SANNA HELENA BERGER
I run TOURIST magazine and make things in Manchester and sometimes Sweden.
From below and up I am wearing a pair of black (somewhat sun bleached) shorts in sweatshirt material, they are an akward length, one popular in the early ninties (the era of which they are a bi product) which is why I have made turn ups of the ends. On the back pocket there is a screenprinted capital R. I dont know where they are from. We dug them out of my mothers back up wardrobe, she saves everything. They have drawstring in the waist and cement splatter all over since they were used to build a wall by my fiancé helping my father where we are holidaying, in a small sea side town on the coast of sweden which I can only describe as paradise on earth. Underneath I am wearing black knickers, totally standard cotton girl next door knickers, which is what I find both comfy and sexy. On my upperbody I am wearing a grey washed out tshirt with an OHM sign from India. I bought it there (for about a pound) a few years ago when I went to the very south of india to sit on a rooftop practicing yoga for 2 weeks. On top of that I have a black cardigan which (as the label tells me) is from UNIQLO, it confused me a while ago where this cardigan actually came from, I thought maybe I bought it when I was living in Tokyo, only to remember that its from the lost and found box of a bar that I do the door for. Not a single garment is spot free. from cement splatter to chocolate rice pudding from Berlin which I had the other night in bed whilst watching the new Roman Polanski film which was pretty terrible.
Other than that I am wearing my engagement ring, which is the same ring my father gave my mother as their engagement ring, saving up all his money whilst being in the army for the white gold, which my fiancé now has filed with a small diamond from england so not only is it a heritage piece but like us part english, part swedish. My skin is plenty of shades darker from the mid day swims and I also constantly wear 5 tattoos, ranging from 2 crosses, a square, 2 pieces of writing and a triangle. And my nails are scuffed with CHANEL rouge noir.
