R.I.P. Amy

Yesterday Amy Winehouse passed away at the age of 27. We are shocked and sad.

Amy was a great artist with a unique voice and iconic style.

L’Idole, styled by Emmanuelle Alt for the February issue of Vogue Paris, is an hommage to Amy’s authentic style:

Miroslava Duma now blogging!

proenza dress_dries booties

Breaking news! The Sartorialist darling & ex-Harper’s-Russia editor Miroslava Duma started posting her outfits on the Russian online platform Buro 24/7. As a long-time admirer of her polished high-profile look I have spent half of my afternoon decoding cyrillic (!) terms for her individual outfit components. Totally worth the effort, let me tell ya! I am now able to inform you that she is wearing a Proenza Schouler dress in the above picture accessorized with a Marni necklace, a pair of Dries van Noten heels and Céline sunnies:-).

Miroslava in an American Apparel dress, Roger Vivier sandals & Cutler & Gross sunnies.

What I love especially about her style is that she keeps it SIMPLE (never more than four different pieces mixed together) and casually combines statement-making designer gear with highstreet finds.

Cara Delevingne

Cara at the Serpentine gallery summer party

Cara Delevingne (yes, it’s Poppy’s younger sister!) at the Serpentine summer party in London last month. I instantly want to pack my bags and move to London when looking at it. Where else in the world could wearing a hippie-esque headband & heavy motorcycle booties to a fancy cocktail event result in the evening’s most-wowed outfit?
