All of us have to become thirty.
And it´s not as horrible as it seems – they say. My friends, my acquaintances and my colleagues. “With thirty, life just begins”, “You´ll take everything more relaxed”, “Sex will even get better”. And you become more beautiful and so on and so on.
Break.
Thinking of the big thirty, inside of me, it´s shouting for post-youth-depression, varicose veins and peau d´orange. So it´s great to see, that they age with my. My early loves.
And they haven´t been always male – they also have been made from canvas. They were for the brave. “Only for the brave”.
And they went directly from the Christmas wish list into the wardrobe. I was proud. I was 14. Different rules. Different live. Â Farewell cuteness. (more…)

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)
