T-post | Subscribe your shirt today

I just found this link on rojo-magazine. One of the coolest ideas which came across my way these days. "T-post is a lot like having a subscription to a magazine but instead of receiving magazines in your mailbox - you receive T-shirts. Every six weeks we take a news story that catches our attention and design a T-shirt based on that story. ... The story behind each shirt's design is printed on the inside of the T-shirt." MORE

I ♥ printed T-shirts and that's why I'm going to subscribe to t-post (as soon as this months salary reaches my account ;-)

Art Review | September 2006

ART A LA MODE
Armani at the Guggenheim, Louis Vuitton Art Talks, Cartier Foundation, the artful extravagant of Hussein Chalayan and Viktor & Rolf and artist-designed sneakers galore. In its annual Fashion Survey, published this September, ArtReview investigates the melding of two creative cultures.

FASHION LOVES ART
Christie's Philippe Garner takes a look at the current stock of fashion photographers and makes an educated guess on who will be the mainstays of tomorrow. "Think of Steven Meisel's stream of witty, wildly inventive and provocative stories for Italian Vogue, Steven Klein's tableaux starring Madonna or Tom Ford, and Juergen Teller's self-indulgent self-portraits with Charlotte Rampling and Cindy Sherman for a Marc Jacobs ad campaign and you will quickly realise that fashion has become the highly visible and commercially effective site for picture-making every bit as challenging as that being pursued by so many photographers who define themselves as independent artists."

Miuccia Prada talks about the influence of contemporary art on contemporary fashion. "Maybe art is not enough. Maybe it's not the place anymore for radicalism. My view is that right now we need thinkers, people who can analyse the current world."

J.J. Charlesworth argues that fashion and contemporary art are just having a fling. "The misunderstanding is that 'making art' is something you can only do in the 'art world'. But when you look closely at fashion/art crossovers, you realise that what they really do is perpetuate a dismal lie about the place of creativity in mass culture."

I'm on my way to the newsstand...

Madonna for H&M

So Ladies, Now's the day we've been waiting for. But have we? Who actually is going to buy this tracksuit? I was like "hey, Adidas tracksuit Madonna is doing one for H&M. Guess that's pretty cool". But wait... "When am I going to wear it???" I've lived for 26 years without one, why should I start running around the Paris Hilton way? I'm gonna stay in bed tomorrow morning and save some money and energy for the Viktor&Rolf hunt.

ADDITION LATER THE SAME DAY:
Guess what. I'm hopeless! I've just bought the black jacket. There're plenty in stock at my local H&M. Just no fashionable people around here. The tracksuit fits VERY well. Just the bottoms are - as usualy in my case - to short. Took some photos with my mobile's camera. Try to upload them later.

Vogue Germany September 2006

Oi. This months Vogue Germany cover (Hana Soukupova - in case you didn't know) reminds me a bit of the Vogue UK's (Thanks to FAD for posting...). Nevermind. There're some really nice editorials inside:

"Kunstücke" with Lily Cole, by Koto Bolofo
1 2 3 4
"Pop UP!" with Drielle Valeretto by Thomas Nützel
"Form: Schön" with Sophie Holmes by Thomas Schenk
"Dark Angel " with Hannelore Knuts by Knoepfel + Indlekofer
"Zart Besaitet" with ? by Jenny Gage + Tom Betterton

With thanks to Estella Mare and helligirl from tFs

Alas, poor yorick...

The sweet fashionologie has a shop online now. There's just one item for sale so far and I've already ordered it ♥
Nice little shirts with hamlet quotes on it. Oh how I love this sophisticated stuff.

Liselotte Watkins

TUSH 03/2006 proudly presents Liselotte Watkins. A reason for me to start a little research. The Swedish illustrator is one of the most succesfuls in the fashion and cosmetic industry. She has worked for several big names like Mac cosmetics, Victoria's secret, Max Mara, Anna Sui, to name a few. Unfortunately she's less known in Germany. While illustrating for the british, the american, the japanese and the italian VOGUE and for ELLE in the US, UK and France etc. she was never published in Germany until now in TUSH and Squint.

Hope to see more from her soon ♥ And maybe some more little animations??? Like this musicvideo "You can't hurry love" from "The Concretes" or "Warm night".

Actually I haven't been away... anyway. Now I'm back.
And here's some personal stuff.
A photo of my first birthday.
When exactly is my mothers hairstyle going to be really fashionable again?
