“The Light sculpture Forms in Nature resembles Darwinist Ernst Haeckel’s drawings . Using a simple action, such as intensifying the brightness at the center of the artwork, the light transforms the space and adds character, as the work throws oversized shadows onto walls and ceilings in the space in which it hangs. The light sculpture …
For a calm weekend with less words and more visual pleasure. More here
Hold on to your gloves, bet your hats and leave the horses on. Or something in that direction. I’ve had the pleasure to be personally invited to the HEADONISM – pretty nifty wordplay there – exhibition during London Fashion Week, which meant I could see the best talent in millinery from the UK ( and …
3D printers, rather similar to you in high school at the prom dance, have awkwardly been lurking around a while and perforated the web too short as for anyone to take great notice. Now, it finally seems that they’re here to stay. Mind you, I am not talking about futuristic food-replication machines such as in …
In the deep dark fashion mud of the past seasons I remember reading about a girl, who allegedly worked as underage prostitute. After developing a certain reputation said young girl then attempted to work as a designer and to bring a lingerie label on the market. To be quite frank, back then I thought to …
If you’ve been reading this blog for some time then you might have noticed that I like words. Yes, I am aware that this is a funny statement to make for a Fashion/Art Blogger ( prejudice?) but it’s also a true statement. I cannot imagine how I’d feel if I couldn’t read the books that …
It’s officially spring. Not because the sun has finally come out, or because you’re eyeing your cardigans critically (because, really, they should go now!), no. It’s spring because couples shoot up from the floor, out of their dark college dorms, into the sunny streets, like mushrooms in autumn. A phenomenon of spring, if you ask …
“Dewey-Hagborg’s Stranger Visions project is fascinating in both its concept and its limitations. She explains on her blog that she originally conceived of the project while sitting in her therapist’s office, where she noticed a hair lodged in a crack in a picture frame. She wondered about the person to whom the hair had belonged, …
Because we love thinking outside the paperclip! This must have bag, the ‘Clip Bag’ from Peter Bristol.
If I would find one of these then my day would be made. So delicate and funny. Especially the little island in the puddle – perfect for UK weather! via
That’s right. Because, you know, we love shoes blahblah. But in reality this is more of a post like this one. Shoes that aren’t out to kill you, but out to question your sanity. Mind you, unfortunately, there’s a couple of these shoes out there. These Celine Furry Shoes are the gold star winner …
Despite years of tiny figures gracing our catwalks, the fashion industry is finally beginning to broaden its horizons to include many more beautiful women, only this time, size is not an issue. Nicknamed, ‘the shape of fashion’s future,’ London Plus Size Fashion Weekend (LPSFW) began on February 15th and saw plus size women everywhere rejoice. …
It’s time. The sun is out, evenings become longer, the weather is warmer and these little fancy drinks in your hand just keep refilling. After a long episode of hibernation, one can dare to go back outside without more layers than person. However, as is my case, that long hibernation ( ehr ehr not the …
I’m young and should therefore be loving social media. Or at least, that is what the news tells me. Dear news, you are wrong. Social media has long confused me, cost me hours of catching up with people I didn’t care about any longer, look at puppy images instead of fixing myself food, and looking …
“British photographer Tim Flach sees animals in a completely different way. Having completed postgraduate studies at St. Martins School of Art London, Flach shoots stylized animal portraits that look more like fine art than framed shots of your puppy. Commercially trained as a professional photographer for over 25 years, Flach’s conceptual style has been shaped …
NSFW. I was in my mid-teens and thought American Apparel was like the coolest thing everr. Excited to find a store in my home town I dragged my dear mother in. Never will I forget her harsh judgement on the clothing, not to mention she has never seen an advert of American Apparel before. “We …
I read it in Vogue, therefore it must be true. “VogueSpy” to be precise. Because, you know, spying the fact that people still wear denim – especially as jeans, who knew- is worth of a special editorial. I must be extremely hip – I never stopped wearing jeans. Before we all break out into multi …
In all seriousness, I love shoes. I mean, which girl/woman doesn’t? (by all means, feel free to offer your 2 pence in the comment section if you do not like shoes) However, as much as I have dragged my numb feet along on party nights due to small-sized shoes, or too tight ankle wraps, however …
We won’t descend into the depth – no depth that is – of Cosmopolitan style Sex Talk, but try and see the Art component of this .. Wall of Vagina’s. Admittedly, I have a hard time accepting this as Art, but then I’m also always the one that starts giggling into her scarf in a …
Unfortunately, I’m incapable of intense introductions and will soon hit a dry spot – nail varnish peeling wise ( it’s Chanel’s Peridot, for the ones “in the know”) – so, I’ll cut to the chase. How often do you do your nails? Per week? Per month? But wait before you take a good look at …

Because everything seems to have been done, we now 3D print garments. But before you get too excited and run to your local print store – this technology is still in its baby shoes. So after chocolate 3D printing, we layer powedered nylon, connected by 3,000 tiny joints and gaze at Dita van Teese’s figure …
So, I got stuck on this up and coming young phtographer – Marcus MB – whilst scrolling through the FashionFetishism tumblr and I cannot stop!”At this very moment Marcus has taken upon himself the challenge of the 365 project.

From TIME Magazine : In an age when “everything is changing, everything is moving,” photographer Nadav Kander has sought to find moments of reserve, reverence and human vulnerability in his latest series, Bodies: 6 Women, 1 Man, opening this week at Flowers Gallery (Cork Street) in London, and published by Hatje Cantz later this month. …
Fetish :“I tried to keep an element of my drawings, to be faithful to the drawings, with no practicality, just pleasure, thinking of extreme fetish shoes. Usually when you go to the third dimension you lose something,” explains Louboutin of his initial concept, “then I wanted to photograph them – I find there’s more emotion …
“Picasso LIFE magazine reported at the time, “gave Mili 15 minutes to try one experiment. He was so fascinated by the result that he posed for five sessions, projecting 30 drawings of centaurs, bulls, Greek profiles and his signature. Mili took his photographs in a darkened room, using two cameras, one for side view, another …
Isn’t this the cleverest thing? 17th century style vases with 3D imagery. I’m sold, and I think ( hint hint) this would also be a great last-minute New Years present to calm things down. Imagine how nice it would look, both in a modern and sleek environment and in grandma’s old cabinet. A sure winner. …
Yes, I like to have some stimulating tableware along with stimulating discussions – and these definitely make for some sort of discussion – , especially after a bottle of red wine. Who doesn’t.

The closing of London Fashion Week – Fashion Fringe, Christopher Bailey crowning the new star to rise in the Fashion Industry- Haizhen Wang. And all that glamour. I thought all three designers, Teija Eilola, Haizhen Wang and Vita Gottlieb, were fantastic, and it must be very hard to pick out either of them, especially since we all … Continue reading »
Normally, I’m not a fan of the typical colourful/slightly crazy London style that is so widely celebrated and showcased at London Fashion Week. Unless, of course there is something about it that makes it not crazy, but just lively and happy. Leutton Postle managed that, not sure how but there you go, I really liked … Continue reading »
The evolution from childhood collages, I’m thinking it looks gorgeous, but is it really that complicated? I shall work a bit more on my photoshop skills and tell you at another point.

Unbeknown to me previously this syrien designer is sure to make big waves in the fashion industry in future years. The utterly complicated designs, the overbearing embellishments, the rich colours all truly reflected the worth Haute Couture has or is supposed to have. There was effectively not one dress where I could have said that … Continue reading »

On rare occasions you get stuck on designs, or lured in by their tasty honey, and yet you are bugged by the fact that they are : so simplistic.

Normally we really don’t have model crushes ( or, very rarely and then we don’t present them) but since the protagonist of this has been debating with herself for some days what colour would suit her best; well, we though it’d be a good move to pick out our favourite Chloe Norgaard photos. Yes, the … Continue reading »

We adore these fake jewellery earrings – printed on plastic (!), imitating diamonds and all the precious stones we cannot afford. But don’t tell your loving partner, boyfriend, husband, lover and all the things in between. We all still want to have the real deal dangling off that gorgeous body of ours.
