• Frills and Lace at Älskling

Camisoles, ruffle skirts, and lacy blouses in pretty patterns and soft fabrics hang in rows at Älskling, Swedish fashion designer Vivienne Tvilling's pastel-colored boudoir of a store on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Älskling is Swedish for "darling" and implies something sweet and romantic. And rightfully so, for Tvilling is unabashedly feminine. For almost forty years now, she has chartered her own course, regardless of shifting trends. That's my focus right now," says Tvilling. "The Älskling T-shirts have been quite a hit." Apart from Tvilling's own design, you can also find clothes by Ulf Andersson, Agneta Eckemyr, and Marika Nakk at Älskling.

There are currently about 20 automobile suppliers with Swedish roots in Michigan, and, according to [Lennart Johansson], there is room for more. "But before attempting to expand to a global market, the suppliers' products need to be established in local markets," he says. "The Swedes are inventive and competent, although they're not great at selling their products or marketing themselves, skills that Americans practice in school." However, Lennart believes that with focus and unique product solutions, Swedish suppliers will continue to be successful competitors in global markets. "Especially now that the trend is to give suppliers commissions to deliver entire technical solutions, from product development to delivery - an area where the Swedes already possess expertise," he adds.
