ARTISANAL SS09
i don’t think words can express my love and admiration of Margiela’s work.
crystalline green
my latest obsessions and visual stimulations
pyrite – garnet – foam
to me, they all share the same tactile allure, complex structure and aesthetic pleasure. even more appealing in combination, the fragility of foam, existent only for a brief moment, against the strenght of the semi-precious stones which take years to form.

back in business
i’m not dead. yet. the last two weeks consisted of pretty much no sleep, a shooting for a short film where i did the costumes and a weekendtrip to munich for a family reunion. now i’ve finally settled back at home in vienna and tying up loose ends here and there.
how this blog will continue, i don’t know. right now, in my opinion, the ‘fashion blogosphere’ is kinda oversaturated. i’m sick of reading the same news/seeing the same editorials everywhere. and while many blogs seem to lack focus, i’m thinking how to differenciate myself from the mass. i didn’t ponder this blog alot before starting, but right now i want something different. so there might be change coming on, think collaborations, a more scientific approach to fashion, more of my own, conceptual work.
for now, i leave you with some blurry teasers of my first real styling job. so excited to see the final product! it’s a 15-minute short film which will hopefully hit the festivals next spring!
the most beautiful moment of a 5 days shoot. dawn between the vineyards, overlooking vienna, glowing and glinting, a swing in the middle of a lighted field. pure magic
details are coming with high quality stills soon.

running away with the circus
this is one of my favourite editorials ever. it’s from french VOGUE march 2005. i bought the issue during my france exchange, and immediately fell in love with a then black-haired mariacarla boscono. not only is she herself stunning, but so is the styling and the atmosphere in the pictures!
i’m also having an intense love affair with anything circus related. or i guess i always had. coincident, i’m currrently working on the costumes of a shortfilm project, that is vaguely circus-inspired, so i’m getting decked out with neckruffs and all right now. be prepared for some stage-worthy outfits!
