and here is the translation:

Called, at the seams: Alexander Bard
The man with the moustache has BWO on the famous ice and launches his latest musical project today. Before that, he took time, however, to be called from the outside in, and deliver the wisdom - and oneliners! - On a long, long list.


What are you doing right now?

- Mixes Gravitonas debut album coming out this fall.



Describe your fashion style in three words.

- Ingenious, obstinate and uncompromising.



What is your biggest fashion madness?

- The large and small heads is man's most important body parts. So, never fribble on the hats and shorts!



When you most ashamed of your vanity?

- Never. Narcissism is a necessity for success both as a musician and writer and shame are not at all my thing.



Where is your favorite clothes?

- Tokyo, by far - the city is best for any type of shopping.



Which shop you can not put your foot in?

- Chain stores and other shops with a trademark, where every store is identical to the next. If I do not want to look like anyone, why should I go shopping in a store that is completely impersonal?



What are you most pleased with about your appearance?

- The character. You can set me among a hundred faces and I'm still the one you remember. Do not forget that beauty is not very important in itself - respect is both more important and more sexually viable.



If you were a garment, which would you be?

- Pants. And now that everyone else has bought shorts with long socks (Dries van Noten 2010, hello?) I skip the shorts of course. It is time for men to wear black and Japanese again - surf clothing is stone dead.



What is your favorite accessory?

- Wallet.



When did you last feel wrong dressed ?

- I dress intentionally wrong every day. The vagabondlook is excellent in everyday life, because it is so aggressive that it keeps unwanted people away and is also sexy inviting. Who does not want to sleep with a guy who walks into the 7Eleven in underwear and fucktousle ?



Which fashion express rip you most?

- Quality is never out of fashion.



Name a movie that changed your life.

Visually? Mishima, of course - Japanese style orgy of Westerners. David Lynch's films are also very right again 2010.



What is the best book you've read?

- Friedrich Nietzsche's Den glada vetenskapen. Nietzsche was not only the smartest motherfucker who survived - just like all smart men, he was also a style icon.



Name a concert that you wish you had seen.

- Scandal premiere of Stravinsky's Våroffer. 1910s was a dramatic decade. And damn nice!



How much you will leave the tip in a restaurant?

- It depends on which country you are in. In the U.S. we often leave 20% tip, in Sweden you round up and in Germany and Japan, of course, leave no tip at all because this is regarded as an insult to staff. The last is of course the most sympathetic, simply for self-respect is a much more beautiful "than greed or small-mindedness.



Do you take clothesadvice from your girlfriend or your mom?

- I will be happy to have clothesadvice from my guy, but definitely not from my mom. Women do not understand men's clothing. They always try to sissy men too much. Gravitonas has only male stylists. And absolutely no hair care products.



Once and for all, who is the world's best-dressed man?

- Lenin was the world's best-dressed man, but unattainable by style icon. For the ordinary mortal men Malcolm McLaren will be deeply missed.
