greek sandals 2007-03-16 19:19:00 The_Kitten posted this photo of Lily Cole some days ago. I love the long leggins and the transparent shirt (nevertheless the huge headphones). But the shoes really caught my eye (and not for the first time!).When I was younger I used to dance a lot and so I could remember easily where I'd seen shoes like that before. I browsed the internet for dance supply stores and found cute black leather "greek" sandals (also in large sizes!!!). They cost around 40 EUR...Credit: The_Kitten | Moderniteter and demi-point.de
"blog" vs. "f&art" 2007-03-16 17:57:00 Some weeks ago an anonymous reader was offended by my blogs title. Well actually I really don't care. Today Fashionologie wrote about Anna Wintour not liking the word "blog". I wonder what she'd thinkg about my "blog" called "f&art"? But whatever she'd thinkg I'm not going to change anything! Hey, do you know how the Editor in Chief of German Vogue looks like? Actually I really haven't got a clue...Credit: vogue.de
When Philip met Isabella... 2007-03-16 16:24:00 ...at the NRW-Forum Duesseldorf until April 9th. More Information. Philip
Treacy may be one of the most famous hatmakers worldwide. At least one of the most artistic. Je made hats for Madonna, Boy George and Goldie Hawn. This is the video of the vernissage of the duesseldorf exhibition. If you don't understand german, there will at least be a lot to see ;-)Credit: Vogue.de

What to wear to a wedding ::: part 01 2007-03-09 17:25:00 I got an invitations to a friends wedding
in may. Today I start to think about what to wear. Suggestions are always welcome!!! I've interpreted the dresscode as "semi-formal daytime" so I'll go for a short dress or skirt and blouse and heels. Since my budget is quite limited first stop will be ZARA (fair prices and cuts, but also bad quality...).I've found these stylings online and I already have a trenchcoat, so buying bag, dress and heels wouldn't be that expensive. I also liked both blouses. Especially the blue one. I love the cut an print...Credit: zara.es
Accessory Report: Balenciaga 2007-03-09 16:54:00 I really really love these Balenciaga
heels. They somehow remind me of Playmobil, Lego not to mention (Ice) Hockeyor American Football. I'm really looking forward on how these shoes will be worn in public and if the Olsen twins are going to replace their witch boots!?See the whole accessory report here.Credit: style.com

Dance, See 2007-03-08 23:34:00 I've seen a really good exhibtion at the Museum für Gegenwartskunst Siegen today. Dance
, See is a project by young art students of the Siegen University. Combining art didactic and art historic elements the students worked out an exhbition on Dance as theme in fine arts.In this revealing exhibition dance is explored from the fine arts perspective of the 1960's to present. Questions asked are: what impulses and ideas do the fine arts garner from dance? What are the specific interests that the fine-arts-artists pursue in this dialogue? At the same time, basic choreographic positions are included in the observation. The exhibition then traces the history of the seminal co-operations and mutual inspirations, but also of the parallel developments in performance and conceptual art and their mutual interest in general anthropological, cultural, and popular forces. Among the many different aspects followed up on in more or less detail are: the separation of dance movement from its tradition
paris fashion week last but not least 2007-03-06 22:02:00 John Galliano I really enjoyed John Galliano's show. It was real theater. Especially Sasha Pivovarova's underlined puppet like appearence (as usual!). Enjoy the whole collection here.Vionnet It was a low key appointment only presentation... That means no runway and is something I would love to go to since it seems to be much more personal and you have the time to take a closer look. These four pieces caught my eye. Especially the volomunous coat.See the whole collection here.Miu MiuWho's going to sport this exact styling first? Just like fashionologie is I'm totally attracted to this "Carditard" and the shoes she wrote about.more.Collette DinniganThat's exactly how I survived this winter, Huge scarfs, light summer dresses and thick over the knee socks and somehow the people still asked "aren't you cold"? Yes, slightly but, who really cares if it looks good?See the complete collection hereCredit: style.com

Jean Baudrillard... 2007-03-06 21:09:00 ...died today. The cultural theorist, philosopher, political commentator, and photographer died in Paris today after suffering illness. His work is frequently associated with postmodernism and post-structuralism. I'm really sad to hear about it since some friends of mine published a magazine on his "Simulacrum" thesis recently. He somehow was present the last couple of months and even (I hope I'm not wrong!) wrote an article for my friends magazine!? Well. we all are getting older and more and more (famous) people around us are dying... Uh that sounds quite sentimental, doesn't it?Actually Baudrillard
is still on my reading list. Read more about him here. He definitely is/was one of the most important theorists of our times and a must read for every deep fashion lover (who's interessted in why thing are the way they are or seem to be...).Credit: grlucas.blogspot.com

how to make your own latex catsuit 2007-03-06 00:21:00 Have you ever thought about making your own latex catsuit? I've found this instruction while googeling "latex catsuit". It's quite funny written... Please send me some picture of the procedure if you decide not to buy your latex leggins online (or are afraid to visit your local sex shop), but to make your own. Good look!Credit: tacit
paris fashion week 06 2007-03-05 23:36:00 Stelly McCartneyUi. I'm up to date with the new sweat pants I bought on friday. So far only the heels are missing. But I'm working on that. Did you realise that shopooing shoes on ebay.co.uk is so much more efficient? more.Haider AckermannAs Diane Pernet mentioned earlier Haider Ackermanns collection was one of the "strongest" this season. I totally agree!The last photo somehow reminded me of my latex session ;-) Yeah. You need help to pull them off especially when you need to be fast! Now I totally understand why things like this exist! Different story. See the whole Ackermann collection here.Alexander McQueen Sometimes I just haven't got much to say.

germany's next topmodel 2007-03-05 21:59:00 well. I haven't got a tv, but thank god there's youtube and many committed fans who upload single episodes. I've just finished my first episode (season 02 started last thursday) and I'm absolutely exhausted. As ususal none of the participating girls has what it takes to be a "real" (whatever that means!) nyc milan paris london catwalk model (maybe one or two?), debates on too fat/too thin are emerging in daily german newspapers and so on...Well it still is a lot of fun to watch when Heidi Klum tells a girl that "it won't be easy to start a model career having a two years old child" or "you are too thin. Do you eat?"... Alright, this wasn't meant to be a post on pro's and con's of model casting shows I just wanted to share my favourite candidates (hell what's so hard to walk on catwalk properly????). My personal top three (Enyerlina, Mandy and Milla). See them all hereCredit: prosieben.de

hamburg part 03 2007-03-05 00:56:00 There're so many things to do that I somehow don't have a minute to finish blogging about my hamburg trip, although there were many important and interessting things happening there. Day three started with an exhbition at the westwerk at an old factory located at admiralitätsstraße in the center or hamburg. See the whole documentation here.After that I met Max who just has finished his internship at the Sammlung Falckenberg located at the Phownixhallen at Hamburg-Harburg (just across the street where Mohamed Atta had lived, which was quite scary indeed!). Well. The private collection of contemporary art by Harald Falckenberg is huge and very interessting. He built his own private museum sponsored by the Phoenix company who manufactures rubber (as part of continental). Max showes us around on a sunday afternoon. Normally you have to have an appointment to get inside, but we were free to walk around and see all the things we wanted to see. Special about this private museum are rooms
and the latex story is... 2007-03-04 21:18:00 ...neverending. Here are some more pictures of my latex photo session this morning: 1. brown wedge leather pumps | black latex stockings | black tulip dress by ZARA | vintage fur vest 2. same as 1 with cropped jacket by H&M 3. black latex stockings | dress by H&M | Cardigan by H&M). I still struggle with which shoes to wear. I'm trying to buy some block heeled black leather pumps like those for some time now (size problem!)...

new boots? 2007-03-04 21:02:00 I've just won these two pair of leather boots in ebay (both around 35 EUR). I hope at least one pair will fit (and I hope it's going to be the pair above, because they haven't got a zipper and a crocoleather like bootleg which looks kind of interessting). For a shoe addict my feet are ridiculously huge (US size 11) and so it's always hard to find fitting shoes. Ebay always is a possibility but still it happend so many times that shoes arrive and don't fit (once they even were too big!). So this time I bought two pairs and maybe I will have to resell just one pair!?There're really cute red peep toe pumps on auction, ending tomorrow...
paris fashion week 05 2007-03-04 19:44:00 Well. Fashion week is over, but not for me ;-)AkrisI'm applying for a job right now and if I get it (will start this october) I'll have to take dressing more seriously. Akris for me is the epitome of classic feminie style and definitely something a young, stylish teaching person in university should wear in front of her students. Don't you think? See the whole collection hereDries Van Noten"Dries Van Noten has an almost tribal following of faithful customers who unconditionally love and buy what he designs, season in, season out [...]." Well I'm not one of those persons, althought I ♥ Dries and always am excited what's next. This's times wedges reminded me of orthopedic shoes, the ones one has to wear if one leg is shorter than the other ;-) moreGivenchy Absolutely NOT my kind of style. Although Riccardo Tisci had some white jazz shoes on runway the ones I'm in desperate search for (first thing to do tomorrow - H&M!). Unfortunately no close up. But via an anonympus reader I'v
the latex instruction 2007-03-04 17:04:00 Hussein Chalayan wasn't the only one who showed latex (?) leggins | stockings in his aw 2007 collection, as already mentioned before. You can see the whole collection here.Today I pulled myself together and took some photos of me wearing my latex stockings (I prefer those to leggins, becaus since I'm really tall "normal" leggins are somehow short and more like 3/4 pants, which I don't like. Stockings also have the advantage that they have feet, which sometimes looks better than footless pants!), which I pretty much love but somehow never wear, because they're a little bit unpractical! As you can see in my pictures it is not easy to pull them on and later off again. Be sure you order a specifical powder which you put on your legs to pull the pants/stockings on easily (you shouldn't cream your legs and somehow - also if it's a little bit strange - it's better to pull them on without freshly shaved legs!!!). Don't be surprised that your pants aren't as shiny as seen in the pictur
I'm not a plastic bag 2007-03-03 23:36:00 It really was about time...Germany is one of the "greenest" countries when it comes to environmental protection. Eco here and eco there, Diesel cars and garbage seperation... You have to buy a plastic bag
in grocerie stores you'll never get one for free and that's why many people don't forget to bring their shopping bags made of linen or whatever...As already mentioned I'm a real sucker for cool cheap bags. And this bag definitely is cool and cheap. For only £ 5.00 it's a real bargain and that's why it's already sold out, although it hasn't been for sale yet!? Unfortunately I'm one of those who were too late and so I have to hope for a restock. Lily Cole already has her bag, but that's no wonder! Please check anya hindmarch's site regulary for bags available to pre order.Credit: anyahindmarch.com | ebelle5.com

sometimes we all are just... 2007-03-28 16:41:00 ...romantic little ?%&/§)$s Anyway. I'm just a little confused that my mothers favourite movie is "Pride and Prejudice" based on Jane Austen's novel with Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. Do daughters come some much after their mothers? I could watch the newer version (2005) starring Keira Knightley and Matthew McFadyen over and over again. My boyfriend has left for a week so I can hang on the sofa eating chocolate and watch it over and over again...wtf??? I just realised that the movie also has a NORTH AMERICAN ENDING??? Oh. I've always watched the British version and there's no kissing in the end! What a shame ;-) But as far as I remember there's no kissing in the book!? Actually I think the real "no kissing" end is much better!!! Let's keep it real. Noone ever kisses in Jane Austen's novels! It all happens in your head afterwards and that's what keeps it in your minds and lets you watch the movie over and over again ;-)
Blogging about latex... 2007-03-28 15:52:00 ...gives your blog popularity. My blogstatistics register many visitors from east european based latex fan forums like rubberdroid.spb.ru, latex.one.pl and eurolatex.ru. I simply don't understand polish or russian and I am not registered (and don't intend doing so), but very curious what they write about my latex photos and this blog...I've written about Claudia Rose Lukas' spring/summer collection some time ago. She was very pleased about it (I ♥ blogstatistics!) and send me some photos of her upcoming aw 07 collection, which also contains... what? ... LATEX!!! I wonder how the readers of foto_decadent could possibly call the Irina Lazareanu editorial for Sleek magazine by Terry Richardson as uninnovative, while they use the most innovative material of the next season!?Credit: things.twoday.net
