+ 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 Have a Laugh
LAUGH - (verb) To express certain emotions, especially mirth or delight, by a series of spontaneous, usually unarticulated sounds often accompanied by corresponding facial and bodily movements. To see, and more importantly to BE seen – seems to be the theme for those attending MBFW Berlin, more of a party than a serious intake of...
+ MBFW Berlin LENA HOSCHEK
Exiting HIEN-LE’s soft-toned collection gliding toward the rack of photographers, I dive into SISSI GOETZE’s studio exhibition. Shirts hold a lovely detail with ties sliding through fabric tie-bars. The drape is soft and round without much complications but winged caps, cuffed trousers revealing ankles, and small layering details add the touch of finesse. But the...
+ Gauging Instruments
Every so often, I come across a watch that takes my breathe away. Say what you want, you know it’s true as well. That’s why “the watch” is on your wrist…or you wish it were. So I scrambled for my camera when Jon Kleinhample – the wood loving maniac behind LMBRJK – sauntered out of...
+ 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...
+ Nude Espresso, London
A reddish-brunette with tightly swept back hair sits dead centre on the long leather bench. NO, this is not about chattin her up! Her one hand holds a red felt pen. With the other, she balances her cup of double espresso and a packet of A4 editorial images. Occasionally, her left eyebrow slightly arches before...
+ Time Travel, Soho London
Every once in a while, one comes across a scenario that rewinds the clock several decades at a time. Amongst the hipsters and corporate wankers on the streets of Soho, a few seconds witnessed this gentlemen carrying himself with the confidence of a man that BELONGS. No not necessarily with a bespoke piece, but note...
+ VOIX: Stoëmp
Sharing the wood floored atelier above Avenue Louise 134 with PieceOfChic featured in our last VOIX article, is yet another duo team running the graphic design studio, Stoëmp. Gaetano and Wojciech come across as an incredible force and their love for living life is quite apparent through the INTERVIEW BELOW. Why even their studio name...
+ Sans Facebook
Dear Interconnected Net: The sun rises. No that’s not quite correct. Let’s start over. It’s getting light out, the sun must be up. Then the day continues as portrayed in the above photo. Thereafter, the dimmer is lowered and night reigns. The banality of the greyness is strangely comforting. Brits are always going on about...
+ East Putney, London
Useless yet complimentary braces! And working quite well with the shoulder bag and red winter boots.
+ Irrational
Dear Pleb: To start with the start is rational and to start with the end is unorthodox. I am irrational. So as not to keep you waiting, it ends with instant coffee at 4/78 Lebanon Gardens, Wandsworth, London, SW18 1RH. So about this tragic downfall into the consumption of instant coffee…“We’ve created Kenco Millicano to...
