Hanneli mustaparta biography for kids
The Hanneli Mustaparta Blogger Collection is now Live!
Ready yourself for a fashion frenzy… the long awaited Blogger Collection 2015 is here.
Introducing the ‘International Street Styles’ Collection by Hanneli Mustaparta, a must-see mix of on trend and affordable footwear handpicked by an internationally renowned fashion high flyer.
Mustaparta, Norwegian born stylist, photographer and trendsetter has become known all over the fashion world for her minimalist and simple style. Also a model for various renowned publications, Hanneli lives in her adopted home of New York and is revered as an international fountain of fashion wisdom, providing effortless but easy to follow and stylish clothing collaborations and predicting the next season’s biggest trends. Cool casuals, playful sporty styles and elegant shapes make up this year’s 2015 blogger collection that is a sure must have for any fashionista.
Starting with the sleek and stylish, Hanneli’s first choice is a classic chelsea boot with a contemporary twist. Featuring a patent upper and contrast stitching, this wardrobe staple is sure to see you through the colder months from start to finish. Team with skinny jeans and a chunky knit for a relaxed and quirky look. This is a personal favourite and I can’t wait to style this versatile boot up with all of my winter clothing!
Girly but with a rock-chick twist, this chunky sole shoe is a toe-dip into the water that is this year’s androgynous trend. Heavy look footwear is everywhere this season and if, like me, you are a little apprehensive about going in for the really full on look, try teaming these with a knitted jumper dress or skirt and blouse combo for a relaxed feminine look. The basic shape and minimal detailing makes them easy to pair with a wide choice of colours and patterns making them… well more an investment that just a pair of shoes really! (Definite shoe addict rationale there!)
Lazy weeken
How to do New York like an Insta-Girl
Who doesn’t love a good local? You know what we’re talking about: those establishments in your neighborhood, where you go on a lazy Sunday, a quiet weeknight, alone, with in-laws, with friends, that’s familiar, comforting, consistent. Maybe it’s a bar, a member’s club, a boutique filled with items just waiting to become keepsakes, a greasy spoon. Likely the staff knows and recognizes you, if not as a friend, than at least as a regular. Maybe you have a loyalty card.
Yeah, we love a good local. Especially in a city like New York, where, let’s be honest, you’re probably not BFFs with your neighbor and the stray cat is the friendliest thing on your block. With all this in mind, we asked two of our favorite longtime New Yorkers, Chuck Grant (photographer sister to the one and only Lana Del Rey) and Hanneli Mustaparta to get poetic about their places: an Upper East Side bagel shop and a independent photography bookstore in the Bowery, respectively. And with the two of them all dressed up in Aritzia’s fall collection, we got them talking about all their other favorite spots, too, from Korean spas to the bicycle seat.
“Bagel Bob’s is like the neighborhood favorite bagel place. I’ve been going there for five years maybe, and it’s been the same guys that work there. I mean, I love them; they’re like family. And there’s a group of elderly people who are always there and this one woman who I think is kind of the HBIC. She’s really funny and they have all these really amazing discussions that I’ve overheard—they’re always there in the morning and then I’ll be on the other corner.
I normally go early in the morning. Sometimes I go in my pajamas with one of my roommates or I’ll go and read a book. Honestly, it’s more just to say hi to the guys at this point. I go pickup a bagel and then I’ll eat it on the subway. Sometimes I just wake up and go down and say hi to them without getting a bagel.
Recently, I’ve been listening
"I see the Calvin Klein girl as strong, fun, and confident," says Hanneli Mustaparta. It takes one to know one—Hanneli, the brand's social media curator, fits that bill perfectly.
With about 40,000 followers on Twitter and one of the most successful personal style blogs on the web, Hanneli has combined her unique sartorial sense with fresh photography skills (and a dash of personality) to create a blogosphere empire reaching nearly every corner of online fashion media. In her role at Calvin Klein, she shares her social media savvy and modern-meets-classic look with the iconic American label.
Relating her own taste to Calvin Klein's wasn't a stretch, says Hanneli, who even modeled for the brand early in her career. "Calvin Klein's designs are so minimal and refined, which fits within the aesthetic that I really love," she says. "It's my style all the way. I just get to play with beautiful pieces and make them my own."
Though managing multiple platforms for both herself and a highprofile design house might seem daunting, Hanneli stays grounded by keeping true to her instincts. "Never blog just to put something out there," she says. "I would post only things that excite me."
There's a lot to be excited about—from attending the Met Gala in a dress hand-fitted by women's creative director Francisco Costa to traveling to South Korea, Hanneli describes her experience as guest curator as "a dream." She even had a thrilling once-in-a-lifetime chance to explore the Calvin Klein archives, with collections dating back as early as the 1960s: "I got chills all down my back."
Also in the archives? A photo of Hanneli hanging next to the dress she wore to one of her first Calvin Klein Collection dinners. Just goes to show that Hanneli's classic beauty, like a Calvin Klein garment, is forever.
