In From Sweden: Behind the Scenes at the Elle Awards in Stockholm

At Kanon we're lucky enough to hang out with some pretty creative visionaries. From DJs to designers, Swedes to Americans, we've got a crew that's insanely good at doing things their own way. When we hosted the Elle Awards in Sweden earlier this month, we thought it would be a great opportunity to showcase the creative processes of two international innovators (with two very different roles), and the work that goes into an awards show this massive. We followed internationally acclaimed Swedish stylist, Robert Rydberg, and Queens-born bartender Robert Radovic who now manages the bar at Stockholm's Nobis Hotel, as they prepped for the event.

To give you a behind the scenes look like you've never seen before, we enlisted the help of some up-and-comers from Hyper Island, an international hub for creative professionals, as well as Another Agency, who gave us their take on each Robert. Check out the film to watch these creative minds at work--and try to see if you can spot Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, ABBA rocker Agneta Fältskog, and Swedish pop star Agnes in the mix.

In From Sweden: Make These Specially Crafted Libations from the Elle Awards
Tea Re-Fashioned
Since we're so into awards these days, we decided to attend The Elle Awards at the Grand Hotel Stockholm--a massive fashion awards show in Sweden. And since acknowledgements were given to the best designers, photographers and stylists who have contributed to the fashion industry, both in Sweden and internationally, we knew we had to go all out with the cocktails. There's something about being in our homeland that gets us really inspired. Not only are these cocktails delicious, and believe us, we "sampled" enough to know that they are, they also look pretty amazing. So whip out your recipe binders and file these in the "most delicious" category. Your next party will be exponentially more successful (read: tipsy) with them on hand.

In From Sweden: The Elle Awards
Anders Timell
Starting the new year with a kick-ass party is pretty much the only way we do it around here, and just last week, we provided the libations (and let's be honest, the fun) for The Elle Awards in Sweden. As the first international awards hosted by the magazine, it brought out 800 of the biggest fashion names in Sweden as well as international guests – including supermodel Caroline Winberg and singer Elin Lanto just to a name a couple.

If you've ever been to the Grand Hotel Stockholm, you know the venue is breathtaking with glitzy chandeliers and gilded walls surrounding you at every turn, which is why we had to ensure the caliber of cocktails were unmatched for the night's event. Thus, guests were treated to four different drinks crafted exclusively for the Elle soiree – and we must say, they turned out pretty darn delicious. Think strawberries, basil and vodka in a jar – but that's just a small taste (for full recipes click here). Check out all the winners from the night below and browse through our favorite pictures from the event in the slide show.
