An oldie but a true goldie is this Cleptomanicx cagoule which brings joy in the rainy days. When dry, it`s simply grey, but when the fabric is exposed to water, illustrations by Hamburg-based artist Stefan Marx become visible. I like, i like.

Eleven years ago, Bent Angelo Jensen started with a vintage suit rental service, today, he`s one of the most talented German tailors who raises eyebrows with mixing traditional cuts with modern class. Based in Hamburg, his label Herr von Eden dresses urban dandys, excentric bohemiens, artists and everyday guys who never have imagined to ever change their jeans-and-sweatshirt-look.

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.

A dead town only likeable and livable for uncritical Disneylandish culture-consumers, for moneygrubbing estate-speculators and for those tasteless thinkers who consider branded-spaces sustainable, urban environment.
HAMBURG HAS A PROBLEM. On Sounds like Me, i wrote more about this political dead-end situation and the riot of Hamburgs “creative class”. Read here and support there. Photo by Miguel. (more…)
