LDN - Eley Kishimoto AW10
Designer names: Mark Eley and Wakako Kishimoto Name three things that are inspiring you for autumn/winter 2010: “The graphic nature of traditional folk designs and its comparison to their modern counterpart; iconic imagery, regardless of its context; soft, relaxed, gentle movement.”
What are your design signatures? Mark: “Print, fashion, design and the universe.” Wak: “Print, colour...

monki girls wear monki jeans
The Monki Cool Jeans workshop today was really fun but unbelievable crowded! While we were having delicious drinks and candy, Sonja, Laura and I tried hard to realise our ideas.
Now we’re off to the vernissage and party! More pictures tomorrow!

NY - Erin Wasson x RVCA AW10
#1-4 Erin Wasson x RVCA AW10 via
#5 Traditional persian rug via
Model Erin Wasson’s collection for RVCA sells the “off-duty-model” style of clothing. Some people may call it flat after seeing it four seasons but in my opinion the tag wearable is most of the times positive if you can see love in the details and a special mood. Hippie or folk elements like...

#1 Clubfeet - Count your lovers (2010)
#2 Guy Bourdin (unknown source)
Alex Goddard used for this video for the australian act Clubfeet 8mm film which gives it this nice blown out 70s look. At least as interesting as that: Three weeks before the shoot model Tiah Eckhardt gave birth to a little girl.
Alex’ perception of Tiah dancing brings easily Guy Bourdin’s erotic...

LDN - Burberry Prorsum AW10
via londonfashionweek.co.uk
On the whole the Burberry Prorsum AW10 collection is okayish and a bit disppointing as Christopher Bailey always does so great collections but the coats and jackets are still super nice.

LDN - Ashish AW10
Notes: Wide slouch trousers, grey tweed, pattern knits, dosed colour, tomboy jackets and coats, sequins, aztec patterns and last but not least a knife point of pop
Designer name: Ashish Gupta What are your design signatures? “Sequins, glamour, sportswear and more sequins.” How would you describe the Ashish woman? “Fun-loving and sexy with a sense of humour. She likes to make an...
Gia Coppola for Opening Ceremony SS10
Let’s start like this: In Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette starred Jason Schwartzman, her cousin, and Kirsten Dunst, the lead actress from her feature film debut The Virgin Suicides. Sofia’s Dad is Francis Ford. He famously cast Sofia in The Godfather III, apparently it didn’t go too well.
Like Marie Antoinette the below video for Opening Ceremony’s 2010 Spring...

More love from Scandinavia. This time thanks to Ramon. The one bad thing about it: It’s too short.
Read an Interview with Kasper Bjørke at this by the way super nice blog called Supjective.
P.S.: Those who always criticise they don’t understand REIGEN should also get a quick fix by having a look a the quite easy description of Supjective - just to get a hint of an idea.

CPH - Soulland & Adler Fedora
Soulland presented of their AW10 collection The Walk by an exhibition of stunningly beautiful lookbook pictures which were like the collection inspired by head designer Silas Adler’s journey through scandinavia, past snow-covered mountains, dense forests, and wind-swept beaches.
For this collection we have been very inspired by the colors of the Scandinavian nature, but we have also...

cinema and surface
via 1, 2
I’m not a big Tom Ford fan but the trailer for his first movie A single man looks quite nice. He seems to be a Hitchcock and maybe also an Almodovar fan. We’ll have to figure that out soon.
Anyway it’s nothing super unusual if you switch from fashion to film. There has always been a close relationship between fashion and film. Many investors and creatives of the...

CPH - Minimarket AW10
Notes: Yellow, green, orange, croc leather, fuzzy materials, extreme wedges, indio pattern, A-line, bow strap details, warrior belts, blousons, short trenchs
As usual Minimarket did uber cool shoes and trendy office chic. Their indian theme and the pattern are in my opinion a bit yesterday. Of course their realized their topic in a very Minimarket way. But didn’t Henrik Vibskov...

Notes: bold stripes, brown, dark yellow to burnt orange, cable knit, landscape prints on silk, pleated trousers, golden round studs, maxi length, ponchos, college loafers, traditional hats
About Stine Goya it’s so amazing that she always keeps her very distinctive own style. You can tell by the patterns, the golden details, the shape...

disco
Here a few samples by Holger Wüst who enriches the weekend nights with his art at the Robert Johnson in Offenbach. He edits his visuals out of movies such as White Dog (1982), Perfect (1985), Killer Workout (1986) or Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1987).

el perro del mar
This is one souvenir from beautiful KBH. When Herbert showed it to me I first thought it’s a gay clip. But in fact it’s one of the most beautiful and simple music videos I’ve ever seen.
This strange airiness which paradoxically arises from these bulky golden muscles fits the song very well.
Good night. Copenhagen Fashion Week report tomorrow!

CPH: Weekday x Peter Jensen
Mid of March another Weekday collaboration will hit the stores: The collection of London based danish Peter Jensen was presented yesterday along a relaxed and cosy press brunch in a super nice old-fashioned place in the old town of Copenhagen.
One of my main reference points for the collection was a photo of me as a small child with my grandmother. I wanted the collection to embrace this...

la maison bleue
via 1,2, 3, 4
Blue is the most popular colour of all times. In art history blue is the colour of Mary. In 1919 even before Yves Klein could die of the poisonous fumes of his monochrome blue Jacques Majorelle painted his art deco villa and its garden in Marrakech in a bright blue which makes sky meet earth in the middle of the desert. He had noticed the colour in Moroccan tiles, in Berber...

Since I’ve seen Damien Hirst “butterfly paintings” I’m obsessed with the idea of buying some kind of an old butterfly box.

When finally almost everybody is fed up with all the bland and generic armani scents and their cousins the scandinavians are again the first to come up with just another clever and affordable label with a sleek and desireable design and concept.
