Fashionverdict from Nettavisen:
The fashion experts thoughts on Mette-Marits norwegian dress was ranging from boring, neutral and OK, but that she herself looked fresh (Me: No comment on the ugly shoes
). The head of the fashionweek said they were happy that she was there, that he knows that she has for several years learned about and used norwegian fashion.
On the show: Everyone is disappointed. Some thinks they had seen it before, that the show was unprofessional and that Norwegian fashion has a long way to go before it can ever compete with Paris. They need more confidence and become more professional says Kikki Sørum, Mette-Marits harshest fashion critic, she further says that if Mette-Marit should choose a working wardrobe from what was presented yesteday it would not be easy for her.
Margrethe Gilbo who helped Mette-Marit with her wardrobe in the beginning said the show was a disaster, the models hair were overstyled, they did not do their job well and that the stage partly colapsed infront of the minister and Princess was unforgivable. The music was to loud and the Models did not walk properly even if there was some good design.
Kjell Nordstrøm (friend of Ari and Märtha) said that it is not Mette-Marits fault that Norwegian fashion is not better and that the designers should go home and work harder and get better. He was also angry that his work had not been credited in the show, but he liked the styling and concept of the show.
All in all not to good.

When Mette-Marit left she said she looked forward to seeing more later this week, maybe that means that she will be on the show on Saturday where the more exclusive Norwegian designer will show their work, nothing on the agenda though.
Today she and Haakon hosts in their home a dinner for80 people with mental health problems.
Edit
Dagsavisen has a smal interview with her
"Are you particularely interested in fashiondesign?"
MM: It depends on what stage in my life Im on, when we moved I was very interested in things to the house, furniture and everyday use design. Now that Im pregnant I take and extra interest in baby designs.
"Will you attend other shows in the fashionweek"
MM: Im not sure yet, tomorrow we host a dinner for 80 people so I dont know if I will have time, but I would like to. I did see Arne & Carlos show last fashionweek also, I was very impressed it is very thought trough.
Carlos Zachariasen from Arne & Carlos says it does not matter to him what people wear, Im a designer not a fashion police he says.
