Berliner

Marta Di Puccio shot last year these amazing photos, we were in the Berlin Central Station. Mainly we wanted to photograph this jacket, which I made sewing the bottom of a pair of Bavarian suede pants to a denim vintage jacket, but the Hauptbahnhof is so beautiful and sparkling that seems to have become the main subject,, thanks Marta and Martina, xx

The Action Weaver

Yesterday I went in the studio of Travis Meinolf, lately I wanted to use hand woven fabrics  and when a friend of mine introduced me to him  I was even more encouraged to develop my project. Travis graduated in Industrial Design, but after the master in Fine Arts in Textiles from the California College of Arts, his career went to a creative way and his performance of public weaving drew immediately the attention of many arts museums. The  photos above concerning the collaboration with the German artist Kai Althoff , for his installation ,at the 2012 Whitney Biennial, the Action Weaver made ​​shimmering woven fabric panels that served as walls for Althoff’s paintings.

Today Travis  heading up a  free weaving school, teaching in museums and schools, and making his own pieces as a public textile artist.

I’m looking forward to see the fabrics that he will make for me and to go back in his studio, even to talk about his ideas on the “true gift economy” where people can learn new skills and take what they need without the constraints of money,,, if everyone could put it into practice it would be nice,,,, source via

Reflections

One more pin up! My friend Arianna popped by my place a few days ago to fit this corset, made by me with leather and lace, and then of course, I wanted to take her a picture, maybe when I asked her to get to the window It was a bit overdone but we had a lot of fun ,,,,,, and the neighbours even more! kisses

Today I feel like a pin up

This is my friend Sarah Qaiser, that dressed up like this looks like a pretty pin up, I always loved this kind  of illustrations and comics and when I found this vintage tulle chemise, I could’ t resist sewing on some nipple covers, that I made with faux leather and thread tassels . vintage underwear . scarf  by Zara . ankle boots by Rick Owens . photos  by Maria Simon . make up by Sara Muhammed and Corina Smith, using MAC PRO & REN Bio-active skincare for Smack Ibiza . hair by Louisa Cooperusing GHD . styling by Luana Biondi  . from the top photo via . George Petty illustration via . Betty Page photos via . have fun! xx
