LUXE Stockholm's Leggy Lovely in Chief

You know how essential LUXE’s hyper-opinionated resident editors are in putting together our city guides, but who are they, and what does it take to be one? Well, dear hearts, to celebrate the launch of our new LUXE Stockholm guide, we’re finally shining the spotlight on them. First up, meet Celia Ingesson, the driving authority on where to sleep, eat and shop and what to do in Stockholm. After 16 years as buyer and designer for mega retailer H&M, this Leggy Lovely now writes about fashion and trends, as well as running Scandinavian Press Room, an independent PR agency repping hot brands like Sonia by Sonia Rykiel, Vanessa Bruno, and a host of homegrown Swedish names. Ever the jetsetter, Celia’s work frequently takes her to major fashion cities like Paris, London and NYC, so you know you can trust her opinion on what smart travellers like yourselves look for. In this interview, Celia shares her own personal picks for Stockholm, her essential addresses, and some surprising discoveries while researching for the guide.
