Friday morning at Bergdorf Goodman. On the stairway to their “Shoe Salon“ (which can be described as Sin City for fashionistas) I got to capture a picture of this “Bergdorf Beauty” in a breath-taking Oscar de la Renta silk dress. Models in cocktail dresses and high heels at this time of the day while it’s november-rainy outside? It’s NYC, baby!
Due to my Master thesis I have been dealing a lot lately with the use of new media in marketing so I was delighted about this new, innovative project by Burberry. The art of the trench is an online platform, which was created in cooperation with the Sartorialist and which is a fabulous hommage to our all-time favourite piece of clothing. The site shows a great selection of streetstyle pictures of people wearing their trenchcoats across all major fashion capitals. Check it out here, its a great source of inspiration and it’s even possible to upload your own pics;-)
During my year in Milan 10 Corso Como used to be my favorite saturday-afternoon-hangout. Not necessarily for shopping but more to be INSPIRED. The music, the fashion, the people – all major trends could be spotted here. Carla Sozzani, former VOGUE editor and Italy’s style pope, founded this place almost 20 years ago. It is a beautifully designed concept store that hosts a great selection of designer fashion, furniture, design objects, music and books. Hidden away from Milan’s tourist area with its flashy designer-temples, 10 Corso Como has established as one of Europe’s most influential TREND BOUTIQUES. Alaia, Louboutin, Marni, Balenciaga…of course all these big names come with a hefty price tag! Luckily, the store now decided to cooperate with Net-a-Porter’s online-outlet “The Outnet” to sell one-of-a-kind pieces from past collections. Good for us!
Here are some of my favorites:
Yesterday, I got myself the October Issue of i-D magazine. It’s such a good one… featuring the most coveted fashion crowd out there right now. I literally could not get myself to put it aside, before reading the whole thing (so I’m running on a sleep deficit now…).
One of the best contributions in the issue is this editorial with favourite model Dree Hemmingway, photographed by Alasdair McLellan. I LOVE these pictures: Dree looks so natural and fragile and beautiful, plus she is wearing lots of Isabel Marant…the whole mood is so special.
I just love this picture of super hot Entourage star Adrian Grenier (you might also know him as the cute boyfriend in the Devil Wears Prada) riding a bike in Paris. When we were in Paris last week, we noticed bikes ALL over the place, they really seem to be the new ‘It’ accessory.
Note to myself: when I’m moving to Paris in January, I gotta get myself a bike asap, plus a cute guy to ride it with ;-)

It is not hard to find exceptionally STYLISH and well-dressed people in Paris, that’s for sure! They are everywhere. Paris is like a CANDY SHOP for the style-hungry! Despite our constant sensory overload during this trip we were both equally impressed when we ran into this oh-so-chic Parisian girl in Marais today. Her black & blue vintage outfit definitely deserves the “Miss Marais”-award, don’t you think;-)?
I know, I know… I’m way behind all the Fashion Week coverage, still I wanted to share some of my favourite London FW impressions…
NY fashion week is officially over, the fashion crowd‘s headed to LONDON and we are sorting through tons of amazing pictures – streetstyle shots as well as runway pics! Here’s a first small selection of our favourite NY Fashion Week Pics. Wish we could have been there too…Next year;-)!
This picture by Jak & Jil is definitely today’s highlight! I like how it all blends together: Heidi Mount’s dark make-up, the pattern of her Alexander Wang romper, the pops of blue in the background and the tattoo like arm painting kept from the Rodarte show. Speaking of which, Kate and Laura once again managed to create a truely fantastic collection with an incredible mix of materials, lots of deconstruction and an “out-of-this-world” vibe. Check out the pictures of their collection here.
German top model and natural beauty Toni Garn photographed by Knoepfel and Indlekofer for the September issue of German Vogue.
On this shot she is wearing this season’s IT piece and Les Coupines’ FAVOURITE: the sequined, striped sweater with sharp shoulders. Decarnain manages to combine three key trends in one single piece without overdoing it. Unfortunately, this Balmain piece is well out of our reach, but we love the alternative by French brand Sandro.
See the rest of Toni’s editorial here.
Leaving for Paris tomorrow morning! Yes, yes, yes!!! Oui, oui, oui!!! I am actually going to visit my friend Melina, a true Parisienne (even though she claims that she’s not!). BTW this picture was taken by the Sartorialist in the streets of Paris (one of his greatest shots in my opinion) and everytime I look at it it just makes me smile cause it’s an amazing portrait of the all-Parisienne-girl. Classic cuts, discreet colors, vintage Dior Lady bag, undone hair and smoking OF COURSE!
Will keep u all updated about whats going on in pre-fashionweek-Paris;-). Bonne nuit!
