inspirations come from old movies and Japanese animation films. In Stockholm, he likes to shop at Beyond Retro, Weekday, Myrorna, Stockholm Stadmission and vintage stores.

Style is unique and personal, with fashion often being overpowered by the seasonal trends, and so Marcel tells me  "Everything is subjective, creativity comes in any form" which explains why his favourite quote is by Pablo Picasso: "Ah, good taste! .... Taste is the enemy of creativity".

Stockholm Street Style, Location: Gamla Stan


Name: Alexis Cordova
Location: Gamla Stan


Born and raised in Sweden to Chilean parents, art student Alexis aspires to be a body modification artist. He sees his body as a blank canvas, and just as his artwork, uses this as a form of expression. He loves 'difference' and 'individuality', all of which defines his style.

Stockholm Street Style, Location: Medborgarplatsen

Turbans have been re-interpreted throughout fashion history, born as a fashion statement, notably dating back as early as 1907, as an ‘exotic, eastern’ look, wartime and old Hollywood in the 1940′s and a bohemian edge in the 1970′s.

Felicia shows you can reinvent this vintage trend and play it more casual with her knitted turban, vintage jacket, and sheer black shirt. The play of textures she puts together spells S.T.Y.L.E.

If you want to knit a turban for this Autumn, check out this 1940′s knitting pattern I found from the V&A Museum in London. Or, why not play around with an old sweater or t-shirt!”
