THE HOUSE OF VIKTOR & ROLF

Believe it or not, I never had a great thing for dolls. Well of course I had my barbie's and barbie houses, cars, horses, whatever, but deep inside I fell for Lego - the boyish side inside of me. Nevertheless I do like what Viktor & Rolf are doing lately: Designing Victorian-style dolls dressed in Viktor & Rolf designs and doll's houses. "The house of Viktor & Rolf" will be displayed at London's Barbican art gallery from tomorrow on until September 21st.

"The exhibition is dominated by a gigantic doll house, a graceful structure with Palladian proportions where miniature versions of 15 years of fashion fill the series of rooms on three levels [...] 'The concept is a fashion house that contains their whole world - and of those great fashion moments, like the Russian dolls and the 'Atomic Bomb',' says Jane Alison, the Barbican's senior curator." source

SHORTS

While some of you might be here I will be here, mostly for work purposes. BUT besides work stuff I will be meeting her and some other New York based bloggers and will take the time to see this, this and this and maybe this. And might have the chance to meet them.

For now I will keep on beeing totally p*#?$§ off that my Topshop order hasn't arrived yet and that I will be leaving tomorrow morning without the two pairs of shoes I've ordered especially for NYC.

BUT - most certainly I will see these guys Thursday night (which makes the shoe issue a tiny little bit more bearable).

WELCOME TO STOCKHOLM

The Facehunter Show Stockholm - Part 1

THERE'S NOTHING TO RELY ON...

When beeing alone at home used to mean watching any crap on TV it today means... The only (?) bad thing about LPs is that they sometimes just end, there is no repeat. Otherwise I would simply lie here today listen to the Futureheads (esp. in the Digitalism Remix Version) over and over again

KATE MARSHALL

It's nice to see people you personally know been featured on style.com. Kate ist the friend of a friend and a London based artist drawing provocating women in the "loose and limber style of fashion illustrations [...] inspired by glossy editorials. Marshall's work is intended to offer a 'smutty, seaside postcard humour's take on feminism, femininity, and the sexualized female image in popular culture.'" source
Right now her work is shown at the Empire Gallery in London. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the city...
