Home maker

I’ve had a cold for pretty much all of this year it feels, which means I have spent far too much time holed up in my tiny flat. This has resulted in a flurry of redecorating, moving stuff around and buying a huge amount of vintage and retro pieces. I’m a huge fan of amazing online shop Shelf who sell the most fabulous ceramics and homewares.

And they say fashion isn’t art

I am a huge fan of Parisian artist Jeanne Detallante whose delicate illustrations have been featured in fashion magazines like Vogue.

Just waiting for my moving in date

Stylist and shoe designer Eilsa Nalin has got the loveliest Paris apartment. I just adore her colourful, kitsch and vintage-influenced deco. Not even mentioning the best shoe collection I have ever seen. Jealous? Me? Hm…

Ciao!

I am off to Italy for my holiday, thank God, I so need a break!

I’m all over the place today

I’ve started blogging for Danish denim label Only. Have a look at my fellow bloggers’ style tips.

I always knew it would end in tragedy

I love these tragic fairy tale character photos by Dina Goldstein.

I need you

As I’ve mentioned before some time ago, I’ve started editing a new daily glossy vintage magazine called Queens of Vintage. Ideally we would like to publish great pictures of vintage wearers from all over the world.

And that’s where you come in! Do you wear vintage and want to be featured in QoV? Or do you fancy a bit of street photography and want to snap some vintage wearers where you live? Or maybe you live in an amazing place full of vintage interiors you would like to show off? In any case, do get in touch! Email me at stylehighclub@gmx.com

Note to self: must get next French Vogue

I love the amazing pin-up style calendar in next month’s French Vogue.

Terrorism chique

From the urban dictionary:

prada meinhof
	Descriptive of those participating in political causes or campaigns who see marches or demonstrations as an alternative fashion show with themself as the main model. “I see one of those globalisation campaigners is wearing Jimmy Choo shoes. How very Prada Meinhof. “

On one of my google tours I came across the London based Prada-Meinhof Gang, who have turned the iconography of German terrorist group Baader-Meinhof into a fashion/art thing. Boring. Using handgrenade and AK47 prints as a marketing tool? Yawn…

Terrorism and counter culture have been in fashion for ages, think Che Guevara T-shirts and PLO scarves. They are meant to give you that instant ‘I’m left-wing, I’m with the revolution’ credibility but to me they just make you look like a mindless twat…

What do you think? Is terrorism cool?
