JOOLS HUNTER ♥

2012-02-02T03:18:00.000-08:00

yesterday lovely ella aka jools hunter (check out some of her great songs here) was in town and dropped by our office. the plan was to shoot a polaroid pic of her for the upcoming issue of monki magazine. well apparently it's really not very clever of us to still shoot real polaroids, the film seemingly wanted to surprise us with some "special effects" ...

here with schmelmo. you can't tell on this picture but schmelmo wears jools' chain with bird pendant, the bird's name is franz

and here two of the other spooky shots

BREAD & BUTTER AND THE BEAR

2012-02-01T11:51:00.000-08:00

now that we're already talking about montgomery ... a few snapshots from berlin still:

meeting blutsgeschwister designer karin ziegler

at blutsgeschwister montgomery wanted to eat their complete trade show booth decoration

...

at lacoste he had some rest

...played hide and seek with his magic vegetables...

... got to know a bambi ...

and fell for the ultracute sleepy lacoste crocodile logo 2.0

at lambretta he dreamed of falling in love with a long-haired boy that would look good in this shirt

at kangaroos he got all hungry

... shortly overcame the feeling when he saw some dead animals on display ...

but it quickly came back

you may ask:

what's your point?

what does all of this have to do with fashion?

where are the trends?

sorry, no idea.

NEXT NAKED LEG SEASON

2012-02-01T06:25:00.000-08:00

holy sh**! minus 10 degrees - when (if ever) will it be warm enough to go bare-legged again?

ever since seeing this picture we're wondering if it's time to try some actual heels instead of sticking to our strong belief wedges are the only acceptable "high heel" ...

seeing the new s/s shoes humanic presented this morning we felt THIS would be the perfect one to give it a try this summer! combined with a neat pair of socks of course:

why the cucumber you may ask...?

or the leek??

...tomato, ...

and the magic mushroom??

it has to do with a small bear called montgomery...

"fuck, where did i put my magic vegetables?"

WHEN SHOW OUTDOES FASHION pt1

2012-01-23T14:43:00.000-08:00

right, they didn't call it fashion show for nothing. so this actually is the only way to present gloves: as black spots in a row of can-can dancers!
"do you like my tight catsuit?" at michalsky style night in berlin last week the crowd sure enjoyed the craftmanship of the roeckl items displayed. it goes without saying: all true fashion experts ...

♥ SKY FERREIRA ♥

2012-01-23T09:08:00.000-08:00

sky and montgomery at the hugo show in berlin last week. talking to her/seeing her face to face we can confirm: yes, she looks like the prettiest ghost you've ever seen!

WE LOVE/VISIT/READ: SALON CLAUDINE

2012-01-23T04:41:00.000-08:00

a kiss for bunny munro: INDIE and material girl fashion editor claudia is a downright cheerful girl during office hours, once blogging on her salon claudine her soul sometimes turns as black as her hair though.

skinny tattooed boys, hungover models, cigarettes, greasy hair, smudgy make up, black, white and a great song with every post: this blog has everything a girl needs!

what do you dream of doing when you're old and grey?
i'm dreaming of becoming an old man with a grey beard, going to iceland and breeding some ponies there. or of moving into an old villa with all my girlfriends where we'll dress in floor-length gowns and have an endless fountain of gin&tonics in the garden.

what defines a good blog in your opinion?
the drive to tell something to the world out there. to have a voice and to use it. to love words. not to be ashamed of guilty pleasures. and, most important of all: don't take yourself too seriously.

what is the last book you read?
"let the right one in" by john ajvide lindqvist

if hollywood made a movie about your life, whom would you like to see play you?
charlotte gainsbourg.

what makes you angry?
nothing. i'm such a hippie at heart.

please complete:

i have this weird habit of ...

singing along to every single song i hear. in made-up lyrics. even to songs i don't like at all.

if i were an animal i'd be...

a panda.

bloggers are…

funny, boring, interesting, lame, witty, old-fashioned, crazily obsessed, lazy, avid of new things, gossip-loving, jealous, in love. preferably everything at the same time.

2012-01-16T04:09:00.000-08:00

we're going to berlin for fashion week tomorrow and one of the things we look forward to most is partying with sophia! moving back to germany a while ago this lovely INDIE author and djane (tigeress djs, http://tigeressdjs.tumblr.com/) left a huge gap in vienna. thanks to her fantabulous blog oh, sophia we're at least able to stay updated on all the most important things going on in her life. may it be her breakfast, a burn from her curling iron, which of her breasts she likes better today (regular updates with picture) or her taking the reader along for interviews with the artists she meets writing for various international magazines.

summarising: we thank sophia for this very rare blog phenomenon of just being herself whatever people may think!

what do you dream of doing when you're old and grey?

living on a carribean island, where there's no winter at all, sitting on the beach, eating exotic fruits and looking back on an adventurous happy life, not regretting one fucking day.

food you're addicted to?

all kinds of thai food, especially curries and soups, lindor chocolate, champagne (oh, it's not food)

which super power do you like to have and why?

as i am a trained voodoo priest and able to actually fly (only at night) i am quite happy with what i have ...

what's your favorite city and why?

there are so many, it's hard to pick one, but I really fell in love with havanna and want to go back there, it's magic ...

when you were a child, what was your dream job?

i think i wanted to be an actor, then a pastry chef and then a rockstar. at that point I tried all of that a little bit ...

please complete:

i can never stop myself from ...

being silly

i would never wear …

jeans

if were a fruit, i'd be …

WE LOVE/VISIT/READ: SMILE AT YOUR SISTER

2012-01-10T07:39:00.000-08:00

lucky for our INDIE/material girl/monki mag artdirector daniela - running the magnificent blog smile at your sister - we sent this little bloggerfriends interview via email. it was easier for her to answer this way even though she is sitting just two office tables away. why? the poor thing lost her voice last week on a press trip snowboarding in davos (all about that soon to follow), yes, we feel very sorry for her, very sorry indeed. no wait, it really is pure jealousy. and the jealousy grew even bigger when we saw that daniela owns the one picture that every girl would love to have of herself: a cover image of wendy magazine, the infamous compulsory reading of every girl in love with horses.

photo by marcel koehler

what are you really good at?
i'm really good at spotting deer in the woods.

current favourite song?
years around the sun – the summer we raised you
it brings me back to the ocean wherever i am.

if someone wrote a biography about you, what do you think the title should be?
sometimes you have to be your own hero.

who do you like more: jerry or tom?
i never watched tom and jerry but i would always go for the cat.

what would be your first thought if you found out you had won the lottery?
i won?! even i don't play lottery? i'm such a lucky girl.

please complete:
i can never stop myself from buying …
beautiful handmade zines.

you will never ever catch me wearing …
a high waisted anything.

if i were an animal i'd be ...

LUCK IS LIKE A BIRD

2012-01-02T03:22:00.000-08:00

since it's a new year and we all wish for tons of luck for 2012: forget those lame pig lucky charms - a famous old viennese song claims "luck is a bird" (it's hard to catch and flies away so quickly) ...

maybe that's the reason for our current obsession with birds and why the pen has been drawing more and more of them the last few days. in any case, for you: birds, birds, luck, more birds - may it be an awesome megayear3000, for you and all your pet friends!

whatever you wear tonight, remember: it's the last outfit of the year, but more importantly the first one in 2012! (and we would like to share a secret about every girl wearing a short shiny silver dress tonight - it's a secret they haven't yet figured out about themselves: they're boring.)

REAL BEST BUY 2011

2011-12-31T06:34:00.000-08:00

how silly! just realized what a stupid answer i gave for the "best buy" question in lesmads' 2011 retrospect questionnaire. it was no piece of clothing of course, it was the greatest thing you can buy for money. ever:

HALLO of course!

born in june this tiny tiny little fella ...

turned into one big cuddly babytiger by now

so how is hallo doing these days? we wouldn't know, we have real difficulties finding out WHERE hallo is most the time!

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE RIGHT MOTTO

2011-12-31T06:14:00.000-08:00

we would have loved to record a video message to wish you a great new years eve and an awesome-dude 2012 but after receiving this (personal!) video message from vivienne models we know we couldn't ever be able to do a better job. so we just join their message, because we know about the secret power of the right motto for a new year.

unfortunately this motto is almost impossible to translate for non-germanspeakers, but you can try with "everything i do i do with joy." (well kinda).

a.m.e.n.

THE WAY WE WERE AND THE WAY WE WILL BE

2011-12-30T08:02:00.000-08:00

we're even too lazy for any kind of 2011 retrospect (despite all the extremely valuable nonsense posted) but katja invited me to take part in their annual lesmads questionnaire about the dying year and the one to be born so very soon ...

in case you're still stuck with your family and people around you started to get a liiittle annoying, DO escape by looking through old family photographs from the fifties and sixties. once you see how cool and chic they used to be back then you'll start appreciating everyone much more.

some of the treasures out of my father's family photo albums 1953-1969, (for example right below my grandfather and father on the queen elizabeth when the family emigrated to the united states):

THROUGH ROSE-COLOURED GLASSES

2011-12-22T07:40:00.000-08:00

oh and now that we're talking about the last pressdays crumbs - a pretty thing that we got back in berlin: did you know mykita already turned 8? they published a supernice book to celebrate the occasion

they collaborated with a bunch of very interesting contributors. like our favourite illustrator for monki magazine ever: lina ekstrand, ...

installations by sarah illenberger

photographs by billy&hells

or mikio hasui

and a series of beautiful dream-like photographs by mark borthwick

not to miss in anything by mykita: a good dose of bernhard willhelm madness

PRESS DAYS PET-O-RAMA

2011-12-22T06:55:00.000-08:00

cleaning out the last pressdays bits we still found. pets, cute stuff, silly stuff and schmelmo stuff.

cuddly friends by jeremy scott for adidas

swarovski always gets us with their hello kitty thingies. no point in fighting it ...

again: why do kids always get the coolest shoes? by vans ...

and these by camper. A GIRL CAT WINKING AT A BOY CAT, AAAH!!!

if you need a jumper to reeeally cheer you up, choose one by lin

at esprit they invited all press people to make a wish for their polaroid wall

nail polish, time for shopping, new haircuts - fashion journalists have a lot to wish for

schmelmo got to make a wish too

what he was wishing for?

by the way, schmelmo would like to move to berlin. in case anyone can offer a place for him to stay ...

OUR BLOGGERFRIENDS: ♥ KATJA / LESMADS ♥

2011-12-21T11:34:00.000-08:00

if you - like so many - dream of having her job: forget it, pure horror! miles of to-do-lists, 24h working days and if you ask her about christmas (or any other kind of ) holidays she'll surely get a laughing fit. since katja schweitzberger took over infamous and superduper lesmads.de a few months ago she probably hasn't slept or cut her fingernails. so we're very happy she found the time to answer our little bloggerfriends interview and even took a pet picture for us - with lesmads colleague mimi!

what do you love about your new home berlin? And what do you dislike?

i love that you can buy food and drinks around the clock. i dislike that it is nearly impossible to find a flat in kreuzberg right now.

what defines a good blog in your opinion?

passion, authenticity, continuity

what are you really good at?

spending endless hours on the internet to find cool stuff without ever getting tired or bored of it.

if you could look like a different person for a week, who would it be?

mariacarla boscono

what do you dream of doing when you're old and grey?

having my own pastry shop to make people happy with the sweetest but probably not the cutest pastries in the world. i am not really good at decorating cupcakes, cookies and stuff but I love to do it.

food you're addicted to?

avocados

current favourite song?

SBTRKT - go bang

please complete:

i can never stop myself from... buying anything with leopard print

i have this weird habit of... not carrying handbags when going out and losing all my money at the end of the night

i look stupid wearing... kneelength skirts.

if i were an animal i'd be... a tarsier.

MAGIC CARPET

2011-12-21T03:31:00.000-08:00

people constantly make fun of this magnificent wearable woven carpet, but surely they're just jealous of it's irresistible eco-chic!

vintage of course, as well as shirt and fur boots. flower shorts forever21, cat mask by angel jackson.

spooky shimmery roman statue faces hidden in the vintage shirt. should so pretend it's versace ...

TODAY'S DON'T

2011-12-21T02:57:00.000-08:00

DON'T spend hours loading that statue with the creepiest living-dead eyes on a truck right in front of my office window, i can't focus!

argh, it has to go, now!

HELLO FROM SWEDEN

2011-12-14T16:18:00.000-08:00

oops we forgot to tell you, we're in sweden til friday to masterplan the next issue of monki magazine. so please excuse two days of more-or-less silence. a tiny bit to keep you entertained and get you into bad habits: a video of monki magazine covermodel mae lapres. we've never seen anyone with a bird on his/her shoulder smoke a cigarette cooler than this.

reminded us that we still had that snapshot we took of mae in paris at an empty and sad fashion week party a year ago. with a shoe attached to her jacket. having things on her shoulder seems to be a reoccuring theme ...

this could develop into our next serious girlcrush. we'll keep you posted.

MAC IS SO CLUMSY

well they didn't forget peaches geldof, jade parfitt, tara ferry, holly fulton, mark fast, louise gray, bip ling, or fred butler and many others who were all attending. how very annoying!

by chloe, who only shares this much information about herself: "I'm chloe and I think too much. I'm 16 and I live in london :)"

something to believe or not, doesn't make any difference, this page always gives us the feeling of this world being an amazing place full of wonders and dreams and colours. next time you're out of lsd - this works just as well!

another rainy december day - perfect to wallow in memories of back when curry cat went to see the biennale in venice on its very last day.
arriving there, the other cats seemed suspicious about the new cat on the block ...

curry cat had to admit, the neighbour was the most compact cat ever

"the world how it's supposed to be" thought curry cat to herself passing by this artwork by alessandro gallos

burano swans

though he seemed like a bit of a poser, curry did admire this dog's handknit sweater.

thanks veronika stabinger for the pictures!

DO fall in love with whiskey!

we know this is a surprising thing to say for heavy drinkers such as us but we were never too keen on whiskey. now ruthie was invited to a dinner and tasting by jack daniel's.

oi, now she loves that stuff.

tasting all different kinds they produce

plus really delicious food cooked using jack daniel's. the apple crisp was especially made by lynne tolley, great-grandniece of jack daniel himself and special guest at the event.

and you know what's rather funny? five whiskey cups on your tasting tray telling you to drink responsibly!
