Blogger, stylists and entrepreneur

You expect a high profile fashionista to be a bit of a diva, but Trine enters the room with a positive attitude, a curious outlook and a genuine interest in the world around her.

Trine is best known in the Danish blogosphere as a dedicated fashion blogger. But there is more to her than posting for the sake of showing off her outfits. In fact, meeting Trine, you quickly get the sense that behind the fashionista exterior beats the heart of a driven business woman. Trine explains:

"I started my first company at 19. I quickly found out that I was probably too impatient to go into classic creative traits, and journalism in the original sense did not appeal much to me either, so blogging seemed like a good way to combine the two and create something of my own. I thrive on creating things and driving business forward."

While Trine's choice in music isn't necessarily reflected in her wardrobe, there are certain elements that may well be attributed to the type of music that dominates her playlists:

Musicians

It shines through immediately that Esben and Pernille, together simply Rangleklods, are used to playing off each other’s energy. They don’t finish each other’s sentences, but rather build on them, all the time adding different perspectives to the conversation.

Asked about their genre of music and influences, Rangleklods are crystal clear:

Having enjoyed underground success in Denmark for some time, other countries are quickly realizing that the duo has potential. Germany, France, Spain and Italy as well as most of eastern Europe have welcome the duo with open arms.

Part of the success can be contributed to the dedication to craftsmanship that Rangleklods posses. And great acoustic craftsmanship also demands something of the audience. Front man Esben knows exactly how they feel. In his own words, "Great Sound is positively addictive!"

Stylist and principal dancer

Kristoffer stands out in the crowd. From the second he enters the room you feel his presence. He moves in front the camera like he was born to do it, and quickly creates a certain vibe in the room.

"Music plays an enormous part of my life. Having been a principal dancer at the Royal Danish Ballet, music has always been with me. It carries so much emotion. I mean, when performing you sometimes convey an entire life in the matter of an evening. From cradle to grave. That is laborious, but also extremely interesting. I have felt truly moved and privileged being able to express myself artistically to music."

Kristoffer is intrigued with the business side of fashion, and though his work as a stylist gives him a great creative outlet, he also enjoys the combination of creativity and measurable results that he gets from bringing sales into the mix. The combination gives his professional life a dynamic quality he truly enjoys.

While classically trained, Kristoffer enjoys all kinds of music. "To me, music is life itself. That may sound cliché, but

DJ, blogger and PR professional

Coordinated from head to toe, sporting crisp, white Nikes from 2004, Mads Emil leaves nothing to chance when it comes to appearance. Even the tattoos on his arms - a Tupac quote on one arm and a Biggie quote on the other, were done by artists that actually did work for the two hip hop giants.

Mads Emil has thrown himself in a multitude of disciplines, all of which tie back to a life-long devotion to his true passion, the hip hop community. In his own words:

"I've always been into Hip Hop. Since way before it went as mainstream as it is today. Most people don’t know this about me, but I actually listen to all kinds of music, depending on my mood and on the situation, but hip hop and Soul is the nearest and dearest to my heart.”

Mads Emil runs the wildly popular Creolbrothers.com with his brother Kriss, an art director working out of LA. The blog serves up a balanced mix of posts about art and advertising - as provided by Kriss - and music and fashion, with a particular bias towards sneakers - as provided by Mads Emil. Mads Emil explains:
