Eleanor, 24, fashion person
Got Her: At the Louvre, in between shows.
Stalked Her: Because we love her jacket. Anyone who can make nautical work for Fall rocks our world.
Shot Her: Because she looks comfortably chic, balancing her fancy but logo-free bag with an easy going dress and cozy coat.

Moa, Visiting from Sweden
Got Her: at Ludlow and Rivington
Stalked Her: Because let’s face it - very few girls can wear knee length gladiators AND a one-shoulder dress and not look like they just walked off the set of 300, but somehow this chick managed to just pull it off.
Shot Her: We love the soft pink color of her dress, which helps to off-set the serious gladiators. Plus her hair kind of makes us want to quote Clueless…
She says: I’m just visiting for a few weeks but I think I want to move here!
We say: She looks like one of those Botticelli chicks. Sorry, we couldn’t resist…

Good news for Scando style:
Mercedes Benz has just signed on as a title sponsor for Stockholm Fashion Week!
MB already pays for the catwalks in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Berlin; their financial commitment to emerging Scandinavian designers echoes a growing awareness in the industry of the trendsetting moves from up north, especially in the youth culture markets:
Just look at the waves made by Acne Jeans, Nudie Jeans, Cheap Monday, and of course, H&M. On the higher end, the excellent designer Lars Nilsson is also from Sweden.
Hopefully MB will stock some Swedish models for the runways, too - it would be great to see the gorgeous Caroline Winberg, as seen at left, get in on the action.
