The Future Mirror

Hey gorgeous!

I hope this finds you well!

I often walk through town and just love to watch how other people dress – especially elder ones! And I find amazing inspiration in it when they style  themselves in a unique or unusual personal way.

This is really a fun game to play!

I often take those women as a rolemodel and start thinking of how I will dress like and wrap myself up in maybe 20 or 30 years!

It´s like looking into a future mirror!

Would I wear a quirky dress like e.g. that 80 year old woman? Would I go for white hair or dye it purple? Will I still dare to wear a neoncoloured dress?  And will still I run around in golden shoes ?

Will figure still matter?

To share some inspiration I would love to introduce to you the stimulating blog by Ari Seth Cohen.

Ari Seth Cohen

It´s called Advanced Style . Ari lives in New York and this is his mission:

I roam the streets of New York looking for the most stylish and creative older folks. Respect your elders and let these ladies and gents teach you a thing or two about living life to the fullest. Advanced Style offers proof from the wise and silver-haired set that personal style advances with age.

Ari Seth Cohen has also done an awesome documentary about some of those wonderful women and you can find easily on you tube a trailer, which is worthwhile seeing!

What will your style be like in the future – will you still consider what other people might think of you?

I can tell you that much – you won´t bother anymore after seeing this documentary ;)

Have fun!

xoxo

It is such a sad story to tell – about the short life of Charlotte Salomon. Just by chance I heard of this german painter, who was murdered 26 years old at KZ Auschwitz 1943.

A friend of my daughter had to talk about her in school  and I was instantly fascinated. This young girl Charlotte painted in 18 months more then 1300 gouaches in an expressionistic style!

She used to live in Berlin Wilmersdorf just a few streets away from where I live – and in front of her house you find a „stolperstein“, a golden stone in the pavement to remember her and all the victims of the shoa. There are so many of those stones around here.

The 16th of April is Charlottes birthday – a good day to remember her and her wonderful paintings and not forget about all that suffering and sorrow that has happend around here.

Yes – I totally LOVE fashion! And recently I fell in love with this beautiful top by Designer J.W. Anderson:

The landscape motif is so captivating, I did a little research and found out, the artwork was made by textileartist John Allen (81)! I was stunned by his website: The way he plays with colours is so inspiring to me! I at once made contact and will do a designclass with him this August. I am so much looking forward to it! Have a look yourself!

Now as Jonathan Anderson is also designing for the spanish luxurious Label LOEWE, he did a stunning upcoming spring – collection, again using the exciting patterns of John Allen.

The pieces hit the stores in May 2015 – aren´t they are beautiful?

In the last picture down below you see the two Designers: Anderson and Allen.
