I am an Instagram maniac and I openly confess that I spend too much time on filtering my feed. But it’s irresistible, when you have so many great accounts to follow! If you’re ready for a dose of beautifully curated walls, inspiring photos and delightful shots – see my November recommendations!

@hobomag / This very ‘normal’ photo of Tilda Swinton, taken by Juergen Teller, is the most striking thing I’ve seen for months on Instagram. No explanations needed!

@marrakech_brooklyn / Who doesn’t love an eternally chic mood-feed? The one curated by Paul Rowland is my latest favourite, with some great Debbie Harry S&M / Lauren Hutton in mud moments.

@robbiespencer / Robbie Spencer is Dazed & Confused Magazine’s creative director. His Instagram feed is solely dedicated to his work. He posts rarely, but when he does, you just want to ‘bookmark’ each post. Whether it’s Lily McMenamy in a Balenciaga couture gown and Robert Quinn’s houndstooth body or Junya Watanabe neo-punks, Spencer is one of the brightest minds behind London’s fashion scene.

@haleywollens / Haley Wollens is a stylist, who doesn’t necessarily want to style the editorials in the most ‘safe’ way – the looks rather disturb, than please the advertisers. Also, she works with Chloë Sevigny, dressing her in Saint Laurent and Y / Project. That’s quite a match!

AND, if you want to follow one more account on Instagram… why don’t you follow, ta-da, @designandculturebyed?

 

Café Henrie

This place used to be a garage owned by a hot-dog booth. Now it is the most fashionable address in the Lower East Side. Café Henrie in the newest initiative of André Saraiva, a famous graffiti artist, who for many years has been a soul of Parisian parties and fashion events. His projects include the design of seductive Hotel Amour and chic Castel Paris. And then… he found out he needed a place in New York, where he could drink a delicious cup of coffee. Just a few steps away from his studio.

The interior reflects André’s eclectic aesthetics. There are the timeless benches of Jean Prouvé which for years have been collected at the Parisian flea markets. Pink neons designed by Petra Collins hang in the toilets. Colourful, ceramic vessels designed by  Peter Shire (one of members of the Memphis Group) are a good reason to take an Instagram-perfect picture. Café Henrie is constantly changing and the owner regularly invites his favourite artists to co-create this unique place.

And yet, Café Henrie is not only about its interior. It’s the food, and the signature menu of Camille Becerra that stands behind the restaurant’s success. Favourite dish of  New Yorkers?  „Dragon Bowl“, a bowl filled to the rim with avocado, herbs, pickled veggies and garden salad. Vegan nachos served with mysteriously called sauces (such as Beet Tahini or Gentlemen’s Relish), „Persian” meatballs or tea-and-ginger chicken are only some of the menu’s delicacies that attract everyone at Henrie.

Thanks to Chloë Sevigny herself, who is a frequent guest and a friend with André, Café Henrie is a cult spot. But at the same time, this place seems to be one of the most laid-back in the city, far from the turmoil of fashionable districts.
