How can you possible wear sparkling pants if you are a straight man (and don’t work in showbiz)? You definitely can, if you are Gunnar and you pick a very subtle sparkle in a denim blue, you chose a simple slim (not tight!) cut and you wear it with the typical grandpa ensemble – felt … Continue Reading
Another great portrait of Zandra Rhodes shot by my friend Dominik (thank you!) at her her house. To me she seems like an exotic flower with the sole purpose of bringing color and beauty into our world. You have to admit that even if hers is not your style at all and you are actually … Continue Reading
London/Night 8: After a long, exhausting, yet inspiring day of shopping in London we’ve seen most of our favorites like Liberty and Dover Street Market and head straight to sketch for food. Strange place, strange interior, strange food. So far I had only been to the cute Tea-Room – and maybe it’s better to stick … Continue Reading
Once again I meet a ‘new’ Claire, less playful and girly but more professionial this time. We meet at AMD, where she studies fashion journalism and I am surprised that inspite of her very youthful face she looks more like a young professor than a student. With a clean hairdo and a sleek silhouette, no … Continue Reading
I have a family. The family lives in London and consists of Feli, artist of German-Norwegian descent, Joel, artist and Englishman and their sons Eoban and Cedric, schoolboys and German-Norwegian Englishmen. All of them are extraordinary characters. Both Feli and Joel have a very personal way of dressing, a style that mixes the past, the … Continue Reading
Susanne knitted a sculpture. With her self-made ‘Strickliesl‘ she created a piece of art. Wearing a scarf like this you don’t really have to care about the rest of your outfit. That’s fashion and craftsmanship at it’s most beautiful – interesting, eye-catching, inspiring, useful. Like long tentacles the scarf wraps itself around her shoulders and … Continue Reading
It’s always fun to meet Joerg – his relaxed manner rubs off on you instantly. It’s also very entertaining to be around him as he makes you see so much more. Joerg doesn’t miss a thing. A beautiful car, a pink spot, a little button, he observes and ‘stores’ everything (best seen in his fabulous … Continue Reading
In a dimly lit café on a cold January evening I meet Claire and again I am intrigued by her versatililiy. With her hair tied in a classic bun and her norwegian cardigan there is something almost 50s about her. A chunky metal necklace interferes with this sweet girliness though and brings a certain interesting … Continue Reading
It’s tough to be a man. At least fashionwise it is, because for a man it is a very thin line between ‘too much’ and ‘not enough’. A woman can pile on accessories and still look classy, whereas a man is easily considered ‘unmanly’ or ‘dandyish’ once he choses color, print or extravagant accessories. That’s … Continue Reading
London/Night 7: How to dress for a fab night out? A little bit of drama is neccesary, a hint of eccentricity, NOT practical (but not entirely uncomfortable either), a little chic, a little sexy, a little colour, a dash of gold – et voilà: a perfect outfit for having your picture taken in the badly … Continue Reading
‘I am not a Terrorist’ – that’s the message on dame Vivienne Westwood’s necklace. Some people might feel irritated or even threatened by her, their viewing habits may be disturbed, but Vivienne Westwood certainly doesn’t want her fashion to be terrorizing, she rather created her very own aesthetics, mixing past with presence, tradition with non-conformism. … Continue Reading
I can read Susanne’s clothes. More than any of my other models she lets me see how she feels by the way she dresses. It’s a language and a signal to the world, inviting or protecting. We meet at the river Isar and Susanne is dressed all in black. Basically, all you can see is … Continue Reading
