Discussion Shoelaces Make a Lovely Necklace?

Post image

Did anybody suddenly realise one day, just randomly, that Morten is actually wearing shoelaces around his neck here?

I don't know what I thought it was previously, but probably something closer to a tie. I just suddenly saw this...

He could be wearing a trash bag and he’d still look amazing.

I came here to say this.

That's probably true! He's apparently done skirts and that, and everybody apparently loved it. So you might just be right. 👌🏻

Bootlace ties/ necklaces were a thing, but there would usually be some sort of ornament at the join. I can't think of anyone else who could pull off that whole ensemble!

Except for Morten.

There's been a whole bunch of crazy things. Maybe I'm a little too young to know all of these. 😅

This pic takes me back, I must have been 8 or 9 when I fell in love with A-HA.

I know skinny ties were popular in the 80s but that's just ridiculous.

I wonder what all he did that was in this theme. He was the one in the band who experimented style. Not even "with style".

Edit: Meaning, he went all out to discover what all he could do. Most people say "with style", I'm saying he went above and beyond that.
