If Rosie Kent´s and Liria Pristine´s heads wouldn´t have flashed so über-blond and über-red, i certainly would have passed the window, the two were sitting in during a Berlin Fashion Week event. Instead of, I turned back and got enchanted.
Spreading both, a breeze of 20s Swing and water waves era and an urban cosmopolite-coquettish charm, Rosie and Liria, the heads behind Pristine Smut,  presented their unique knitwear jewelry on a table and on their necks, arms and heads. Knitted jewels to reallocate, to adhere and to drape - so far, always an aversion to me. Too much knit, too much volume, too much extravagance, too much attention.
But against my expectations, the knitted jewels draped on real woman looked great. Precious and covetable, yes, even really charming and unobtrusive. There was no sign of this absurd seriousness and hyper-artsy attitude that made me feel so uncomfortable with knitted jewels so far.
And so, today I am looking forward to present the young jewelry label Pristine Smut to you and I really hope, the two Central Saint Martins graduates Rosie Kent and Liria Pristine let lots of heads turn while sitting in that window in Berlin.

Berlin, Berlin - everyone has been in Berlin. Me too - but unfortunately, instead of attending the splendid shows and visiting some off-events i was running my feet off with a camera team. We were producing “The Zoo”, a spontaneous, modish question-answer banter on the streets of Berlin - a little online-show that will be aired in October (info’s will follow). Wistfully, I looked at the partygoers and show visitors that filled Berlin´s streets while I was practicing shyness-overcoming with accosting people and interviewing them in front of some cameras.
For a lucid intervall, i was running into Mary and Mahret, but unfortunately, i was in a condition of midsize confusion and on the run to the next location. For those who also missed the shows and events, I heartly recommend the reports and pictures on Pudri, f&art, Les Mads, La Lila and Allet ohne Schminke. From Smeilinener to Strenesse Blue, from Wedding Dress 3, Esmod Show and Elle Fashion Star Party - The blogger ladies did a great job and offer a fantastic overview on what was going on in Berlin.
