Filippa Smeds Backstage

I’ve got a thing for Filippa Smeds. Swedish redhead, something about it just works. She was in a backstage video shoot put together by photographer Emma Svensson—a whole lineup of models including Linn Gustafsson, Emma Elwin, Emma Nygren, Karoline Andersson, Sandra Hansson, Miriam Assai, Signe Siemsen, and Cissi Wallin. Quick behind-the-scenes thing, but worth watching.

There’s something about video that photos don’t capture. The way someone actually moves, how they shift their weight, these tiny gestures that matter more than you’d expect. Watching Filippa made me remember why I liked her in the first place.

I’ve been into The Sonnets lately too—Swedish band, summer sound—though it’s been raining nonstop, which kind of kills the whole summer thing. But that’s not really the point. Point is I ordered her T-shirt. Seemed like the right move.
