A trip down memory lane - our time in the fashion industry - by ARNE & CARLOS

Hi everyone,
today we want to bring you down memory lane, and do a storytime show and tell. We have brought out some of our old archives and will dive deep into our past as fashion designers.
Before we started our knitting design adventure, we had a long career in the fashion industry. We both have design backgrounds, and have had a very diverse career. As we have been doing our KZbin channel for so many years, we wanted to reintroduce us and our previous design work. Maybe you will learn a bit more about that part of our life.
Join use for a walk down memory lane and hopefully you will enjoy this episode!
Best wishes,
• A trip down memory lan...

What a treat to go down memory lane with you. Where does 20 years go ? Looking at the designs and feeling that they are still fashionable today, You two are timeless and aging handsomely well! Thank you for your videos.❤

[@catnapper3923]

I like the backwards-worn dress! “It looks nice, but on the back she will have two humps!” You two are prolific. Xx

[@kirsikivinen167]

What a journey You gave us ❤ Please, tell just more about your previous works and projects. It's very intresting to see and hear. You are so GOOD 🎉

[@norahmcphee4928]

Good evening Arne and Carlos, It's so funny to look back on how things happened, the good, the great and maybe the not so great as well, but it all goes to write our story. I first seen you during the 90's when i was a newly made mum and seen you in a magazine. I was a newspaper and magazine merchandiser who stocked up all the newspaper shops,, so i used to pick some of the latest magazines to take out on my trips with me. My favourite thou was when you first started knitting everything from socks to jumpers, as you just seemed to knit from your head and worked it out as you went along. It was the first time that i had seen what looks like our fairisle knitting made into socks (i live in Scotland). I hope that you enjoyed going through the past as much as i did seeing some of the things that you had done, thank you both. I am so glad to see that your national museum has some of your wonderful pieces that your nation can share in seeing their beauty. Sending you crafty hugs from Norah, Glenochil, Central Scotland

[@alisonmclane2631]

Creativity stays current! You two are timeless.

[@marshabanks665]

This was so much fun...traveling down Memory Lane with both of you. Those pleated designs are amazing as well as the smocked ones. You make my day!

[@clairemcmorss2406]

Lovely episode! So nice to see and hear about your career in the fashion industry and your designs. Very inspiring!

[@cherylg.813]

Happy Sunday dear friends! What a treat to stroll down memory lane with you today! I think it is so nice that you have your tremendous journey so well documented. Thank you for sharing! I have been knitting for 55+ years and never once thought to take pictures of any of my items until about 10 years ago. I still forget sometimes before I give someone a completed project. I haven't been able to work on my knitting for the last month, but hope to get back to it soon. Moving on Tuesday and everything is packed up at the moment. Have a wonderful week! ❤🤗😘

[@user-id4gh7dh2i]

Hello ARNE and CARLOS!!! I'm Margaret from Wisconsin and I descend from three separate Norwegian families who came to Stoughton, Wisconsin in the 1880's. I'm learning about Norway and its traditions from your videos! You guys are great!!!

[@suepopoff3159]

[@barbkenney5843]

Oh my. You lads need to design a fabric which includes your 'caricature' type drawings from Paris. Pure delight! Put the ladies on a border, in stripes or all over the fabric..so lovely.

[@felicityjacobs9608]

I can only say WOW! What a journey,and yet you are so humble about the whole experience. You guys are fantastic! The creativity and designs are unbelievable. Felicity Jacobs, Cape Town, South Africa

[@Bobbieliz]

Was this trip ever fun! AND so very mesmerizing! All that you showed us was memorable! SO glad you made this video. Such design talents!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@seasidestitches615]

Beautiful afternoon with you both. Awesome accomplishments and lovely memories to be privy too! Thanks so much, Susan x

[@barbarakb8847]

Oh wow! Thank you for sharing your fashion design archive! You wear the past 20 years well. Just love your designs.

[@florenceluo5984]

I loved seeing your old projects, especially your fashion designs! The creativity, ingenuity of design, and attention to detail are amazing, and so inspiring. There is a timelessness about your style, and the designs are just as beautiful as ever! Thank you for sharing and inspiring us!

[@sheilamann6721]

Such a delightful video,seeing you laugh as you recall your fashion career. 5 thumbs up!

[@annesmith3352]

Love sweaters from Svalbard fabulous! Thank you enjoyed all of podcast! Xx 😘

[@the_oslovian]

Incredibly inspiring! I had no idea you did anything before the knitting designs! So impressed. I love that you share this!

[@tpoole69]

Hello, how wonderful to take this journey down memory lane with you both. So wonderful to see. Thank you❤

[@carolfaber585]

I love seeing some of the clothing you designed, but especially the pictures of you long ago. I have to say, like fine wines, you’ve improved with age! Although I do like the “surfing” photo of Carlos, even if he doesn’t. You look so happy 😊❤ Then there are your beautiful curtains, set off by the outfits you chose for this video. A gorgeous episode all around. Thanks!

[@gsagadin]

this is totally amazing. all the things to look back on and remember. some of those fashions NEVER go out of style!!

[@clonejones7955]

That denim Redingote military coat with the red topstitching didn't make an appearance.I really love that coat! Lots of beautiful creations.🇨🇦♥️👍

[@thizizliz]

It's so cool to see those old styles - very lovely and they appear to be well made from good fabrics - but I'd never expect you guys to cheap out on materials. What fun. I just found an old pic from when I was only 40 and was shocked by how much I've changed. But 30 years makes a diff for everyone. I'm so glad you have been recognized for your work - it's well deserved.

[@arlettem.garcia6831]

Wow, great going down memory lane with you. Fabulous work, and creativity and designs. Time just flies! Thankyou

[@ARNECARLOS]

[@pamelabubeck491]

Been watching for years and have heard you talk of your beginnings, but was so nice today to actually see "the Dolly Parton dress and coat of many colors" inspired design. Also enjoyed the Japanese designs and Paris fashion show. The oversized pleated shirt/tunic with skinny pants is my absolute FAV! Particularly enjoy the Collections sketches and photos. Stunning. Your collections (the books) for Rowan are also my fav. WOW! Such an inspiring career! Thank you, thank you, thank you for a very special vlog.
