Serving up faux fur creations with an irresistible sense of fun, London-based Hannah Weiland is one to watch. This young designer studied art history and textiles before launching Shrimps, so called because of her childhood nickname. The collection focuses on the idea of classic Breton stripes with a twist – expect supercharged color combinations and oversized cuts. The WILMA coat is the one not to missed!
Karl Lagerfeld definitely starts to have more fun at Chanel than serious work process. Maybe that’s good… But this time the Grand Palais changed to a huge super market, full of Eau de Chanel, Jambon Cambon ham, Coco cereal, Pink Tweed champagne and CC rugs… the models wearing sporty sneakers and bright clothes, were simply wandering around the market, buying food, ketchup and other daily stuff. But of course wearing Chanel! The idea is really funny! If every women could afford Chanel, then they would buy it even in grocery stores… talking of the clothes, nothing new came across the runway. Strong pink verses gray tweeds. Embroideries looking like camellia flowers and of course the shoes. That were in reality embroidered Chanel trainers that looked like Nike… and let’s not forget the bags. Packed in foil to be 100% fresh or carried in shopping basket? Your choise.
Singapore is the perfect place for great shopping. Full, full of Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Shopping Malls and possibly everything else, you can shop here till you drop. What’s more- at Prada and Miu Miu you may see even newer clothes than in Europe and US.
Chinatown is also a place to buy more than you have in your wallet. This nice, crowdy district is full of Chinese lampions, Made In China stuff and strange food. It’s pretty amazing how one huge cultural group fit on such small area! Really worth to see.
Wood Wood store in Berlin is a heaven for sneakers lovers. Really. You will find here all types of Air Max, Comme des Garcons X Converse, Gold Nikes and others under one roof! The stores is pretty big, with high shelves presenting coolest trainers on Earth. There are also some really cool printed socks and bags that perfectly match hyper hype shoes… And i simply couldn’t resist to not to buy Nike Air 180 German Edition with camouflage print on the sides. Soon I will post them too! This place is for all shoe-maniacs like me!
Acne is a Swedish label known for great denim, jackets and shoes that are always kept in a sporty but chic way. The Munzstrasse boutique of Acne Studios is a tiny space that has an amazing installation on the celling ( I think it’s a light bulb spider!) and a lightly constructed, pastel pink table on which the clothes are kept. My favourite piece was the AW13 shirt with this artsy print on… The Berliner style is just up here!
