When a raincloud bursts into tears and thunder into anger - Corné Gabriëls and his friend Storm
25. July 2008 Designers & Labels









“This collection is based on a guy named Storm. Showing the connection between weather and emotion, he symbolizes the more poetic side of it. When a raincloud bursts into tears and thunder into anger, Storm shows that he is only human.” - Corné Gabriëls

Janny from Hamburg, fashion designer, stylist and 50% of Superhorstjansen.
Hooded vest-dress: Superhorstjansen special edition, Sneakers: Puma, Getto-Wristband: bought at Bourbon Store in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
Janny was quite fun to take photographs of. She jumped and posed for me like we would stand in a studio and not on a public street - and while going crazy for my camera lens, she was still able to answer my questions about her label Superhorstjansen that became already pretty popular in Hamburg though being very fresh and young. I state: not only a sunny poser, but also a professional multitasker this girl ![]()

Gluejeans - Fashionfugitives latest coup
24. July 2008 Denim & Co, Designers & Labels



Gluejeans is the latest coup of the self-proclaimed fashionfugitives Gerrit Uittenbogaard and Natasja Martens. After coming up with unique mirror-masks and very-popish pincushions, G+N investigate the leg dress. Handmade and strictly limited, not sewed but glued - this is the idea behind the gluejeans collection that has been launched few days ago during Amsterdam International Fashion Week. Extensively tested for two years, Gerrit Uittenbogaard and Natasja Martens guarantee a high quality standart and long durability and besides that, the two designers also offer personal customisation of the glued denim beauties. In my opinion, a great opportunity for those who don´t want to buy the big labels off the peg and although I usually don´t fall into rupture when I see red seams, I have to admit that the eye-catching rough and irregular glue-lines really strike me.
Gluejeans are sold in selected stores, customised models are glued in the G+N Amsterdam studio. For more information click here.

When Coco Chanel opened her first shop in 1913 in Paris, no one would have been thought that this woman would become one of the most influential designers of the 20th century, a role model for the industrially expanding world and a precursor for female independence....
Don´t worry, What´s Wrong With The Zoo isn´t going porn - instead, I have a look towards south. To Munich, Germany. In the midst of the Glockenbachviertel, the AMEN Store doesn´t only hawk unique mirroring but also cares about the good style. (read on)
