The Black Issue

It’s no secret that the fashion industry is a little biased toward tall, skinny, blond hair/blue eyed young, young women. The past few years white has dominated the runways, and we’re not talking about white fabrics. This July Vogue Italia is publishing for the first time, a “Black” issue, one issue featuring mostly black [...]

I’m not slacking

Oh dear, I’ve been photographing all day, and modeling. It’s all very hard work. But soon, soon, I’ll have new stuff for you!

Summer Evening Walk

Things I love about Summer.… Long days, garden roses,  evening walks, lovely conversations about nothing. Bike rides in the forest. Only a 15 minute train ride from Frankfurt proper, my home feels like it’s in the countryside, and it’s felt in my style, taking a softer approach to attire. Relaxed trousers are certainly popping [...]

Intimately Social

Fashion is often confusing. A notoriously shallow discipline, like all others at it’s best it’s stunning, and at it’s worst, well, it’s stunning. Clothing oneself, is often a very personal ritual. Each day, each person puts on their clothes ‘one pant leg at a time’, and yet when it comes to fashion, it’s a world [...]

Utility Chic

Wood shop attire just keeps getting better and better. From Devo’s classic performing jumpsuits, the standard base of most men’s Halloween costumes, to the beautiful Punky B, utilitarian worksuits, better known as jumpsuits or coveralls are popping back up on the radar again. Perhaps it’s the return of the [...]

Put Your Head on My Shoulder (Pad)

The last few days of my life, I’ve devoted to hats. It all started from my shoppe, which I kept finding pieces with these shoulder pads. The scale-like form of shoulder pads are beautiful, but I didn’t know what to do with them… so they just lived in a plastic bag. I’m not a milliner, [...]

Bleeding Knees: A Little Chat with Caitlin Shearer

The wonders of the innately creative never cease to amaze, being an artist, not as much by desire, but by birthright. Young artist (18!) Caitlin Shearer is as such. Where many of us (like myself) take so much time to try to develop our unique way of communicating with the world, Caitlin has done this [...]

Green Wishing

The more I learn about the chemicals in conventional cosmetics, the less I want to use them. No problem – I can just “go green,” right? I wish it were that easy.
Greenwashing is rampant in the beauty industry. TerraChoice, an environmental marketing firm, defines greenwashing as “the act of misleading consumers regarding the environmental [...]

Airbags Wanted

Of all the beautiful gemstones of the world, none is more precious than air… and without it, we perish. I’ve always been fascinated by the ways of which air inspires, from Rodarte’s floaty, cloud-like dresses, to balloons. Inspired by balloons, Réka Lorincz created these lovely pieces out of biodegradable plastic for stage performances… but you [...]
