OMG, Pharell Williams, just saying...

The new campaign by Palladium, entitled Tokyo Rising, documents Pharrell Williams as he explores the city’s hidden treasures, interviews locals and uncovers an inspiring resiliency in Tokyo in the aftermath of the events of 3/11. The campaign is comprised of a documentary film short led by Williams, as well as a selection of images that capture his exploration into the depths of a rising Tokyo subculture.

Originally the maker of tires for military aircrafts, Palladium has been making boots for urban exploration since 1947. Embarking on the latest trek with its Fall/Winter 2011 collection, the brand was inspired by Tokyo’s majestic presence and cultural impact around the globe. Featured locations were chosen because of their relatively bottled magnificence and limited access, which the exploration uncovers. Descending into Tokyo’s “underground palace” that rests several stories beneath the surface, Tokyo Rising highlights a concrete example of the city’s ability to triumph through innovation and persistence. That same resilience is apparent in the campaign’s featured DIY spaces and art galleries, run by young locals who are willing to go the distance for Tokyo in the face of adversity. Through intimate interviews with artists including Ambush Design co-founder and musician Verbal of the Teriyaki Boyz and electropop band the Trippple Nippples, the campaign provides insight on the spirit of Tokyo’s creative class, showing their renewed commitment to the city and their vision for its vibrant future.

“I find great inspiration in Tokyo from the people,” said Pharrell Williams. “To me, the way that the Japanese people regard life and culture is completely unmatched. Tokyo is my second home and I jumped at the chance to come back and reconnect with friends during the exploration.”

Yet my favourite building in L.A. still is the Walt Disney Music Hall by Frank O Gehry.

Yes, I rarely attend the cinema, but you guys should all definitly go for "J'ai tué ma mère" (I killed my mother) which hit cinemas at February 3rd.

I was lucky enough seeing it already in 2oo9 during the film festival in Reykjavik, so I can just definitly recommend it. The only stream I found online has shitty subtitles so this is definitly worth it!

The film also features a bunch of hotties btw...

Who the fuck?

2011-01-20T14:42:00.001+01:00

We are used to fashionistas appearing as spoiled, upper-class girly girls, but we're are not used to them showing that off in proper words.

But so does Alexandra Kruse, columnist at 'DerZeit'-Magazine, the daily fashion newspaper during FashionWeek.

In her article of the first issue of 'DerZeit', published on Wednesday, she tried to explain why she's generally not very street smart.

Her “drama“ starts with the fact that our poor girl had to go by bus – and not taxi – from the airport to her hotel.

Quotation: “With sunglasses [just to mention, it's January!], a fur coat and a rolling suitcase, […] the Ferrari of suitcases“ she took this challenge. So anyone's still wondering why she's not considered 'street smart'?

In terms of simplicity she moved to a cheap hotel (117€ for 3nights) but then moved - what is stated in the second issue - to an apartment in PrenzlauerBerg after "suffering a horrible" first night. We don't get to know precisely what has been so horrible she couldn't stand.

Her article is emphasizing (and in fact proofing) the very fact, that everyone interested in fashion seems to be snobby and superficial.

It's an affront to those enthusiasts who are trying to make their way to the FashionWeeks of the world via the cheapest possible way, sleep on wooden floors at friend's houses and stand in line for hours to see a show, because they love to see and explore the ideas and work of other amazingly talented people.

To read Alexandra's article please go to www.derze.it and download the first issue as a PDF file.

Because as a matter of fact, I'm now possessing the fitting pants to that plastic top (found out it's 50% polyester and 50% so called "metallised fibre" what in fact could be any fucking material in this world....)

It's obviously too cold to wear those pants on this side of the globe now, but I can see awesome Bar25 nights upcoming! (This it is that keeps me from committing suicide right now!)

2010-12-28T21:16:00.001+01:00

But let's start from the very beginning.
It all started off with that porcelain horse at my granny's:

When I came across a simliar one at a thrift store next to Jimmy Woo Restaurant in Neukölln [insert restaurant recommendation here] I had to grab it immediately.

At home I was reminded of that "Capitano Spavento" by Anton Bustelli Gareth Pugh customised (among other designers) for the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactury.

That one:

So, while taping my little horse, trying to create an (easier) pattern to spray over it later on, i recoginzed, hey, kinda looks awesome with that silver foil (the only thing i had lying around).

I proudly present:

Anyone remembers Agyness Deyn? Haven't heard too much about our favourite model of 2007, no clue how her blog naag is going.

Anyway, gossip is not the topic here!

I lately ordered that fantastic RockyHorrorPictureShow t-shirt Aggy enhanced here quite a while ago:

So, as 80stees.com is not featuring any men's sizes for that tee(?!) I went for a Ladies XL, which turned out quite well apart from that I had to cut the sleeves. Not too bad, though.

This whole thing finds it's entity with Columbia who I stated in the very beginning of my blog in May

Jan Luyken, Calvinistic Iconoclasm, 1680

When Hedi Slimae first introduced "skinny" it was the year 2000. Now, as we come to an end of that decade (in fact, i guess the first decade of the 21st century already ended 2009, or?) it's defintly overdue and time to move on.

Luckily many people already do so, but to those who are still wearing especially skinny jeans (which i'm referring to here) are offered some alternatives right here, right now.

Personally I'd favour wearing shorts. Unfortunately that might be a little cold for wintertime. So, wearing some Long Johns or Leggins underneath seems appropriate.

Additional stockings, socks, etc. are very welcome. Layering moved from the top party of the body to the lower part!

As I'm aware that this seems a little daring for the "common user" (no offense!) I'm also proposing proper pants. They sit higher, nearly completely at your waistline, have a looser fit around your thighs (oh my god, I'd nearly say "baggy"!) and get skinny around your ankle again.

Even more, it's not only about jeans but cotton trouser with a high waistline are also a very convenient alternative. Small selection here: (a jeans smuggled in there, though...)

To finish this we'll now observe a minute's silence in commemoration of skinny jeans!

Amen!

The people of Fier Managment have set up a massive programme, so it seems they gonna keep us busy all night long with performances and fashion shows. Personally and most of all I'm looking forward to getting a little tarot session.

For everyone else who doesnt know how to fill sunday mornings (lets not talk bout Berghain, please) I have a tremendously good recommendation.
'Burma VJ' is a movie I saw back in Iceland during the Reykjavik Film Festival in 2009. It generally deals with the situation in Burma and especially with the riots of the monks in 2007 and is one of the most moving films I was able to see during the whole festival.
So now it happens to be available online at arte.tv. Take that time, its so worth it!
