We cornered our good friend Kristian Rajnai, one of the brains behind the retail concept Aplace at the PUB department store in Stockholm, and demanded some straight answers.
Hej Kristian,
As a true rolemodel of good taste, we find it only fair that you should share your wisdom with the rest of the world. Besides, it´s also rumoured that your feet enjoy the weight of a gram shoe. Tell us more...
Q: Firstly tell us about this Aplace place and how it came to be?
A: We started out by creating a fashion magazine and doing random events during Stockholm Fashion Week. Aplace just naturally followed in the wake of all this; a new platform that gave us the opportunity to showcase and sell the brands that we truly admire.
-----------------
Q: Give us a hint on your favorite location in Stockholm
Långholmen!
-----------------
Q: So what of the new AW09 collection? Of course we´d sponsor you with a pair so take your time and pick a true favorite!
I´d have to say the 271g Black canvas, very nice indeed. Love the shape and restrained aesthetic that they carry off so well.
