Saw this - and I just LOOOVED it! How amazing is this?! OMG! Nothing more to add. More to be found at FUCK YOU VERY MUCH.

The Brits seem to go insane about streetartist Banksy’s new movie “Exit Through the Gift Shop”, at nearly every corner in London you find its movie posters these days. Anyway, let’s see how it will work out in Germany when “Exit Through the Gift Shop” will come to our cinemas this spring.  The movie is billed as “the world’s first street art disaster movie”, and described by organizers as “…an amazing ride, a cautionary modern fairy tale . . . with bolt cutters.” Banksy itself quotes: “My ambition was to make a film that would do for graffiti art what ‘Karate Kid’ did for martial arts. A film that would get every school kid in the world picking up a spray can and having a go. As it turns out, i think we might have made a film that does for street art what ‘Jaws’ did for water sking.” Humble, but I like.

Stumbled over this at the blog of our friends from Parasol Island and just had to re-post it: The film was created by photographer Andreas Larsson and shows the Acne Autumn/Winter 10 Denim collection. Beauuutiful!

Ladies, ladies, ladies! Just a short reminder: EVE WITHOUT ADAM, the new online-platform for women from all over the world ist online NOW!  If you haven’t checked it out yet, please do so quickly.

As I will stay a few days in London the upcoming weekend, I started to read pretty attentively as I caught the words: Maison Martin Margiela. Exhibition. London. Unfortunately, I will have to show patience as the exhibition ‘20′ will take place in summer, starting June 3rd. Somerset House will host Maison Martin Margiela ’20’ The Exhibition; celebrating 20 years of one of contemporary fashion’s most influential and enigmatic designers. Following the success of recent exhibitions ‘SHOWstudio: fashion revolution’ and ‘Skin and Bones: parallel practices in fashion and architecture’ this unique exhibition will explore the designer’s artistic and conceptual approach to fashion and continues Somerset House’s commitment to showcasing the world’s most celebrated creative talents across fashion, art and design.

Conceived in close collaboration with Maison Martin Margiela and curated by the Mode Museum, Antwerp, this exciting show makes its London debut where it will be specially reconfigured for the Embankment Galleries at Somerset House, following critical acclaim at the MoMu, Antwerp and Haus der Kunst, Munich last year. Ok - maybe another good reason to come back to London again in summer.

…I’d rather fell in chocolate! This is what singer & multitalent Larissa says at her brandnew blog larysays.com - which has the most STUNNING startpage I’ve ever seen on a blog! The sweet lady will be writing about all the things that make her happy or sad, as she is telling us. Guess, the amazing videos on her page will definitely make us happy. Big up, Lary.

Voices of fashion screaming loud this Saturday in Düsseldorf: In collaboration with designer Bitten Stetter, ♥-store Ela Selected is presenting “Fitting Tales”. “Fitting Tales” is, as they describe it, a textile publication, a fairytale book and a showbag rolled into one. Opening the bookbox the reader dives into a world with loving concern for detail; each clothing, each accessory, each product to be found in there is telling a new, different and exiting story - for all those who are willing to listen. Are you willing to listen? Then follow the voices of fashion and visit Ela on Saturday, 6th from 11-16h at Hohestraße 16. Designer Bitten Stetter will be present in person as well.

…but I’m pretty sure this one will also pull the one or other guy! On the 17th of February sweet Mayra from Berlin and her ladies Michal and Mirna are launching a new webspace called eVe without adam. Apart from the usual magazine & news area, eVe without adam will give women all over the world a platform. The platform will be a tool to express their own personal female aesthetic, feelings and perspective views. For the start there will be 21 bloggers, all women, all living in special places of this world. Of course this number will increase in the future! In addition to the blog area there will be an insider city guide called EDEN, representing all cities, in which at least one of the bloggers are currently living - from Berlin, to NYC, Barcelona, Ibiza, London, Düsseldorf, Toronto, Hamburg - the ladies got em all! At the same time, there will be a weekly question for their bloggers, called “The Green Apple”, asking them to write detailed answers on their personal views. As the ladies are saying: “eVe without adam is the paradise and each day you will nibble from the bloggers ‘Tree of Knowledge’ over and over again. eVe without adam is the keyhole to the heart and head of the women, inviting you to watch and follow, either loudly or silently.” I am really excited about the things to come - and I promise to be a loud follower!

eVe without adam starting February 17th 2010.

Sydney, New York, London, Copenhagen, Berlin, DÜSSELDORF: Within its Customized World Tour, Swedish jeans brand Cheap Monday will also make a stop in Düsseldorf. This Saturday, February 6th, Cheap Monday will present 50 customized jeans and other special stuff at Mischwaren Store in Flingern. The project was founded in November 2008 when the Cheap Monday design team customized 50 limited and numbered pair of Jeans which were first sold during an event at the Weekday store in Sweden - followed by a huge tour throughout Europe, America and Asia, with 50 pair of customized & signed jeans at each stop. The customizing process involved sandpapering, punching, patching, sewing, various destructive treatments and washing. The result: Very special, as I think!  But the images of the event in Berlin (see below & here) are promising. Take a look yourself & join the eve in Düsseldorf - the guys from Mischwaren already prepared some handmade Buletten & put the Schumacher Alt beer on ice to welcome you on Saturday. Cheerio.
