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
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
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
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
