+ Little Miss Sailor
This young one shot out of nowhere, dashing up onto the docks, intent on swinging her legs out over the water. Stripy shirt, a dark cardy, cuffed shorts, and red sneakers – she’s doesn’t even have to TRY sporting the look. With such a pervasive sailing culture, I suspect she even knows her way around...
+ Eşarplar of Istanbul
Even within structures of very specific dress regulations, these Turkish ladies in Istanbul express themselves in style with the patterning of their eşarplar.
+ MBFW Berlin MICHAEL SONTAG
For the MICHAEL SONTAG show, I managed to borrow a few images here from Berlin-based fashion photographer Scott Elliott making an occasional appearance this season for a few shows. The catwalk is unusually black and the red spot lights give a dramatic boost to Sontag’s collection paired with boots that remind of 17th century French...
+ MBFW Berlin VLADIMIR KARALEEV
By 18h for the VLADIMIR KARALEEV show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin, the hour finds most of us exhausted from the past four days of photographing, writing, and socialising (people…ugh!). But yet again, I squeeze in between some massive lenses on the Media Riser and as the show begins, am rewarded for not calling it...
+ MBFW Berlin ISSEVER BAHRI
The stress of an early morning rush to slip last minute into Cimen and Derya’s ISSEVER BAHRI show, slowly dissipates with the taste of coffee from the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week lounge bar. Art Director Suvi Haering and I bump into model and stylist Ella Plevin and the consensus is to transition into prosecco. We put...
+ MBFW Berlin MARCEL OSTERTAG
Blues and greens get mixed up with purple and tartan. But the obvious highlight is the finale. To the roaring clap and grins of the crowd, OSTERTAG himself steps forward onto the catwalk, not just for a head tilt bow, but as part of his own show. Using himself as a model, he prances up...
+ MBFW Berlin HOLY GHOST
Finally, a team – the three “spirits” behind Holy Ghost being Sedina Halilovic, Ivana Bogicevic and Jelena Radovanovic – with the guts to embrace the classics. The trio takes us back in time with classy style. In the dramatically dim spotlight, a pushed hotel dolly feature a red Fedora hat cocked sideways atop a bow-tie...
+ MBFW Berlin A DEGREE FAHRENHEIT
From roots at Marc Jacobs and Jen Kao, Yu Amatsu – the man behind A DEGREE FAHRENHEIT – exhibits his A/W 2013/14 collection at MBFW Berlin worn not only by the wrinkle-fearing fresh blooded models, but two older ladies, equally stunning in Amatsu’s timeless silhouettes.
+ MBFW Berlin DIMITRI
Dimitri – this designer constructs. The necessity of a bag to compliment an outfit, the addition of fur around the neckline to bring out a monotone piece, or the expression of a pattern needing only itself, a long pea to visually elongate the legs, or allowing elegantly simple strap shoes to do the work.
+ MBFW Berlin PERRETSCHAAD
I’ve known Tutia and Johanna, professionally and as friends, for roughly two years now. Long enough to understand their runways to be a reflection of themselves, a play of two complimenting personalities – Tutia’s audible bursts of giggly laughter and Johanna’s bright smiles, or the former’s chaotic worktable versus the later’s tidy one. And in...
+ MBFW Berlin
MBFW starts again tomorrow, Jan 15th lasting for four action packed days until the 18th. The photo pass has been acquired and we’ll see you from the MBFW Berlin Fashion Tent starting tomorrow morning with the Hien Le show. Forecast predict a bit of sunshine but with a high of -3 and a low of...
+ Patterns, Mitte
Shot just before she went out the door but what do you make of the coat+cowhide bag+coloured scarf? Opinions? Comment below!
