Introducing our new collaboration! Face of the Month with:
FACE OF THE MONTH
At the end of every month GMS will pick a “Face of the month” from the models on our site. This will be someone that we think stands out. What makes them stand out could be uniqueness, coolness, attitude or perhaps great personal charisma. The height and size is of no consequence.

This project was born out of our mutual desire to take the bold, scary, courageous (and perhaps outrageous) step to abundance and living our dreams!

In celebration of my daughter’s birthday, I will share with you some amazing pages from her 1997 journal (age 12). They certainly illustrate the shape of things to come. Fashion, events, life is planned and analyzed and celebrated. Anna is now founder and editor-in-chief of the online fashion magazine/blog: THE SOCIAL LIFE– where fashion, events, life is planned and analyzed and celebrated. She was born for this!!!
My daughter, Anna, eats, sleeps, breathes, devours, obsesses, demands, wants and needs FASHION. I see the spirits of her Swedish female ancestors carrying on through her.
My great grandmother, Brita Bergström, was obsessed with the latest fashion trends of her time but having 12 children and little money she had to improvise. Brita would look in store windows, memorize the style and material, head home and weave the textiles on her large loom and sew the clothing for her kids. The children were always stylish and were the only kids in their school to have gym strips.
My grandmother, Stina Bergström (Orwald), read Vogue religiously and was reknowned in her small home town of Hudiksvall for her beauty, style and humble personality. Anna’s over-the-top personality likens my great Aunt, Helga Bergström, who was fiercely independent and outspoken. She never married and loved every minute of her single fiesty life!
Anna's great grandmother, Stina Bergström
My mother, Karin Orwald (Thorsen), Anna’s grandmother AKA “Mormor,” was ALWAYS stylish and so clean and fresh, with a lovely air of Estée Lauder floating around her. She taught Anna the importance of the crisp white shirt and the essential accessory- the shoulder pad.
These 2 incredible young women share with the world their passion for the art of fashion.
But what they TEACH ME is that fashion is truly about:
• SELF-CONFIDENCE!
• SELF-WORTH!
• SELF-DECLARATION!
• SHOULDERS BACK!
