Visual Diary Update #4

Two pictures taken from my Visual Diary representing my two recent trips.

Bits And Bobs #60

Oversized Sweatshirt by American Apparel

Sometimes all I need is a comfy oversized sweatshirt. I have lots of stuff to do for school at the moment plus it seems as if there is nothing blog-worthy happening at the moment. Is the fashion world seriously on a break? Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places. I decided to re-blog this photo from my Visual Diary taken back in March when I was literally wearing that sweatshirt that whole week. For photo enthusiasts: Leica M6, Summicron 50mm, Kodak Tri-X, mirror.

Bits And Bobs #59

Shirt by COS, Flannel Overshirt by American Apparel, Trousers by Topman, Vintage Straw Hat & Shoes, Glasses by Moscot

It was really sunny last week in Zurich and it was finally time to leave your coats on the rack and put on my straw hat for the first time this year. In spring, sunny doesn't equal very warm so you still had to layer a bit and I really like this flannel shirt by American Apparel for that. They even stepped up the design with nicer looking buttons than on previous shirts. These oxford shoes are the ones I was talking about in my previous Bits And Bobs entry. They are from the 50s and I found them in a vintage store in London in one of those streets at Seven Dials.

Streetstyle Selection #11

It has been almost three months since my last Streetstyle Selection entry and fashion week is always the best time to collect them. I was a little overwhelmed by the number of outfits when I looked at my Google Reader folder. I like all the various maxi skirts in this selection and as usual what inspires me the most is how they combine colour, pattern and different fabrics. You can see all my previous Streetstyle Selections at once here.

Institute for Fashion Design Basel Gradute Show 2011

The graduate show 2011 of the institute for fashion design in Basel took place a week ago and it was the first time I had the chance to attend. I was already impressed solely by the size and organization of the whole event and they surely do not have to hide from any regular fashion show. You already kind of notice how much money is involved and what prestige it must be in Switzerland to graduate from that school by looking at the long list of sponsors. There were 18 collections in total from all the graduates. The overall quality and finish of the clothes looked impressive as far as I could tell from my seat and you could sell them straight from the runway. Most of the clothes looked rather futuristic (in a good way) and more or less wearable. Wearability shouldn't be a criterion for a graduate collection anyway though. Shini linked me an interesting interview about this subject matter between Cathy Horyn and Louise Wilson (director of the M.A. program at Central Saint Martins). Here are my favourite looks from the show and I would love to hear how they compare to graduate students from your city or country.
