A hat like that is a symbol. A symbol for for freedom, solitude, endless horizon – a man and his boat. But it might as well symbolize fraternity, archaic customs and practise, endless hours in fusty libraries – a student’s life back in the olden days. It can also stand for an unconvential, artistic mind, … Continue Reading
Casually sitting on a windowsill in a dark stairway, looking almost monochrome, Gunnar has a little bit of a ‘modern day Don Corleone meets late Orson Welles‘ air about him – I start hearing the ‘Third Man’ theme somewhere and begin to wonder if there are any escape ways in the building….but he wouldn’t be … Continue Reading
Backpacks are very practical. You have your hands free to ride your bike, read a map, hold your nordic walking poles…but can a backpack also be a serious fashion accessory? There was a time in the 90s when backpacks were hugely popular and when the trend peaked even grown women coud be spotted carrying tiny … Continue Reading
Gunnar is dressed for a special occasion. This evening he (aka Styleclicker) will be center of attention as tonight will be the first screening of his video – a cooperation with fashion designer Ayzit Bostan.

Sooner or later every true hat-lover will end up with a real Borsalino. This all-time classic came into Gunnar’s life on his birthday and works perfectly with his clasic-progressive-orthodox-vintage style. Classic – because he still wears the classic menswear components, progressive – because the proportions are unusual (slim pants and Doc Martens combined with a … Continue Reading
Almost like shot in black and white Gunnar’s outfit relies on a very reduced grey to black color range. This could be mistaken for a lack of ambition: black, grey and a classic combination of shoes, pants, V-neck sweater, hat and glasses – can’t go wrong with that. Had he just chosen those pants, shoes … Continue Reading
Gunnar and I have just recently met but it was quite obvious that he is a person who knows very well what he likes and what suits him. His look seems very classic at first: hat, sweater, chinos, oxfords. The way he combines those elements though shows a very distinct sense for proportion and detail. … Continue Reading
