This picture was taken in L.A. where Corey lives. I wish I could say that I took that picture because that would mean that I must have been there – but unfortunately I was not. Usually I take all my models’ pictures myself, but for once I made an exception because : 1. L.A. is … Continue Reading
The way the Aga Tomlins are dressed is hard to describe. It could easily be mistaken for a ‘retro’ sort of look, the trendy ‘I-like-to-buy- my-stuff-in-a-vintage-store’-style. But take a closer look: There is a little bit of 70s, a hint of ‘little house in the prairie’, a spoonful of turn of the century, a bit … Continue Reading

Being well dressed is simple. You just need a few classy pieces, you throw them together casually and there you go. Unfortunately it’s not that easy.

T-shirt, leggings, cardigan, sneakers, tote bag – sounds like a ‘just-heading-to-pilates-class’ – kind of outfit. Two little orange buttons make the difference though. And when those little orange buttons correspond with a lobster colored pair of leggings buttoned along the calves , the sneakers have a subtle 90s platform sole and your tote back is … Continue Reading
If I wasn’t sure that I was sitting on a bench in Munich’s beautiful rosegarden I would be tempted to think I was in Hawaii when I see Joerg coming my way. There is something very surfer-ish and hippie-esque about him. Maybe it’s the scarf, that looks like a vest with it’s psychedelic print and … Continue Reading
Bernd leads me into the courtyard of his building, a secluded little cosmos, a secret garden in the middle of metropolitan Berlin. He fits perfectly into this forgotten piece of nature that makes you forget time and place. I start thinking of Karlheinz Weinberger and his photographs of teen rebels in the 50s and 60s. … Continue Reading

It’s raining in Paris, when it should be sunny and springlike instead. It is my last day in Paris and we have a lot on our list. Fleamarket at Porte de Clignancourt – expensive but lots of inspiration (and lots of Americans) – is first. We spend a few hours at the fleamarket, the drizzle … Continue Reading

There was a time in the 90s when backpacks were hugely popular and when the trend peaked even grown women coud be spotted carrying tiny … Continue Reading
It’s a cool and rainy morning in Berlin. Every time I visit Berlin it’s like that, cool and rainy – if I’m lucky. I’ve been told that Berlin is great when the sun is shining, people are out in the streets and you feel the energy, the city is buzzing….that’s what they keep on telling … Continue Reading
