mq fashion week day 1

vienna: fashion city? well…. maybe not. we’re trying hard but we simply can’t keep up with paris or london. BUT there’s no other fashion week where you get little sausages in your goodie bag! amazing, right? i am sure the models didn’t eat them and neither did i. anyway, from sausage to fashion: i attended the shows of rebekka ruetz, bipone, michel mayer, elfenkleid and eva poleschinski. rebekka ruetz: quite nice. bipone: no comment. drag queen looks par excellence. michel mayer: loved the music. elfenkleid: angel-like. ep_anoui: at least a little more crazy than the regular stuff. but what bothered me really was the fact, that music by THE XX is absolutely being overused. you hear their songs in so many tv commercials and now even at fashion shows. common people, don’t destroy those good songs and get some new ones for whatever you’re doing!


anyway, today day two starts, followed by rebekka ruetz after party. more photos coming soon and on my facebook page.

ps: forgot to mention my highlight. the 17 year old sitting in the first row with sunglasses and acting like he’s taking notes.

DIY STUDDED COLLAR

 i’ve never seen myself as big crafty person. i am way too impatient and when god set my genetics he set my fine motor function to zero. seriously, i am one of the clumsiest people ever. BUT… BUT: there’s DIY’s for people like me. easy ones. you might have seen that anything with studs is super hyped at the moment. everyone’s like: whoa studs! what a great idea! but studs have been around for such a long time.  many designers are picking them up again and are mixing them with haute couture. well this isn’t haute couture, it’s a simple H&M jeans vest to which i added screw on spikes (available in vienna here). very easy, very cheap. more coming soon!

good morning, monday!

what a great way to start the day: be woken up by the mailman and receiving something you’ve waited for anxiously and unpacking it while having a cup of coffee.

these vintage boots from kleiderkreisel.de make my heart jump big time. they were only 35 € with shipping and are the best full-leather boots ever.

FASHION CAMP 2011

 mark

oh woah. if i could pick the coolest work space in vienna it would definitely be THE HUB . and if there’s one thing i’d eat for lunch for the rest of my life, it’s 12 munchies cupcakes. alright, maybe i should stop phantasizing about everything this afternoon, but it was indeed a great day with great athmosphere. and maybe it’s the bottle of prosecco speaking, that the bf and i are finishing at the moment. but hey: we gotta get in the mood for the afterparty at studio 67! back to topic: the fashion camp 2011 was a great success, a big compliment to the organizers for the cool day. the goodie bag made me feel like a child on christmas eve, but more about that soon. now more prosecco and more fun. see you at the after party.
