+ 3éme, Paris
This summer may be rain in Paris but that’s not stopping this monsieur from flashing bright colours at Merci Café off boulevard Beaumarchais.
+ 4éme, Paris
You would assume she’s reading… But oh no, she was definitely there to be seen. Wearing a startling orange-red coat – Jil Sander to be suspected – seated front row along rue Saint-Antoine, this young lady never turned a single page, her eyes hawked on the passing stream of Parisians. As people-watching is a national...
+ Paris Streets
Who knows where she got her 3/4 trench. But billowing behind her like a batman cape just outside Cafe Charlot, it looks “gangstah” with her platforms detailed in gold.
+ BMW R90S
Like a blitzkrieg assault, the notoriety of the BMW R90s – introduced in 1973 and popularised through 1976 – blazed across the world at heightened speeds. Even today on the streets of Paris, the R90s in matte black finish and sporting the single headlamp pull double-takes from passerby.

On a rainy depressive drizzly day flooded with black-attired Parisians, Sibiski walks up in a fur hat, a...
+ the kooples
Chances are, Berlin hasn’t heard of the fashion house The Kooples. That’s because it’s a Parisian house and thereby doesn’t exist in Germany. Imagine that a fashion designer had the specific intent of creating collections specifically for architects: clothes in blacks, whites, shades of grays, blues, and muted reds. This franco-british fashion name collaborates with...
+ two years ago
Two years ago, December saw me in a 13 square metre attic flat at 54-56 rue Charlot. I had to climb five flights of stairs after which I then ascended a final flight of cramped treads into my Parisian flat, the smallest of three vacation flats owned and rented out by a homosexual couple. When...
