Tokyo Impressions Day 1…Tokyo, Japan

Here some impressions from my first day in Tokyo, wondering from Shirokane to Ebisu and then then onto Shibuya. Thank you for the great walking tours Ken.

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!!

Impressions…Blagovechensk, Russia

End of September I headed into deepest Russia together with my sister, brother, cousins and family friend and historian Lothar Deeg, to follow the footsteps of our great-grandfather Adolf Dattan and his life in Siberia. He was working at the Kunst & Albers department store in Vladivostok before the First World War, managed to grow the company tremendously and built various dependences around the Amur region.

Here some impressions from our first stop in Blagovechensk, where now the Amur Oblast Museum is housed in the former department store.

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
