::: MOIN MOIN:::

I'm off to Hamburg. I'll try and blog from there, but there's just so many thing to do in this fantastic city. I'll definitely check out the Helium Cowboy Artspace...
And I'll look so hot in my new grey Replay Jeans (Fantastic. If you need at least an 36 inseam buy these and wear them turned down (normal!). They're incredibly long and be sure to buy them very very tight, so they'll make a perfect pair of skinny jeans - I bought mine two sizes smaller - YUMMY!!!).

I'll see you around...

Viktor & Rolf ::: Because they're worth it

We all love them. For their fantastic art inspired designs and for their upcomming collaboration with H&M. Femke Wolting - former initiator and programmer of the International Film Festival Rotterdam - presents in her documentary "Viktor & Rolf - Because we're worth it" an intimate view of the Dutch designers over the course of a year. More information at artkrush

Listen to Tilda Swinton explaining the art of Viktor & Rolf and explore the documentary's website - many many clips!!!

Discover the latest creations from Viktor & Rolf — including Antidote, their fragrance for men — by logging onto their blog and check out their dynamic designs in the Skin + Bones exhibition at MOCA LA, opening November 19. That's definitley worth a visit and I'm definitely not going to make it - LA is just not on this year's list ;-(

Tracey Emin for Britain

As a German I probably should be writing about Germany's Venice Biennale participation!? Just to mention it - it'll be Isa Genzken. But for fashion and art lovers Britains representative is much more interessting. Tracey Emin is known as one of the so called "Young British Artists" (YBA's). These are a group of conceptual artists, painters, sculptors and installation artists based in the United Kingdom, most (though not all) of whom attended Goldsmiths College in London. The term Young British Artists is derived from shows of that name staged at the Saatchi Gallery from 1992 onwards, which brought the artists to fame... MORE).

Besides a lot of freaky, cool, interessting and disgusting art works and her nearly winning the Turner Prize in 1999 Emin is in the fashion world famous for her collaboration with the french luggage label Longchamp back in 2004. The result of this collaboration was patchwork on mostly "les pliages" bags. I can still remember me wanting on of these bags badly. But their price outweight my little students salary. I thought it a brilliant way to stick out all the other students here carrying their little monocoloured Longchamp bags to uni "hey I got the same, but mine is just better, you know it was designed by TRACEY EMIN!!! You don't know her? Oh .... anyway. Mine's still better ;-)"

Fashion ♥ Art ♥ Fashion

Deitch Projects is taking art to the streets via the second annual Art Parade, and in turn designers are bringing fashion into the museums and galleries. Miss Sixty has secured the Guggenheim for its show, and Hermès the newly renovated Morgan Library for its short film fest. Aussie-import Josh Goot chose Matthew Marks's space for his NYC debut; Hanuk is presenting at Wallspace, and CFDA/Vogue finalists Jovovich-Hawk will show at the Adrian Ruehl gallery. Injecting some drama into the proceedings are Marchesa's Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig (also up for the CFDA/Vogue award), who follow De La Guarda, Sandra Bernhard, and Ben & Jerry's into the Daryl Roth Theatre in Union Square. Curtains, please.

Yummy Yummy. That sounds VERY intersting indeed! Hope some of you're gonna be there taking some photos - not only the runway shows, but also some of the decoration. Fashion and art are getting closer everytime.

Have you heard of Schnittpunkt??? Maybe it's worth a visit. Pack your bags and detour on your way to paris. St. Gallen offers some nice exhibitions.

Sock Dreams

My sock dreams order arrived on friday. Every tall and slim girl should wear overknee stockings, short skirts or shorts and heels - accept she can stand the staring people...
Ha Ha at the age of 26 I'm still not really one of these confident "girls". But I'm working on it ;-)

Puma NUALA

Yesterday I've been to Metzingen for the first time. Special about this little southern Germany city (near Stuttgart) is, that it's the place where Hugo Boss comes from. Metzingen is an outlet shopping city with lots of bargains to be explored. I've been there for the Boss, Escada, Strenesse, Wolford and Puma Outlets. My boyfriend bought some really nice and cheap stuff (Boss shoes, Nike 180s, pants and Boss sweaters) I left Metzingen just with some Boss underwear and a pair of Puma Nuala Boxer (Yoga) pants (for just 70 EUR!!! It's around 150 EUR in stores) in black. Although I'm a non track suit, sweat pant wearer I instantly fell in love. They feel so comfortable and are very very long, which is very perfect. The first fitting "sweat" pants ♥

I want more!!!
