as i was feeling in my veins without any sound proof in hand at the first place, i knew that grunge was making its way back into fashion... now having seen nearly all the fashion shows (Paris fashion week is about to finish as if this moment) i've seen some signs of grunge at a couple of designers showing in Milan and London... i guess grunge will take an upturn of being more romantic and girly with a twist of neon colours and dramatic styling... an another alternative would be on the other hand, as there usually is the other side of mirror to a trend, darker and more pessimistic approach that would celebrate the underlying influences of grunge music in a more "let's honour Seattle" way!

but then again i could be wrong too! we'll see that later on!

2009-09-26T12:07:00.003+02:00

i think grunge is going to hit it for the upcoming seasons... i should say it now so at least i ll have proof... there i have said it!

trend to watch: grunge revisited!

(not sure about the plaid though!)

If you go to Paris go and shop at Kiliwatch in a very cool disctrict close to the Etienne Marcel metro stop.... The area is packed with streetwear brands and boutiques and the street in which there is also Kiliwatch is a must see; Rue Tiquetonne. The shop has a unique style offering vintage clothes (and a hell lot of them seriously) and brands like Numph, Cheap Monday and April 77. But hey even if you don't go to Paris in these days check their website since it is another must see.

we danced together

2008-02-13T21:42:00.012+01:00

as i thrive not be a heartless person while i'm listening to a beautiful song ("We danced together") by the Rakes, i wanted to celebrate (!?) valentine's day with a warning to all of you out there;

Stand clear of hazard areas while your engine is still running!!!

keeping that in mind, u can now enjoy a tasty portion of an article i happened to like:

"Of all the festival days to be gift-wrapped and shipped back to us wholesale from America, Valentine's Day has got to be the worst.You can guarantee that all the bars and restaurants will be packed with couples slurping at each other, clutching sweaty hands and oversized teddy bears with love hearts on their tummies. I can't decide whether it's worse being attached and expected to partake in the schmaltz, or single and surrounded by it all."

2008-01-15T22:09:00.000+01:00

back in 87

thats what we all should do! because it's contagious! so stop reading this blog, stop checking your facebook or writing meaningless "thanx for the add!" comments on myspace... thats why i am leaving this machine right this very moment to remember the untroubled times when there was no internet at all in the 80s (maybe only MS-DOS or Commodore) while u look at the lyrics from Le Tigre's song...

It feels so 80's
Or early 90's
To be political
Where are my friends?

(Get off the Internet!)
I'll meet you in the street

is there life on mars?

2008-01-14T01:35:00.000+01:00
