January 2009 Archives

Constanze G. Gonzalez and Paul Scherer are the creative force behind the Berlin-based fashion label Scherer Gonzalez, founded in 2004.

The show was a mix of fairy tale nymph creatures fresh out of the forest, with the models wearing headdresses a mile high with flowers, twigs, and hair woven in between.

This was the first show in a long time where models were instructed to have fun and "act" out as if on a photo shoot at the end of the runway. This definitely pleased the photographers and was a change from the other fashion straight runway shows of today. The models clearly enjoyed each look as they paraded along the runway, glancing arrogantly in mirrors, hiding behind fluttering fans, winking, smirking, and flirting with the cameras.



Check out 360Fashion member, Sonny Vandevelde's coverage here.

360 Fashion speaks with Gregor Clemens about his work, the passion behind his work, in particular the extravagant diamond dress, and about the relationship between technology and fashion.

One of the most innovative and top fashion shows of the Berlin Fashion Week, H. Xan Koca is hot with metallics, stripes, interesting sleeves, and black and white.

The initiation of the winter collection are a selected few digital-portrait-paintings of the contemporary history.

The view of folded fabrics, asymmetric drape, round ample forms are well translated to the present and linked further. He says, "I'm feeling like an archaeologist searchin beautiful elements of the history, to create my own story."

The silhouettes are physical and flattering. On the one side, the slides are clear and concret, on the other they can only be guessed. Clearly dominated, by classic high-end solids coupled with natural contrasts, that leads an orientation in the avantgard.

hej hej hej

Hey there! Sorry for my scarceness....but I've been spending loads of time over at my boyfriend's place lately. :-D As a result, there isn't any FO or WIP pictures to show (yet). Sorry, but I've also been pretty uninspired to take pictures lately.

However, I'm not that uninspired to cast-on countless pairs of socks. Like I have mentioned in the previous post, I've cast on a pair of Boyfriend Socks for myself. I'm on to the second one now....but still haven't taken any decent photos yet. So, you'll just have to wait for the FO picture.

Yarnissima's Brainless is being put on hold while I'm working on the BF socks....just too much cabling for me.

I found out from my boss at Lanaiolo after I've finished my Riverbed silk socks out of the OnLine Silk that OnLine is discontinuing that line....or well, they haven't got it in their up-coming season. There are two other colourways (one of them being in the above photo, the other one is HERE) that I really like of the yarn, and seriously, I really like the feel of the silk blend yarn, too! So, what else is a knitter to do apart from grab them before they're gone. :-p (If anybody wants the yarn, we still have them at the shop - also in other colourways -....and you can order online via us, too. :-p)

Anyway, because the BF socks and Brainless are giving me too much cabling, I decided that I need to cast on for a simpler pair of socks and decided to grab the skein in the above picture and cast on for a pair toe-up Jaywalkers. Simple enough, but won't be too boring for me. ;-) Pictures will follow. :-p

So, talking about Lanaiolo, the second Knit-Night in 2009 is this Friday. Most of you that know the shop probably will be there anyway....but I think that we're pretty full already. Heck, give us a call if you want to see whether you can pop in. ;-)

Nobody expected such a bliss during Pitti Uomo, neither us and at the end everything has gone above every expectations. It seems market's needs are still searching for right products and here we are... welcome to meet uneeto, check us out!
