A bunch of long white Tulips stretch their curved stems like swan necks over a dark wooden desk, old black and white prints featuring historic english furniture spread over it. A 100 year old paisley plaid thrown carelessly over a heavy leather fauteuil, an apple on a white saucer next to a cristal carafe filled … Continue Reading
When you enter Joel Tomlin’s studio in east London you enter his very own world. It’s an almost ancient and a bit mystical world filled with small sculptures and figurines, sketches, drawings and paintings all over the place but most of all it’s a world of soft, beautiful and soothing colours. Colours that make you … Continue Reading
It’s the ability to recognize potential that makes a good designer, a vision that unfolds once you see something special. It can happen anywhere, at a fleamarket, a charity shop, a souvenir stall. Something catches your eye, pops out of the junk and reaches out for you and within splitseconds you get that picture in … 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. I am sure today he chose his clothes with extra care. It’s a fine line between ‘stylish’ and ‘dandyish’, the … Continue Reading
Every person has got a favorite silhouette. Depending on their physique and their respective preferences they usually choose their outline instictively. Some like to be an ‘A’ – accent on a narrow upper body increasing in volume on the way down. A long, tall ‘I’ is very popular, slim from head to toe, tends to … Continue Reading
London/Day 9: It’s the last day of our trip to Paris and London – we’re heading home tomorrow. We’ve bought enough shoes, browsed enough fleamarkets and and visited enough shops….hold on, something is missing….culture! Must have slipped our minds during the shopping frenzy, so immediately we set out for Saatchi Gallery which is close to … Continue Reading
Paris is wonderful. Not because it’s the city love and light and romance and fashion….etc. – no, because it’s the city of food. Great, heavy, weird food. You go to some non-descript brasserie on the corner, sit down at a tiny little table (if you are lucky enough to have a friend with you who … Continue Reading
You don’t know this man? Yes, you do. This is Dieter Meier and if you don’t recognize his face you surely remember ‘The Race’. He is a conceptual artist and musician (Yellow), video director and most certainly a gentleman of great style. First of all, he’s got good hair – ‘good genes’ you may rightly … Continue Reading
How do you recognize an artist? A little bit of color smudged on the clothes is a hint – but it might as well be somebody painting his flat. A studio hellolivingston.com is also a clue, but then, who hasn’t got a studio? Photographers, all kinds of designers…. Maybe it’s passion and persistence, the constant … Continue Reading
Joerg is wearing a deerhunter’s jacket. Sounds a bit unbelievable as neon orange worn in the green woods is not exactly considered protective mimicry – but it’s true. The important part is the busy leave print on the jacket, that’s what gets a deer fooled – they don’t care about the color. It’s about time … Continue Reading
I get a text message from Claire : ‘ Will get new hair tomorrow – do you want to meet me?’ I sure do! She is a bit secretive about it just lets me know that a little bit of pink will be involved. I am excited. And when I first see her coming towards … Continue Reading
I see Susanne before I really see her. A little pink spot in front of the all-grey facade of the museum – that’s unmistakably Susanne. The moment I see her standing there I get flashbacks of an old 50s movie, a romantic winter comedy with Doris Day and I half expect to see a pair … Continue Reading
