Late summer strolls along the Seine…


Finally a new post … OMG why does it always take me such a long time to prepare a proper post? Anyway here we go. We are currently in Paris and lucky enough to enjoy some late summer evenings. And is there anything better than a stroll along the Seine banks while soaking up the afternoon sun? Probably not – not even when the thin soles of your Miu Miu ballerinas are almost killing you … Continue reading

Fendi bag bugs 2015 are they kitsch ephemera?

Fendi bag bugs 2015 – seemed to be one of the hottest themes in the streets during fashion month just a few weeks ago! However, Financial Times fashion editor Jo Ellison called them “… an accessories line of kitsch ephemera that has gained a cult following among street-savvy-girly types “.

Isn’t it tolerable to wear something “cute” as a grown up? Does wearing such a bag bug scream please don’t take me serious I am a teenager in a woman’s body?

Fun Fur – Fendi Bag Bugs

Oh how much I love these little witty creatures! Did you know that its already 2 years ago that Karl Lagerfeld created these cute monster fur balls called Fendi Bag Bugs for the first time? I liked them immediately. They reminded me of my childhood when I loved to pick a plush toy charm from Nici, a German brand that is very popular for doing a lot of incredibly cute plush toys, to attach it to my school backpack as a lucky charm. When it started to get torn by carrying it around I put it inside the backpack, but it stayed. In many ways the Fendi Bag Bugs represented a deluxe version of that lucky charm for me.  So the idea is great isn’t it! It catches our attention with those childhood memories and puts them in the context of our grown up world! But was it enough to make Fendi bag bugs last?

Fendi Karlito charm …?!?!

Fendi made quite a hit with its monster face bag charms which were presented on the fall 2013 runway for the first time. For spring 2014 a new and even cuter edition was launch and until today those little frightful fur balls still manage to capture the attention of street style photographers during fashion week. But Karl Lagerfeld would’t be Karl Lagerfeld if he would rest after one hit – For fall 2014 a new Fendi “It-bag” charm simply called “Karlito” was presented on the runway and decorated the purses of many couture week attendees…

Trending for 2014 – bomber jackets

OK, the baseball jacket/ MA-1bomber jacket/ blouson style jacket is not a new invention. Initially is was invented back in the 50ies for the air force pilots and found its way into the rave culture during the late 80ies and 90ies. Besides that it is a symbol of American Rock’n Roll, think Grease. For summer 2014 it is seen frequently in the collection.  A trend that seems to continue into fall too.
