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

Happy New Year 2019…Berlin, London, Corralejo

Firstly a big thank you to my wonderful friends and family, the people I met last year who let me take their picture and to all of you, who enjoy following my blog. 2018 has been a year of change for me, where lots of signs did show me to change direction and to make room for something new. Gladly I did follow my intuition and thats why I am even more excited for this new year and the new beginnings it will bring. Stay tuned for more to come.

I wish you all the Best for 2019, stay healthy and always follow your heart.

Lots of Love Anne

 

Thank you!!!…London, Berlin, Copenhagen

I got to say, I am very ready for a new year to start. It’s been a good old rollercoaster that 2016, with David Bowie leaving us for an alternate universe, then Brexit and then…yes you have all seen the chaos unfolding this year.

But there are also plenty of things I am grateful for: all the friendship and love in my life, great and exciting job endeavours and that I can lead a life being creative and expressing myself. And thank you to all the amazing people I met this year and had the pleasure of photographing for my blog. I believe now it’s the time to express who we are, stand up for ourself and what we are passionate about. Let’s be expressive!

I wish you a wonderful, happy and positive New Year 2017!!!

Markus Lupfer Presentation SS17…Eversholt Street, London

“Around the whole world People are the same everywhere: They are different.” – Paul Hartal

Markus Lupfer SS2017 collection is a celebration of individuality. There are no rules. Nylon raincoats wrapped around feminine ruffle dresses, jewelled sneakers, hand-drawn bunny and cats for prints and apple shaped sunglasses celebrate fun, liberty and personality. A fabulous set design, with flowers breaking free from the hard floor, adds to the atmosphere. Congratulations Markus to a fabulous collection!!!

 

2014 Review…London, Berlin, Tokyo, Kyoto

Somehow this year did pass even faster then the last one. Probably because I travelled a lot, met so many interesting people, started a new job at Stylus Fashion and generally had a lot of fun.

I see my blog almost as a visual diary of what inspires me and I am grateful, that you all have been following me! ‘Thank You’ to everyone I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing this year!

 

Karen Women’s Organisation Day…Mae Sariang, Thailand

Firstly a big thank you to my friend Rachel King, who is currently in northern Thailand working with the Karen Women’s Organisation. She took these beautiful photos on the yearly KWO day celebrating their culture and heritage. The theme of this year was the traditional clothing of Karen women. They are gathering knowledge about all the various styles of clothes as there are many different groups within the Karen ethnic group and the styles of clothing change. They organised a competition on the day and each woman had to explain where her clothes were from and the meaning of the different colours, patterns, etc. even the seeds sown onto the cloth and the strings hanging from the cloth have meaning to the Karen.

The Karen people are one of Burma’s major ethnic groups, living mostly in the mountainous eastern border region and central delta area. For over 60 years the Karen people of Burma have been resisting political, economic and cultural suppression and human rights abuses by the Burmese military regime. Since the 1970s the Karen people have fled across Burma’s many borders to escape the persecution. The KWO is a community based organisation active in all seven Karen refugee camps along the Thai-Burma border and in Karen districts within Burma working for women’s equality, empowerment and freedom, whilst supporting the Karen community to maintain its culture and identity.

Clerkenwell Design Week…Farmiloe Building, London

This week was Clerkenwell Design Week in London. A great event to see new Design, contemporary furniture, lighting and accessories. I had a good browse through the Farmiloe building and here you see what caught my eye.

Brands to watch: WorkHouse and its collection of furniture, tiles and lighting with an honest, raw and contemporary edge. Duffy London and its UP coffee table giving the impression of a glass table being suspended by balloons. Viccarbe and its 70’s inspired Maarten chair by Victor Carrasco and the clever folded Origami inspired Aperture lamps distributed by Luminosity. Yet my favourite the “This is not Bauhaus” lamps by Servomuto in collaboration with LEITMOTIV who provided the fabric for the creation of the lampshades. Bauhaus’ pure geometrics and baroque’s excess of decoration find an unusual match full of contrast.
