Morten Harket
 
Hey boys, keep cool! It will not be easy for you. Morten is back.
Yes, the one, whom you wished was far far away, as he attacked the charts in the middle of the 80's with his band a-ha. The girls got an enraptured facial expression when the mega-song "Take on Me" started and their horse posters were covered over with life-size Harket posters. Now, the 43 year old Norwegian guy celebrates a great comeback with the album "Lifelines".
 
If you sit in front of him, you feel what is so facinating about him, what makes cool business women shout "marry me". It is the "blue" of his eyes which looks so gentle and sensitive. It is the unique calmness, which he exudes. You feel: this man feels well, where he is and how he is in the moment. And in his outfit too: old jeans and casual T-shirt.
 
 - Is this your favourite style?
 
Absolutely. These jeans I wear very often. They are by BSA . And I love T-shirts and tank-tops - but they have to be tight.
 
 - You are definately no type for suits then?
 
Not alot. I have only five in my cupboard. I wear them once in a year.
 
 - Do you have a favourite (clothes) item that carries you through life?
 
The thing I am thinking of is my car. I have driven a Mercedes M-Class for many years.
 
 - Sorry, I meant clothes or assessories....
 
My old diving watch by Citizen. And my long sleeved shirt by Marco Polo. I have had it since 1985. It is dark blue and the company label letters are orange.  When I am in the Maldives, diving, I wear it night and day.
 
 - Isn't that monotonous?
 
No, only comfortable!

 - Who is your favourite designer?
 
A German. His name is Oliver Kresse and he makes the outfits for my shows. He has a very good eye for body shape. He knows how to show the proportion of everyone in a flattering way. He also makes clothes for my private life. At the moment I am waiting for a pair of dark artificial leather trousers.
 
 - Do you have such an individual style in body care?
 
I only use soap - totally puristic.
 
 - No purfumes?
 
Sure, but no favourites. I choose the purfume thats fits to the women that I will meet.   
 
 - What does a woman have to wear if she wants to get your attention?
 
Does she have to wear anything? (laughing) Ok, we are speaking about the cold season. I like women who wear simple clothes. I don't like it if she changes her style with overdressed designer clothes.
 
 - High-heels or sneakers?
 
Sneakers. Shoes have to be comfortable. This is meant for men and women! These silver sports shoes I wear ofetn. They are from Reebok.   
 
 - Do you also wear them if you want to make a good impression on a first date?
 
Sure. Wool socks and a smile! No, for sure. I mean if you want to please someone the clothes aren't important. The charissma is important!
 
 - You are divorced from your wife, Camilla, the mother of your three children. Do you have a relationship at the moment? 
 
Yes. And imagine, I have decided on a girl again!
