*99 Gunnar

We all love Gunnar and he obviously knows it. Or is he just suggesting? Or is it meant to be a self-fulfilling prophecy? ‘Tell them long enough and they’ll believe it…..’ Or is it just a a T-shirt with a great graphic print that plays with our viewing patterns? In any case it’s a good … Continue Reading

*98 Brigitta

Women of a certain age….. that sounds so wrong when it comes to Brigitta. Her monochrome Dandy-Look, a mix of Designer pieces, fleamarket finds, self-made jewellery and great attitude is one of a kind and certainly not what you expect of a woman who has two grown-up daughters. But do we really have to expect … Continue Reading

*97 Clara

Nothing cooler than a women in men’s clothes. That’s my opinion. I know a lot of men think different – it’s definitely not a look popular with the faint-hearted male community, that’s for sure. You don’t necessarily have to be dressed in menswear head to toe (although a men’s suit, a white shirt and a … Continue Reading

*96 Joerg

Sometimes a simple sweater tells you more about the character of its wearer than a long conversation. Take a good look at this black sweater with the cat illustration and you’ll find out a lot about Joerg: first of all it’s well made and well designed (made by Ayzit Bostan, fashion designer, artist), it’s artsy … Continue Reading

*95 Susanne

There are things that you are serious and professional and passionate about and there are things that you just love and don’t get tired of doing, although you are far from being a professional. It’s called ‘a hobby’ and you have the freedom to explore, try out new things, play around and to fail. Susanne … Continue Reading

*94 Brigitta und Clara

I didn’t know that they were mother and daughter. I came across them seperately, not knowing they were related in any way. Clara was my student for one year so I saw her regularly and came to appreciate her very individual way of dressing, a sort of cheeky mix of vintage/contemporary/punk-meets-rockabilly-style, tough and playful at … Continue Reading

*93 Bernd

After returning from my summer vacation I am pleasantly surprised by a call from Bernd telling me that he will come to see me. Bernd is a real tweed and leather man so I am quite curious to see him on a warm August day when tweed is definitely no option. Under the arcades of … Continue Reading

*92 Claire

A little story: While waiting for Claire next to the ‘English Garden’ I saw a duck with her 6 tiny little ducklings crossing the street. She had obviously hatched her offspring in a nearby garden and was heading towards the park now. I stopped the traffic so the family could cross the street, I kept … Continue Reading

*90 Susanne

How could women ever survive without leggings? How could we ever let go of them when the 80s had passed? OK, they weren’t so perfect back then, either shiny and heavily printed or baggy 100% cotton ones (in pre-lycra times). But they had vanished for nearly 20 years until they finally came back to stay. … Continue Reading

*89 Bernd

Double denim was not very popular for quite a while but with a much acclaimed comback of the denim shirt the head-to-toe-denim-look came along, too. Highly masculine it is very often associated with a sort of Marlboro-manish/cattle-herding world and therefore gives it’s wearer a certain lonesome-cowboy appeal. Denim is a workwear fabric, made to last, … Continue Reading

*88 Gunnar

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

*87 Claire

A tanktop, a sheer long printed skirt, loose hair, sunglasses. That sounds like beach, island, Ibiza, a good time. Is that a suitable style for work? It is for Claire who is smart enough not to wear flip flops along but goes for a pair of glittering cowboy bootees instead to get away from the … Continue Reading
