Vladimir Karaleev feat. Wut Berlin

2010-02-10T08:41:00.000-08:00

This is the Vintage collection for Wut Berlin, designed by Vladimir Karalee v, a young bulgarian that studied fashion design in Berlin. I love his work (apart from below collection): it's simple, minimalist, geometric.

photos are from the Facebook album

Hui Hui feat.Wut Berlin

Hui Hui belongs to the finest selection of Wut Berlin and deserves an own post in my opinion - not only to decorate my blog with these fantastic designs and stylings . Also very recommendable: their website.

Wut Berlin

2010-02-10T04:03:00.000-08:00

Hey ho guys, it's time for a new post, especially after making this great dicovery of Wut Berlin, a collective of young, independent and VERY creative designers from my lovely hometown Berlin and other parts of the world. At first I leave you the latest fashion video for the Spring/Summer 2010 collection-so fun!!!

Rodchenko&Popova

2010-01-11T01:43:00.000-08:00

This post is inspired by the great exhibition of the russian Constructivism artists Rodchenko&Popova that I saw some days ago in the Reina Sofia Museum.

Apart from her paintings Popova also made textile designs, which I just admire!! I'd make fabrics like these by my own if I could...

5x5=25 was an abstract art exhibition of 5 constructivism artists (Rodchenko&Popova were two of them) that was held in september 1921 and should manifest the "end of art". The 25 catalogues for it have been hand-drawn by the artists.

An example for the influence on todays design:

The famous album cover for Franz Ferdinand

trends for Spring /Summer 2010

ELEY KISHIMOTO: her Sping /Summer 2010 collection is awsome,I love the prints,the colours, the styling...everything! I only posted my favorite looks, but the whole collection is just amazing! Apart she has lots of other interesting design projects such as a small EASTPAK collection,helmets for the brand RUBY, a shoe for Nike etc etc. For me definitely a designer to keep an eye on!

The runway photos are from the designers website.

"Personally, I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first; get it out of the way. Then go live in an old age home. Once you get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work you get a gold watch on your first day. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You drink alcohol. You party and you get ready for high school. You go to primary school, you become a kid, you play & are free of responsibilities. You then become a little baby, shoot back up there and spend your last nine months floating with luxuries like central heating and room service on tap and then you finish off as an orgasm!"

Kings of Leon-cancelled

2009-02-17T07:22:00.000-08:00

Right here I actually wanted to post photos like this:

or this one...

but I didn't get to take them, because the sadest "highlight" of my weekend was on sunday evening when I've been told that the concert I've been looking forward for 3 weeks wouldn't take place (I was almost on the way to it!). Due to illness all spain gigs of the great Kings of Leon had been cancelled.
Well guys... although my night was ruined: get well soon and see you on next occasion!

ARCO '09

2009-02-16T07:08:00.000-08:00

Much more exciting: the International Contemporary Art Fair ARCO that was taking place at the same time and right in front of the pavilions of SIMM. So I just needed to make one step to enter into the place where 240 galeries from 32 countries brought the best paintings, sculpture, installations, photography, video, drawing and prints....incredible! Here are some of my favorite works:

This is not an optical illusion!!

SIMM '09

2009-02-16T04:54:00.000-08:00

After a long time without posting I'm back with news about a weekend full of highlights! First I brought you some impressions from the SIMM, Madrids Fashion Week with more than 500 exhibitors, 1000 brands from 17 countries.

It was interesting to see the variety of styles and clothes, from current trends over natural textiles up to leatherwear. But frankly... there were only FEW things that I found really special and inspiring.

Wintercase festival

2008-12-01T06:21:00.000-08:00

As I couldn't go to the Summercase, I took the chance and joined the Wintercase concerts that took place this weekend in a really nice location, the sala "Joy Eslava", an old, small theater that's now used for concerts and parties. So there we had the perfect atmophere for listening to the band "Cuchillo",

.."El perro del mar"

and Scott Matthew".
