Impressions…Vladivostok, Russia
After Blagovechensk we took the night train to Khabarovsk and then onto Vladivostok. An impressive Russian city on the pacific, where my great-grandfather Adolf Dattan was running the Kunst & Albers department store until the First World War. It was such a fantastic trip, following the footsteps of of our ancestor and to understand more about his life and achievements.
Thank you also for everyone at the Arseniev Museum, for the private tour of the Kunst & Albers exhibition and through the city. It was so inspiring to hear more about Adolf Dattan’s life, to visit the former department store, the Dattan house and former dining hall he built, and to find out that he also used to produce fashion and porcelain for Kunst & Albers.
Thank you for everyone who helped making it an amazing and unforgettable trip!!

Marques Almeida AW19 Concept Show…Brick Lane, London
Here some impressions from the fantastic Marques Almeida AW19 concept show, which basically felt like a M’A family hang out. The MA girls were wondering around, had their make up done, took photographs of themselves and generally enjoyed themselves, while us – the family – enjoyed watching them, taking photographs and listening to the music. There was always a surprise around the corner – of course the fantastic collection surprised us too, with vibrant tie dye, cool acidic brights and pastels, fantastic layering, inspired cuts and silhouettes.
Have a look at the collection here.
Thank you Marques Almeida for letting me be part of your family xxx

Here are some impressions of Berlin-based artist Christine Hill’s recent opening of her show
“Attention Economy” at the Galerie EIGEN + ART in Leipzig. A self-proclaimed “stationery fetishist”,
Christine uses the event of her eighth solo exhibition with the gallery to consider the thinking structure of the artist, in a series of 26 drawings that are presented day by day. She also explores some Zeitgeist-like themes such as social media jargon, organizational trends, and indeed, our attention economy.

Marques Almeida Show AW 18…Leak Street, London
“We also get to redefine what being a girl is right now and I think that is really important.” Esmeralda, M’A girl.
At Marques Almeida they have a will and a passion to make fashion inclusive, diverse and relevant for girls and women today. Thats why each season they cast MA girls to walk the show, girls found via Instagram and on street casting and this season Marta and Paulo even got inspired by cues from the Instagram posts of their MA girls of things such as motorcyclists, Gwyneth Paltrow and Joseph Fiennes in “Shakespeare in Love”. Marques Almeida hope to empower generations of girls to do great things and feel represented and supported through fashion and many other ways. And they do know how to design clothes to empower us girls, feel ourselves, have attitude and express our personality. This season they also collaborated with fashion-designer-turned-artist Louise Gray, whose artworks and empowering slogans like “Power Woman” or “Open Your Own Door” popped up on oversize sweatshirts.
Congratulations Marta, Paulo, Rita and the whole Marques Almeida team for your vision and creation of this gorgeous collection!!!
Markus Lupfer Presentation AW18…Endell Street, London
“I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. I want to be light and frolicsome. I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing, as though I had wings” – Mary Oliver.
Markus Lupfer’s AW18 collection is a celebration of cash and contrast, of colour and texture: it pays homage to a girl who adores the eclectic, but wears it with elegance. She specialises in an effortless mix: a ruffle-edged lace blouse paired with faux-fur, a flower-encrusted belt; a sliver of sequin under a thick-knit scarf.
Congratulations Markus and your team for a gorgeous collection xxx

Markus Lupfer Presentation SS18…Floral Street, London
Here some impressions from the beautiful Markus Lupfer SS18 presentation. A sea of colours, prints, textures, embellishment and accessories inspired by old Hollywood glamour. Monkeys swing from dresses and blouses, sheer organza and transparent layering adds subtle seduction, while twin sets add a hint of retro. Sunglasses are softly coloured and glamorously oversized, embellished rainbows and parrots adorn the ankles and wrists and the exaggerated, embellished earrings are just a piece of art.
Congratulations Markus to a gorgeous feast of pleasure and excess!
Vladimir Karaleev Show SS18…Brunnenstraße, Berlin

Bravo Vladimir!!!
