A Muse in Paris

A Muse in Paris

Nothing better than a dose of Arizona Muse radiating glamour in the streets in Paris in Les Feux de la Ville -the latest editorial by Inez & Vinoodh for the October issue of Vogue Paris- while I leave to its Fashion Week. Paris’, not Arizona’s. Arizona the model, not the state. Ooh, how complex...

Coveting now: Puppies by Uta Koloczek

Designer Uta Koloczek has recently added some new designs to her already adorable collection of chihuahuas and other porcelain puppies. I can’t stop loving them.

Visions & Fashion — Images of Fashion 1980-2010

The exhibition Visions & Fashion: Images of Fashion 1980-2010, that runs until next October, 9th in Kunstbibliothek in Berlin aims to cover the last thirty years of this decisive combination. Far from acting as...

The Third Mind — Maniamania

The Third Mind — Maniamania

Some Australian designer told me once that this new enthusiasm by aussie design is due to the fact that, geographically speaking, they are isolated from the world so their creativity can freely evolve somehow and also because, as a result of this isolation, they need to find the way of having everything done by...

The Endless Summer

The Endless Summer

The idea of an eternal summer looks, as cold times get closer, more and more appealing. My experiences on a surfboard can be counted on the fingers of my hands -of a single hand, actually- but I really wouldn’t mind at all joining up the guys in The Endless Summer by Bruce Brown to...

Ailanto S/S 12

Siblings Aitor and Iñaki Muñoz, designers of Ailanto, celebrated their ten years on Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week on a seventies mirror-like catwalk. It was the first time I saw one of their shows again after they left Barcelona to move on to the capital so I couldn’t be happier when I discovered that this...

María Escoté S/S 12: El Ansia

Although I had never seen any of the shows by Catalan designer María Escoté I did have seen her previous collections and had read very different reviews regarding them: mainly swinging all of them between the most absolut love or hate, fact that, obviously, aroused my suspicions. While we were waiting for the show...

‘The Future’ by Miranda July

‘The Future’ by Miranda July

I discovered Miranda July -like so many other people in the world- with her film You and Me and all the ones we know, a real gem of the indie cinema that, around emotional surrealism and naïvety manages to weave a bittersweet veil that wraps the observer during the whole film. Or maybe, even...

Coveting Now: Mousse Jane

It is time already of packing sandals in here, the electric storm we could enjoy on our first day right after landing our sunny naivety back in Berlin looked like a divine sign in charge of letting us now that we were once again in the country of perpetual rain and implacable cold. I...

Mauve & Tangerine

3.1 Phillip Lim is discovering for next summer a more technical, sporty, clean and minimal style, escaping from the subtle romanticism he has been displaying till now. The accurate feminine and delicate details that I have always liked so much in his collections are substituted next summer by the coldness of bright white, straight...

Lana del Rey — Video Games

Lana del Rey — Video Games

I love the sensation of power in creating expectations about something from which there is nothing yet, and how writers like me can benefit from that in order to write biographies that are at this moment still unauthorised. A couple of weeks ago, a video of a girl named Lizzy Grant (although I am still...

(End of) Chapter III: Munich

Now that our luggage is half-unpacked and that the new apartment still feels too new this seems the right moment to look back on the third volume of this, our chaptered life, in the city that, in my opinion, has better represented German tradition to date. Munich is over, and so are the old...

Back for the Future

Some days ago I got an email talking about the auction Nike is carrying out on eBay with 1.500 pairs (55 every day) of the mythic sneaker Nike MAG -the one that Marty McFly was wearing in Back to the Future II- until the next September, 18th; all this could be a mere funny...
