Long overdue that Miguel aka Spanier, who`s the better half of me and photographer for many posts on What`s Wrong With The Zoo and Sounds Like Me, appears live and in color.
For The Zoo he talked with me about after work hats, Premium-Cola and Nike-sins. Check the video here.
„It`s, looking for someone who has something to say“.
This came promptly and condensed. Even two weeks after I interviewed Diane Pernet for Two for Fashion, the answer on what makes fashion still amazing to her after all these years in the business, sticks in my head.
I don`t want to know how many times Diane Pernet had to answer this question. But what I definitely know now is, that there`s nothing wrong with passion for fashion, a dedication for blogging and the commitment to consider fashion a meaningful part of our culture. It doesn`t mean you necessarily are a random red carpet fashion chick.
While others might go for the bling and for the glam, Diane Pernet goes for content. And this attitude, combined with a clear sense for fashion and design probably makes her one of the most influential independent fashion bloggers in the world. (Read on after jump) (more…)
What would you say if I would paint some lame advertising for my blog the wall of YOUR living room? Would you think I’m clever and respectful? Or sympathetic, serious or even smart?
I bet you would send me packing.
So why do you spam my blog with dumb SEO comments to promote your third-class shops, your fake Rolex-Gucci-Prada-whatever products and websites neither me, nor my readers, would ever be interested in?

VONROSEN is a young Berlin-based luxury label i worked for some months ago.
It`s all about classy chic and wowing high-quality materials and has definitely nothing in common with vulgarity or shabby-tackiness. But for prude YouTube, it was still too hot. “When your style does the job” got banned…??!!?? (more…)

Anyone out there who doesn´t know the Dove campaigns with “real and authentic” woman? Probably not.
The Dove brand communication concept of using “normal” woman instead of professional models for every campaign was once pretty fresh and innovative and is still a strong one. I mean – it works and it´s pretty sympathetic, isn´t it? So, on first sight, the video, directed from Tim Piper for Ogilvy, in the context of the Dove campaing for real beauty is a stunner.
But way more embarassing is the visual reinterpretation and conceptional re-coding Rye Clifton did:
He put both Unilever brands, Dove and Axe, together and contrasts two completely different images of woman, (more…)

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)
