The quiet guy brought noise to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Last season, Patrick Mohr let the homeless run the way, this year, he called the he bodybuilder friends of DJ Hell to set up the stage called catwalk.

Brought by pushcart, the models gave a bizarre look with fake hair, breasts and teeth and clothes made of plastic and stunt kites. Boulevard called him Enfant Terrible and titled Freakshow, but at the end of the day Patrick Mohr is neither a fool, nor a fashionisto provocateur – he`s just a fashion designer who goes for rectangles and quadrangles and created simple T-Shirts, tops, jeans, pants and glasses so far.

Unisex. Unobtrusive. Highly wearable. And…surprise, surprise…payable.

Showtime seems to be his into-the-face tool to push the name, while businesstime is about fairness and service. Buyers praise his quality, prizing and ordering options, customers love his moderate price segment. Neither a freak, nor a fool, but a great entertainer and label to wear – This is Patrick Mohr.

If you´re born as a Brenninkmeijer you don´t need to worry about perspectives and career at all.
Some gumption and a premium education will open the floodgates to the top and if you´re not acting dumb, the question of economic survival is not yours.

Alexander Brenninkmeijer knew about these “born-into” advantages, when he started his training in the family enterprise C&A and took the first international career steps after a master program. It could have been kind of cuddly in between the nearly 150 years old company with long tradition and the young Alexander Brenninkmeijer. (more…)

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) (more…)

Dearest readership, my near and dear one – my night was long! And beautiful!
And yes, because of fervor and passion. NoNoNo, not what you thing..tsstsstss…
It have been the four big “L” that gave me that restlessness.

La Lila and Lea Loves.

Coming home from a concert in the middle of the night, I ” just wanted to check my Emails”.
But when I read the comments from La Lila and Lea Loves, two passionate fashion bloggers from germany, it was time to read, watch, read and watch. (The girls both write in German, so dear foreign readers, use Babelfish to read the texts, but anyway, the pictures are also worth to watch.)

La Lila´s Blog is one I constantly read because she´s also living in Hamburg. She has a taste for fashion and music and it´s pretty interesting to know about her live, the events she visits and the fashion tips she is giving. The girl is into the know and besides that, she seems very sympathetic. That she wrote a very smart “Blogwatch” post about What´s Wrong With The Zoo touched me. We all know that sometimes it´s hard to know if what you write, what you select and what you photograph is interesting or bores people away. So…La Lila, I thank you soooooo much!

Lea Loves. was the big unknown for me and turned into the surprise of the night. Like La Lila, she´s into all kind of things, young creative woman are: fashion, style, music, films, art and life.
Because of the smart writing and the well chosen themes, time goes by very fast by reading her blog.

So, my dearest readership, my dear and near one – now you understand, why it was worth to get only a little amount of sleep. The four big “L”´s just rulez!

The story of lassy fair – narrated by Norbert Julian Kober
„You are a storyteller? Fine. You know, my jewelry is also telling stories” said Sabine Zechner at our first meeting in a bar in Munich. For any length of time I had been keeping track on her on that evening. That bonny woman, short red hair, giggling jaunty laugh. I desperately searched for a reason to accost her. The reason shouldn´t be silly and I started to give her compliments for her necklace and pendant. Above dark jersey she was wearing a fine metal ring with small rings and leaves. “Is there a happy end in your stories?” I asked gawkily . “No, I don´t make a point of happy endings”, she hesitated, “but the beginning of the story should be happy”. My fingers were shaking, when I slipped the money for two glasses of wine to the waiter.

This was the beginning.
Much later I experienced that she designed that extraordinary jewelry herself. That the two dogs in the lassy fair logo are her dogs and that she was “laissez-faire” in life and in love. Liberal, noble, free, urbane, only in bond to her heart and full of great stories”.

…mmmhhh sounds like a love story, doesn´t it?

Well, Munich based designer Sabine Zechner makes it easy for all us to fall in love with the cut-out narrative jewelry.
No matter if it´s the sleeping beauty or Hansel and Gretel, the two king´s childs or the golden goose – the lassy fair pieces are affectionate, unique and ravishing.
You wanna get one of these wearable narratives by lassy fair? No problem. Check out Hokohoko, Musthave and Shopwindoz.
