AZUBIS

I just got an e-mail from my University saying that there is a special blog for all the students. I just looked at it and it's really cool. Students send in pictures from their work and reviews of the Fashionshows and stuff like that.

Here is the link.

I totally forgot to show off my new Glasses!

I have new glasses! I can actually see with them! I hate my contacts! I have a new ugly shirt! I got it from a big scandinavian boy and it was even to big for him. Haha!

Here's the dialougue between me and the saleswoman (D is for Dalia and S is for Saleswoman):

D: "I'd like to buy those glasses, please."

S: "Are you aware that those gasses are for old people?"

D: "Yes, but they suit me!"

S: "Please, try them on for me, I can't believe you..."

D is trying on the glasses and S stares at her with disgust.

S: "Are you sure you want to buy those glasses?"

D: "Still a yes, please."

S: "Okay...."

I don't think she sells alot, though.

Ze new hat!

This is my new hat. I made it myself. This was our first project at University. It's made out of a rather cheap felt (thus the first project, first time I ever made a hat).

Hat-making is rather easy, it's just very exhausting because you have to apply a lot of pressure and you have to be very careful because you have to apply much heat so that the felt is mouldable. Otherwhise you won't get the felt over your shape.

It was fun to make and I really love the outcome. That hat is on my head nearly all the time. If you ever get a chance to hatmaking I reccomend you to do so.

Also, I found these tutorials on how to make a hat at home:

• How to make Hat Molds
• Make a beret, wet felting
• How to make a bomber hat
• How to make a pill(ar) box hat

Like every other blogger, I have to.

So this is the new Spring 2011 collection.

I have to be honest and tell you, that I really was afraid the label is going to change completely. But it didn't and that makes me happy. You still see some clear Mcqueenness, though slightly softened (eg. shoulders).

What I think rather interesting is how all the pieces lay somewhere between Press-pieces and normal pieces meant for selling. Take for example the corn dress. Do you think it's meant for selling or for attention? Or the dress in the first picture. The only person who'd pull that off is probably Lady Gaga, though I'm not sure, these are her colours.

Anyways, Sarah Burton did a great job here and is continuing McQueens work perfectly.

Claudia Skoda is a german Knitwear Designer, she started her line in the 70ies, being part of Berlins punk underground-scene. She was the first one to bring Knitwear into High Fashion.

Her fashion shows in that time haven't been about some thin models walking down the catwalk, they were about performance. For her "Big Birds" Show she wanted the models to go to the zoo to look what birds looked like flying, so they could imitate the birds motions on the catwalk. To look up more on her Collections and her current Collection, go to her homepage here.

On that occasion I also want to announce that I'm officially a fashion design student from now on. I made it, I got in Fashion Uni, and that's why I've been absent almost all month. It was so much work, getting in, that I forgot about friends, family and blogging. I'm sorry, and I'm going to try to post more, now that I'm a fashion design student. I might also give you a little insight into the studies.

Random Photography

Manequinns at Central Saint Martins College.

These are the starting pictures for my collection I did at CMS in London. And my huge teacup. Luckyly I cought a cold just when the course started. My professors answer to the teacup: "I'd be pissing for a week if I drank all that."

Here's another picture from London. I was visiting the Maison Martin Margiela exhibition.

This is at V&A in London. Some little children were playing in the water, 2 seconds after that picture is taken it started to rain.

That's my friends and me last year at The Horrors Gig in Vienna celebratig Jasons Birthday (the guy from that Horrormovie).

This is hangning in my cousins kitchen in Berlin.

These are 42 bread dumplings (Semmelknödel is just a much better word, sorry) my sister made with my help for my grannys birthdayparty.

2 very stupid pictures of me wearing the Jacket (they're the only ones existing, please forgive me). The first pictures is taken at Beyond Retro where I first saw the Jacket but I didn't buy it, when I came back a few days later and it was still hanging there all alone I had to buy it!

The girl in the second picture is a very cool young woman from Barcelona whom I met at St. Martins College, where we took a course together.
