Romanian model Andreea Diaconu shows off Schumacher's Spring/Summer 2010 Collection in Bebelplatz, Belin
Reading Russian writer Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s (1918-2008) semi-autobiographical work Cancer Ward, I found a passage that reminded me of the finesse beauty of Schumacher’s Spring/Summer 2010 collections, especially the boat-neck shirt with the sparkling lips motif, which we wrote about a month ago.
“Her smile was kind, not so much as the lips themselves. They were vital, separate lips, which seemed about to flutter from her face like a lark into the sky. They were made, as all lips are, for kissing, yet they had other more important work to do: to sing of brightness and beauty.” – page 79.
See Schumacher’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection yourself online at My Theresa and in KaDeWe Berlin, Harrods and Lane Crawford.

Schumacher's Collection For Spring Summer 2010 Is Kissed All Over
What says passion and love more strongly than… well… big fat kisses? It is no doubt that German designer Dorothée Schumacher used this very motif to convey her intense fervour for the fashion industry in order to celebrate the 20 glorious years she has served us. Available at My Theresa are her kisses-besieged collection for Spring/Summer 2010. Sophisticated, strong, feminine yet funky are words that come straight to mind when we see her collection. However, surely what makes us fall as total victim under her love spell is its absolutely unequivobly timelessly romantic style. Purely fantastic!
Presented in the picture above are Schumacher’s sleeveless silk top with contrast black shoulder strap (€269,00), boat-neck shirt (€119,00) and last but not least draped skirt (€298,00). All available at My Theresa.

A daunting yet delightful collection from Playhound by Greyhound
When people talk about Thailand, the word “fashion” rarely comes to mind; and that certainly makes it all the more special to learn about this terrific Thai fashion label – Playhound by Greyhound. The brand’s philosophy mixes the main line’s chic and contemporary, simple but never boring style; and adds a touch of youth and experimental attitude to the clothes to make it all the more irresistible. For fall/winter 2009, the three pieces I absolutely adore are the shoes with the bone-chilling X-ray vision of the foot showing each individual toes in detail; the tie with the print of the beautiful texture of age-old trees as well as the tie with the bloodcurdling X-ray image of the arm. These pieces, for me, is worn at its best with the song X Ray Vision by The Maccabees blasting on the speakers. Creepy is charming, no?
Playhound by Greyhound is available at Seibu in Hong Kong, Traffic boutique in Moscow and Paris, Opia shop in Zürich, Fourstore in Berlin and Tjallamalla in Stockholm.

It has been a strange day today without you. We simply do not know how to react. We are shocked and we miss you so much! The sun is strangely shining oh-so-brightly above us today.

Lamella Bag from Kaviar Gauche
I am still not sure whether I like the Spring/Summer 2010 bridalware collection from the Berlin based fashion label Kaviar Gauche; but I sure do like the sight of their lovely Lamella bag. I love the special radiating lotus-leaflike structure. I find it rather delicate and I think it really stands out from the pack of traditional handbags. Presented in the picture above from left to right are Kaviar Gauche’s lamella bag made by calf leather (419-499 EUR depending on size) and mixed leather (450 EUR). All prices include 19% VAT.

Kilian Kerner Spring Summer 2010
Upon first inspection, Kilian Kerner’s show with its all glittering glam rockness might seem like a Germanised replication of Gucci’s Frida Gianini’s mentality; but the show the young German designer put up last July during Berlin Fashion Week 2010 certainly exhibits his unique style and broadcasted that gilded vision all over the world to bring us Kerner’s drop of illuminance.

Anna Kuchkina For Schumacher Fall Winter 2009.10
I have a soft spot for the sublime Anna Kuchkina, so I am not surprised when she together with the gorgeous Ieva Laguna scored this editorial called “Soft Schades” in Schumacher’s Fall/Winter 2009.10 magazine.

Not every dress has a pocket... this one certainly does not!
Whilst going through a certain security czech check point at a certain larger-than-life airport:
Man 1 says to me [in German]: “Please check your pockets for coins prior to proceeding through the gates.”
Man 2 replies [in German]: “But she is wearing a skirt!”

Glamorous Gucci Soldiers On Display At Galeries Lafayette in Berlin
Really liking Gucci’s Fall/Winter 2009/10 collection – even more so in real life! Every season, whether it is by Mr. Ford or Ms. Giannini, when I see their stock in the display window, it just moves me like a big surf. This season, it is fierce and glamorous! A combination I cannot say no to.
Gucci?
Yes, please!

Joop lookbook
Before I came to Germany, I have never ever taken notice of Joop! – the German label, which focuses on modern timelesss classics; but now that I have three whole catalogs/lookbooks in my hand, I am totally in love with the label. I cannot see anyone else on the market who can do monogram or conspicuously put a logo on something without irritating me and Joop! can, because Joop! does it so subduedly. I am hoping to get some jewellery from Joop! of course!
