Ryan Roche

May 29, 2015 | Design & Culture by Ed

Ryan Roche is the go-to label if speaking of luxe knitwear. Her fabulous AW15 look-book is filled with a perfect amount of fleecy cardigans, fluffy dresses, warm socks and cloudy v-cut sweaters. Roche works predominantly in a palette of pinks lovely enough to seduce even the most pink-resistant people, with an eye for wearable, tonal dressing. The New York-based designer perfectly masters the “chic-everywhere-I-am” look – Ryan’s knitted piece could be worn with grace by a fashion journalist just like by a rural loving woman. Ryan Roche is the name, which should rather be added to the list of new favourites!

Christophe Lemaire / Advent 2014

December 14, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

December 14: Christophe Lemaire got big plans for 2015- he left Hermes to expand and concentrate on his own label, Christophe Lemaire. The eponymous label is known for luxurious approach, best quality cashmeres and wool, simple styling and comfortable day-wear. Lemaire also brought a major trend to AW14: wearing your second sweater knotted around your neck is not a big deal anymore, it’s just the matter of good taste. Can’t wait what this French guy is going to introduce next year!

Berlin: Schumacher Love

July 28, 2013 | Design & Culture by Ed

The beautiful Schumacher boutique is located in the Quartet 206 building, next to stores of Moschino and Brille 54. But first of all, what is Schumacher? No it’s not one of these not popular Parisian labels or something else this type. It’s super famous German label that is known for beautifully made clothes in pretty low prices! All German women have something from Schumacher, and it’s on the level of Miu Miu! Schumacher is design by Miss Dorothee Schumacher, that as she says, designs clothes for women to be completing their looks. Totally agree because every women wering this Berlin based label looks stylish and warm. Just as their woolen sweaters and beautiful, cute dresses. Plus, it is not copying famous designers like Givenchy nor Prada- it has it’s own style, with cute prints and colourful stones attched on the collars and scarves! And this boutique over here is definitely the best of all- with a characteristic Schumacher wallpaper showing their circular packaging boxes, and warm, simpatic pastel colours used on sofas and chairs. Additionally, the service gives you some free Schumacher water! Friedrichstraße 71 in the Quartet 206

A.W.A.K.E.

Street style icon and fashion editor Natalia Alaverdian delivers a fall collection that’s as experimental as it is wearable. Having already taken her style savvy from the street to the runway, we can only guess that her next destination is your closet. A.W.A.K.E, that this season was inspired with Edinburgh and Scoland’s traditional prints and materials. The classical checks on dresses and beautiful knitted 3-D sweaters with a goats head in creme colour. It all looks very comfy and warm, just perfect for Scottish winters!

From Rome With Love

April 19, 2013July 1, 2017 | Design & Culture by Ed

I’m in Rome for a while and I have a real spring blast! Flowers, warm weather, art, beautiful architecture… So Dolce Vita! On the Spanish Stairs the flowers already bloomed. It’s so warm I just can’t describe it! On Via Condotti the Prada and Dolce Gabbana already have new fresh windows… It’s just amazing. And the buildings around… These religious details and paintings on the ancient walls of houses, fruits, greenery (this building that is whole in leafs is mind blowing!) and lots of orange around. My favourite colour!
