I love working in my industry because….
I love fashion, I have always loved dressing up and expressing myself through trough my creativity. Whether that be trough paintings or clothes – its all a creative expression. And I have been part of the fashion industry my entire working career, so I really feel at home in it. Fashion sometimes has a bad rep – but for me it is a really lovely female led industry, where women really support women.
I’m best known for…
My high Quality , minimalistic shapes with minimalistic colours and prints on luxurious silks. I create show stopping gowns that enhances the wearers beauty and let them shine
My biggest achievement to date is…
Building my brand from nothing alone, without really knowing much about business. It’s been a long and rocky road – but I am so proud of what I have achieved so far. It’s important to actually recognise how far you have come from where you started, instead of always looking towards your next goal.
The current wedding trends I’m loving are…
Wearing what you want to wear regardless of colour or style, I love when brides / people aren’t afraid to modernize old traditions. Bring them up to this century. Why not get married in a red slip dress ? Or a short Revenge Dress? You do YOU.

For wedding guest dresses, my favourite looks from the collection are…
The Cannes Do is my original wedding guest dress – originally created for an effortless black tie wedding look. If you are looking for something more covered yet feminine – The Prim One is a true favourite . I am also super excited about my brand new just dropped Siren slip dress – this will for sure be my new go to.
For a bride coming to me I adore the following pieces because….
For me The Goddess is ultimate chic show stopper, anyone wearing The Goddess will feel like one – guaranteed.
My favourite place in the world to skip the crowds is…
Norway – well Kristiansand to be specific, it’s where I was born and bred until I was 18. It is so peaceful and the way of life is really slow and healing for me when I go back. I couldn’t live there as I am too much of an explorer. But it is the perfect place to go to recharge.
The best person to follow on Instagram for big-day inspo is…
I don’t know … just follow your fav style crushes, fashion brands and flower shops etc.
And finally, what’s next for Valle&Vik…
We just launched our latest Starlet collection – my favourite to date. It’s a very considered collection – that is bringing back glamour to your everyday wardrobe. I am also dropping two collections in the spring. One is our new organic linen line – which will be your live in summer collection. And our SS22 collection will be a real celebration of life and love.
