My last Barcelona picture is dedicated to Blixa Bargeld. He rushed past me just 10 minutes after this picture was taken. Black suit, black shirt, full stage make-up, not as skinny as I remembered him from the old days at ‘Einstuerzende Neubauten’ or ‘Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds’. But still looking pretty handsome. In … Continue Reading
Readers, let me give you one good fashion advice: Buy fancy-coloured shoes. If you have a fashion affinity but lack a bit of fantasy or you don’t have the time to think about your wardrobe too much or your work doesn’t allow you to dress too flamboyantly (but you still want to be detected as … Continue Reading
First day in Barcelona, the day of my birthday. We took those fancy pictures in the hallway and the elevator of our fancy hotel right before we went out to have dinner in a fancy barcelonian restaurant. Too much ‘fancy’ for your taste? I understand, but ‘fancy’ doesn’t have to mean just trendy and overpriced.’Fancy’ … Continue Reading
Never say never. If somebody had told me a few years back that I would wear a calf length pleated polyester skirt with elastic waistband and a beige millefleur print I would have rolled on the floor with laughter. No way, pal! Those were the kind of skirts we did on special demand for our … Continue Reading
I don’t know if you have noticed – I’ve changed my hairstyle. Bye-bye catweazle-ish shag, welcome pageboy! The response was quite diverse – from ‘oh, you’ve cut your hair…….’ and ‘wow, you look so different’ to ‘I just don’t like short hair’. It was a little bit unsettling. I did get positive feedback as well … Continue Reading
I promised I would do the ‘dressing up for christmas’ tutorial all month long – so here we go. Before we start going into details we have to put one thing straight: Is it really necessary to dress up for a christmas party? Can’t we just come as we are, drink a few mugs of … Continue Reading
You might have guessed it – it’s Octoberfest time again. And to put one thing straight: I am not paid by the Bavarian Tourism Association to be an ambassador for Bavarian culture. I am simply a huge fan of Bavarian costumes. So every year on the first sunday of Munich’s Octoberfest from around 9 a.m. … Continue Reading
My models and I take a much needed summer break and we see you again in September! Enjoy the summer and don’t forget to look fabulous. (Special thanks to my dear Frank who took the pictures and made me look like a 70s muse on a spiritual journey to the inner energy.) (I also want … Continue Reading
What do you wear when it’s really, I mean REALLY hot outside? I am not talking about beachwear, I am talking about being dressed properly. Wearing too little can be inappropriate, wearing too much can be very uncomfortable when it’s scorching hot. My advice is: don’t go for tight and tiny, go for big and … Continue Reading
We will continue to pretend it’s springtime. I am doing my best although this morning when I woke up the world was white again. ‘White’ as in ‘snow’. Makes my task a bit harder – but not impossible. I have to leave the house eventually but since I refuse to go back to the woollen … Continue Reading
If you get one get a good one. Nothing worse than a cheap Trenchcoat. I don’t want to sound snobbish ( I do like some cheap trash!) but when it comes to classics it HAS to be the real thing. When the time came that I felt adult enough I treated myself to a classic … Continue Reading
100 posts – time to introduce myself properly. Perfect timing as it’s my favorite season, Bavaria’s ‘fifth season’, it’s Octoberfest time and I love it. Not (only) because of drinking and rollercoasters but because it’s the time of the year when you can wear traditional bavarian clothing without feeling dressed up. As much as I … Continue Reading
