Some clothes have a story. Some don’t. Some irritate you and make you wonder. Irritation can be negative and disturbing, something out of the ordinary that bothers you. But it can also be refreshing, can make you stop, think and maybe even smile. If you see someone wearing a leather hat with a handle-like thing … Continue Reading
Let’s talk about food. But first about clothes. You know why I am dressed up like this on the lake Tegernsee shore? All late 70s glam, tinted sunglasses? Because I am about to do something truly glamourous and luxurious. I am going to have a Haute Cuisine lunch. We’re talking about the real thing. ***. … Continue Reading
When it’s snowing you have two choices. Go colour and fight the white or blend in, stay monochrome and create a b/w picture. Shades of Grey, a hat, a turned-up collar, et voilá, Gunnar looks like Harry Lime from ‘The third man’. If he starts hanging out in dark alleyways or in the canalization the … Continue Reading
Dare to be glamourous! It’s so worth it. Going out on a regular old day looking like a movie star will definitely brighten up your day. And not only yours. When I say ‘movie star’ I am talking about the glam days (not the sweat pants/ beanies/ coffe-cup actors – nothing wrong with it, just … Continue Reading
I didn’t know what I was expecting when I picked up Dirk at his workspace for our first photo shoot. I had been to a blacksmith’s shop before – a functional place with heavy machinery and heaps of metal lying around. This one was a different experience.

But I am surrounded by Christmas critics, who despise the collective mulled wine daze and the whole world being all tinsel and glitter. I do understand them and I partly agree – but I still cannot fully accept it. What’s wrong with … Continue Reading
Opposites attract. White likes Black. Salt likes pepper. But those two are not meant to be blended, they lead their seperate lives in more or less charming shakers on our kitchen shelves and only ever unite to convert edibles from raw ingredients into a savoury meal. Not anymore. They’ve left their single days behind and … Continue Reading
What I most like about Grace Jones is that she never tried to please. Not with her music and even less with her style. In an aera of bad perms, ruffles and candy colours she was a female terminator, a sculpture of of shiny ebony, full of confidence and a ‘who the fuck cares what … Continue Reading
You cannot get around them this fall: Culottes. Even if you tried to ignore them throughout the last few seasons you have to face reality now. Culottes have landed on our high street. And I like it – obviously. I like the masculinity within this feminine style. Of course you can wear culottes all 70s … Continue Reading
You have got no time to get dressed in the morning, your schedule is full and there is a lot of running around to do. You STILL want to look half-way decent and your legs have a nice shape? I have some fashion advice for you: Throw on a pair of black leggings, some sneakers, … Continue Reading
