My grandma used to wear turbans. The ones you can put on like a hat. In winter they were woollen in summer they were silk or polyester. My grandma wasn’t a hippie or dressed very flamboyantly, she wore the turbans with her regular every day clothes – jersey pants, jumper, trenchcoat. I always thought it … Continue Reading
I just came back from Paris. I went to a big fabric show there. That’s not as fancy as going to Fashion Week – no models or fashion editors or front row celebrities – but it’s crowded with fashion designers and people from the industry. Those are the people that decide what we will see … Continue Reading
An oversized double-breasted Blazer is all you need this fall. Seriously. Whatever you want to wear – wear it with a double-breasted blazer. Tight pants, loose pants, mini, maxi, midi skirts, leggings, it all works. It makes sloppy clothes look more dressy and dressy clothes cool. It stands for luxury and affluence. If you can … Continue Reading
I am big fan of fun socks. Bright colours, cute patterns, ruffles, that’s my thing. Some of you might roll their eyes now and think that I am somehow stuck in my teenage years and refusing to grow up. I can reassure you – that’s not the case (at least not entirely). But growing up … Continue Reading

If we visit a museum, we usually read the explanatory notes next to the artworks or we follow the audio tour or a museum guide. We want to understand, want to know what the artist wanted to express through his artwork. That’s in our nature: wanting to understand. ‘The Elephant Test’ is a term that … Continue Reading
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
‘Appetite for Destruction’ was the best selling album of all times in the U.S. – 18 million units sold. The band was Guns N’Roses, their notorious lead-singer was/is (they never officially split-up) Axl Rose, the man who made the bandana ‘Rock n’Roll fashion’ in the 80ties by tying his long blond spaghetti hair back with … Continue Reading
I haven’t seen Corey for more than a year. When I meet her in Amsterdam she is wearing blue and white. We are in Holland after all, home of Delft porcellaine, how could you possibly wear any other colour? But colour is not what I want to discuss in this post – it’s the jumpsuit. … 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
For quite a long time flower prints were predominantely seen on cruises, in bingo halls or around retirement homes. They were said to make their wearer look happy, youthful and lively , their main job was to divert the eye from possible problem areas, and they led their bloomy existances mostly on roomy blouses and … 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
