Black & White

Gareth Pugh's parisienne debut with his spring-09-collection.



Elizabethan space-warriors were shown at his show in Paris. New interpretations of mi-parti, ruffs and pleats mix historical attributes with a clean, slick futuristic look. I like his edgy costume-like fashion. He doesn't bore with tiring "wearable" clothes, but brings art to fashion. He is truly avantgarde. I want more, more, more...

Get Up - Stand Up!


It's still important!! Stand up for sexual rights, gender equality, health, and against HIV, violence and discrimination. Here is an organisation worth looking at, worth joining, worth supporting. This is about women worldwide, who take the chance to create a better world for all of us.

Treehouse Summer's End, ursprünglich hochgeladen von marc50

Who didn't dream of a tree-house, or tried to build one? Well some architects bring this dream to life. A house in the air, in between sky and earth. A playful nest.

I Love You Fred!




Fred Butler is a set and accessory-designer. But what makes me kneel down in admiration is her bright, colour-sparkling, heartwarming, refreshing fun attitude. I love full-power monochrome styling. She is just speaking directly from my heart...















Susie Bubbles made an interview with her on Dazed Digital:
DD: Is it important for a designer to “Practice what they preach” – wearing their own clothes?
FB: I definitely think it makes life more worthwhile. That’s what leaves icons and legacies in our rich history. Why deny the future generations that joy? Why take yourself too seriously? If you have conviction in your work surely it should carry through in everything you do. Why separate your passions? I salute the Mary Quants, Zandra Rhodes, Vivienne Westwoods of this world. Where would we be if they wore black Gucci suits? It’s not even about being outlandish. Jean Muir looked perfect in her navy crepe and beige lipstick. Having said all that I will let Christopher Kane off for not wearing his mini-dresses! But then he has Tammy (Christopher's sister) doesn’t he?

Colourful World

It's cold, dark and wet outside. A time of the year when i get itchy feet. So many colours are out there to be embraced. Different people and cultures, new aroma and flavours to be explored. Travelling is so important, it's a constant enticement. The best possibility is to work somewhere for a while. Then you don't only rush through places, in a steady fear of missing something. But you can take the chance, to really discover the atmosphere, people, the city or whatever. To learn, to experience, to grow.

Real travelling is pure adventure, and hey that's what makes life exciting...!

Creative Scandinavia







Sandra Backlund is a stunning designer from Sweden (again...!!), and she has been featured in Elle Sweden, I-D, Vogue Italia, and Vogue Japan. I am so, so fascinated by her designs... Her mostly knitted artwork is sculptured around bodies, beautiful and bold. Art-to-wear from creative Scandinavia.

Mother of London















Mother of London is a L.A. based ready-to-wear-label for eccentric dark costumes and fashion. I like the way she plays with fetish and victorian attributes as well as with futuristic visions. And she proves that erotica doesn't have to be vulgar. Always elegant and with high quality, Mother of London has become one of the most interesting labels for alternative fashion.
