If it`s today or tomorrow, next week or last month, Pieter is my daily requirement and one of my favorite  fashion bloggers although he probably might consider this as insult because he`s definitely not a fashion geek, but a design-art-culture-technology one, who often flicks a fashion segment i am interested in.

GARETH PUGH – Weekend in Paris was all about Gareth Pugh. Fast as the wind the catwalk pictures raved through the web and critics agreed: It was big. It was forward. It was hot.
Art and fashion – Gareth Pugh unifies it like not many are able to. No more words – others already used them in an excellent way. While I am still stunned and joyous, I recommend to continue reading about Gareth Pugh´s show here and here.

VERONIQUE LEROY – Veronique Leroy´s collection came way less gentrified and swank, but likable and wearable. Although the first attribute that popped up in my mind was “Too much Madame” in the second sight, I found pieces I really go for:
