From their main office in Stryn, a magical place known for glaciers, salmon fishing and one newly opened escalator, Peder Børresen, Simen Staalnacke, and Stefan Dahlkvist of Moods of Norway have garnered unprecedented international acclaim in just five years. Featuring fashionalble street- and coctailwear with an explosion of colors and traditional Norwegian patterns, this summer marked the opening of the first Moods of Norway store in the U.S. in Beverly Hills – a celebration complete with imported snow, a skiing competition, a golden tractor and Norwegian waffles. Never straying from their values and roots the brand has opened stores in Japan, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the Benelux countries, but also in tiny Flø, a Norwegian town with a population of 160.
Besides making their grandmas happy, the design trio at the helm of Moods of Norway aim to make happy clothes for happy people around the world. As of this golden minute, Moods of Norway is represented in the most polished boutiques and by the finest agents across the globe. Stefan, Peder and Simen are still commandeering golden tractors around the world and are creating outrageous stories and super duper collections at an alarming rate.
