paris fashion week 01
Although I haven't finish posting about milan...
Bruno Pieters
I'm a huge Fan of Bruno Pieters, but this time I somehow didn't get it. I am really disappointed!!! I didn't like the cuts, the model's stylings... just a few pieces caught my eye. See the complete collection here. I simply loved his spring summer collection. Well let's see what pretty pretty will post about it.
Dsquared²
Great show but I still don't like dsquared², sorry. BUT, I loved the huge headphones and chanel's hair backstage (what does she do to them?) and the long thin legs everywhere (this bottomless looks somehow attract me)... See the whole collection here
Rick Owens
The boots are quite scary! And although I wouldn't wear a single combination like on runway some items would perfectly fit into my wardrobe. more...

documenta XII
What's this year's documenta going to be about?It's unquestionable that the documenta in Kassel (also province!), Germany is one of the most important events for contemporary art worldwide! Nevertheless the curator Roger M. Buergel doesn't see the necessity to tell us art hungry people what this years's documenta will show exactly. It's a bit like fashion week. Not until the very last second, when the first model appears in runway you'll know what it's all about.
Although some details are already known: Not more than 100 artist will be invited (see a short video about the firt press conference here (German!), among others the cook Ferran Adria (!?), the polish soundartist Artur Zmijewski, Britisch artist Imogen Stidworthy and brasilian artist Ricardo Basbaum. Via documenta12blog.de some more artit's names were announced: Gerwald Rockenschaub, Ines Doujak, Florian Pumhösl, Peter Friedel, James Coleman, Dmitri Gutov, Andrei Monastirsky, Anatoli Osmolowski, Alice Creischer, Andreas Siekmann, Christian von Borries...
The french architects Lacaton & Vassal are going to build a huge glasshous at the Karlsaue to center the exhibition (different from documenta XI where Okwui Enwezor spread the exhibition allover Kassel). Besides that the Fridericianum (as usual!) aswell as the documenta hall willbe used as exhibition spaces. The construction works at the Karlsaue can be viewed here. Niklas Maak wrote about it in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ - German!).
On monday the first issue of the documenta magazine Modernity? was released during a press conference at the Wiener Secession. Peter Richter wrote about it in the FAZ (German!). I've already placed my order here.
While searching the internet for information on documenta XII I found the documenta12blog which I highly recommend! There you'll find information directly from the source, pictures, podcasts, interviews, videos...

Chelsea? Berlin-Mitte? Karlsruhe!
I was very pleased to read about Meyer Riegger Gallery, Karlsruhe in Die Zeit, a major weekly newspaper in Germany. Meyer Riegger is a gallery based in Karlsruhe (south of Germany) which is quite unusual for a successful and internationally known gallery in Germany. Most of the galleries are in Berlin or Duesseldorf (some in Cologne). Kalrsruhe doesn't exist in the artworld (they have quite good art- and designschools there, but only a few galleries. You go there to study but not for business!). So it's unusual that a gallery based in the province takes part in major art fairs and convinces collectors and curators to visit Karlsruhe. Actually Karlsruhe isn't that bad. They have the ZKM, Kunsthalle and many little exhibitions spaces and upcoming galleries like Iris Kadel. It's definitely worth a visit. Maybe on your way from Frankfurt Airport to Art Basel 07? The Art Karlsruhe is the next bigger occasion. I'm going to blog from there for regioartline by the way.Lies den ganzen Artikel zu Meyer-Riegger hier (Sorry only in German. Pleas ask for translations!)

milan fashion week 04
Moschino
Well I know that I'm a bit late with my fashion show reviews... I've bought a similar dress like the one shown on the left hand side. Mine is black and not that shiny...
I love the sleek hair style! I definitely need to go to the hair dresser soon for a new relaxer...
Overall I didn't like the complete collection that much!
Max Mara
I loved the boots Sasha wore backstage and a yellow coat is on my list for next winter! More Max Mara here.
Dolce & Gabbana
I simply don't like their idea of fashion! But I liked seeing Gisele on one of her rare runway appearances. Nevertheless I post four pictures on this topic ;-) I really had to smile when I saw Coco wearing this mask. It somehow suits her sm-porn-like appearance anyway (sorry!!!) Jessica is wearing a funny (!) shirt backstage and Maria Peres is wearing Balenciaga. See the complete collection here.
The last Milan part is coming tomorrow...

hamburg part 01
After some quite exhausting hours in the car (Hamburg-Duesseldorf) and on train (Duesseldorf-Mannheim | my boyfriend had to stay in Duesseldorf) and lots of rain I arrived at home (after picking my dog up and having sushi for dinner with my friend the "dogsitter"). Many things have happend (I also received a postcard from Kasper König!!!!! But that's another story!)...
I'll start with the first day (moi wearing black leather ballet flats | black tights | grey Mango skirt with bags | black Mango turtleneck sweater | brown scarf | black Patrizia Pepe coat | silver ZARA bag):
After dropping our dog off at my friends house in Mannheim me and my boyfriend headed for Hamburg by car. The weather was getting worse the nearer we drove north... Luckily I packed my rubberboots which are a quite essential piece of clothes in Hamburg. We arrived there in the afternoon and had some coffee at a coffee bar near central train station. After that we went to see the Henning Wagenbreth exhibition at the heliumcowboy artspace. Maybe you've visited the gallery on scope art fair? See more pictures of the Hamburg exhibition here.
Next stop was the "MarktstraĂźe" for Vintageshopping. There're plenty of shops and lots of cool stuff to buy. Unfortunately I wasn't lucky. I nearly found some boots, but too small to be honest... At the MarktstraĂźe there's also the hinterconti an independent artspace with little exhibitions of upcoming artists. They had an opening last friday. Actually I wanted to go there but somehow overslept! Woa, I'm getting old!
part 02 coming soon!

Au revoir
on my way to bed now to be awake fresh and sober for my 5 hours car drive to hamburg tomorrow morning. I hope the internet in my boyfriend's brother's flat will work!?Otherwise I'll be back on tuesday...
moi...
...soon on the road again. I'm currently planning my outfits and really enjoyed what I wore today. Casual and sporty: white converse | grey knitted slim pants with "ugly" pattern by H&M trend | black sweater (but not as thick as a sweater!) dress with huge bags by H&M trend | black woolen coat by Patrizia Pepe | silver huge handbag by ZARA and funny face...
25 artists to look out for in 2007
The current issue (as digital version online avaible for free!!!) of ArtReview has David Lynch on its cover (ha ha I somehow didn't know how he looked like...) who - as a painter, photographer, filmmaker - talks about his upcoming show at Fondation Cartier.Besides that they feature 25 young artist to look out for in 2007. Among those is Thomas Zipp whichs current exhibition at the galerie
Krinzinger in Vienna I've seen and already wrote about .Marcel Dzama is featured in "teddy bear or bear baiter?".
AND funny videos about how the artworld might turn (p.162).
Actually I tried to post more pictures, but somehow I didn't turn out the way I wanted it to. So please visit their page here.

Backstage at Marni...
...models wearing H&M dresses and Carmen Kass looking fabulous in her denim mini and Doc Martens (? - where are mine by the way???) boots. Love her and haven't seen her in New York. Glad she's in Milan, what about Paris?Credit: style.com
milan fashion week 03
Pollini
Personally I didn't like the Pollini collection at all (my opinion!) and didn't this coat remind you of a coat H&M had in their a/w collection? Just change the buttons and here you go!
Emporio Armani
I thought for a minute about whether to write something about this collection or not. As I've already mentioned before: I'm not an armani woman at all - and less then never an emporio armani friend! All those young nameless models running down the catwalk (wearing nothing special, interessting in particular, maybe the trompe l'oeil stockings?) reminded me very much of the article I wrote about earlier... NO NO NO. Please view the complete collection here.
Marni
when I first saw this I was a little bit shocked (looks like plastic or rubber or something, at least not comfortable to wear!)... But it got a lot better! I saved nearly the complete collection to my PC. I love the tights (which were leggins actually!) and the colorfoul dresses and skirts. The sculpturality of the platform shoes (although I hardly wear heels, maybe I'll collect them one day!?) the palstic/rubber like looking huge (!) handbags (for tall people!) . Later I'll post some backstage pictures!!!
Roberto Cavalli
Hhm. I haven't been invited to the oscars yet, but if my invitation arrives the next days and I would have to wear something by Roberto Cavalli I'd call Roberto to give me one of those dresses. I somehow loved the glamourours Rock-chique of the dress the black model (who is she?) wore.

I've found Tom Scott...
...via picky picks pics and like her I can't believe that I missed him until today! The pictures here posted show my wish-to-haves for the spring/summer 2007 season.I somehow feel that my summer wouldn't be the same without that grey dress and the black one and the trousers... ;-(
Tom Scott seems to be New York City based which is very nice for him but not for me since there's no information on his website about shops and retailers in europe. So if you know a shop shipping to europe or even a "real" shop in Germany (that would be perfect!) please tell me and make my summer 2007! (Now I'm even more curious what Ann Demeulemeester will show in Paris next week!).
See the whole collection here
