Berlin: Andreas Murkudis

November 8, 2013April 29, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

Andreas Murkudis store in Berlin is definitely not the one that you will find in a shopping guide. I found this place thanks to Instagram, and I am really happy that I was there! The store is located not directly on the street, but in a stone house center. The walls there are pale white with neon lights all over the place. Labels like Celine, Margiela, Dries Van Noten, Kolor and Aesop are all in this huge space! And by the way… Not on perhaps, I arrived at an amazing fashion show of young, Berlin based designers, who were all here because of Woolmark reward! The gowns, sweaters and everything there was so out of this world… Just have a look at this very artistic world located in one store on Potsdamstrasse 81E.

Munich: (My)Theresa Store

August 10, 2013August 10, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

Munich is a great place for visiting, not only because of the great museums and monuments, but also for superb shopping! Today I will show you my three favourite places up here! And, if you want to see what is in stores, just see the labels on my Pages footside!

If you are familiar to on-line shopping, you for sure know the German site Mytheresa, which has all the coolest and luxurious labels in one place! As the site is based in Munich, there is a store called Theresa that is like a real world shop! Well, it’s really good for health after shopping online… Theresa store has the hottest shoes in their accessorise part, like Prada booties or Louboutin high heels. Labels like Miu Miu, Celine, Saint Laurent, Altuzarra, Alexander McQueen and Balenciaga will be found in a warm, huge space, covered with pink velvet… Its a REAL, not virtual, fashion paradise! If only Net-A-Porter had it’s real store…

Munich: POOL

August 10, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

POOL Munich is the biggest hotspot for fashionistas… But, sorry to say, but it’s not as good as in past. Now they invest cheaper luxury labels like, everything is very teen and just “hot right now”. But, still I like it! Nowhere else I would buy a Marcelo Burlon new collection T-shirt! The interior is cool, artistic and minimalistic. So, it’s a good place for shopping, if you want to catch up with today’s trend, and on the next day… Forget it.

Munich: Maison Martin Margiela

August 10, 2013August 10, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

So, my first favourite place is Maison Martin Margiela boutique, hidden as always from tourists. All in white, with surrealistic furnitures and with mirrors around, you shall see the Moleskine cotton paper notebook and beautiful “things” like shoe candles and ink pens. But, the coolest are of course clothes! For women I found most shoes and bags exciting, and at mens the fur coat stole the spotlight. The service was very nice, and soon you will see what I bought! P.S. I still have white dots behind my eyes of that intense colour use in the store! 😄

Saint Laurent Boots

August 3, 2013April 30, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

For two months I am a number one fan of Saint Laurent AW13 collection by Hedi Slimane. I am in love to death with the California grunge inspired looks full of checks, leather and mini dresses. And these LA musician influenced boots are like the best thing in the collection. But why the #%^*@ are they so, so expensive? Hey, 5685€ is alright? No, not Hedi is mad Cathy Horyn, but the person that is dealing with commercial part for SL. These boots with the “DIY” decoration are beautiful, but not for 5000 and more euros. But, Slimane thought of more normal people and created the cheaper version of these boots for 1500€- without anything special. Just black, normal grunge boots. This is not same effect, but what shall I do? Still cool… 😋😋😋😋
