Describe your style in three words?
– Practical, minimalist, oversized, Mikal Murstad tells Melk.
Who is your Norwegian and who is your international style icon?
– I probably do not have any style icons, but if I have to name a name I thought it was worth following on instagram, I would say: @patrickstangbye @fredaart and @ryo__takashima.
Which city gives you the most inspo?
– Copenhagen / Seoul.
Where is your “everyday uniform”?
– Oversized pleated pants and an oversized sweater or shirt.
What do you like to wear to a party?
– About the same as on otherwise. I basically appreciate dressing up for a party, but it does not weigh as the goal of being a wardrobe with clothes I only use regularly.
– But a hat works.
What is the boyfriend you have in the wardrobe?
– The boyfriend I have in the wardrobe is probably everything I have, which is a bit of the point. I have no few garments I use a lot.
What is your biggest boom purchase?
– It’s probably a pair of Adidas oamc x type 0.2r which I actually knew was going to be too small. I wanted them so much that I tricked myself into thinking they would fit anyway.
You have five minutes before you can run out the door; What are you doing?
– Takes on the closest thing to me, possibly what I found out the day before.
– Almost everything I have fits together. Aside from navy and black, I have a little trouble combining that.
What is your benefit right now?
– A white Keble shirt from Studio Nicholson.
What trend do you think Norway can take a break from right now?
– I’m not that updated on that. Hope people wear practical clothes that make them feel good.
Minimalist or maximalist?
– Minimalist.
Harry Styles or Tyler, The Creator?
– (Google …) Finds pictures of both; slightly more cool looks on Harry.
Jeans or suit pants?
– It asks.
– It is more difficult to find a nice suit pants. But when you find the right one, it can fit everything.
Leather jacket or blazer?
– Blazer.
What kind of look will impress you with on a date?
– The style of Linda Christiansen impresses me both on a date and in everyday life.
What are you going to wear in the spring of 2022?
– My faithful Studio Nicholson pants, a pair of Novesta Star champions and a coat from Mfpen. And a hat when there is a party.
