  • 🌴 Vintage Versace for Life 🌴
I truly can't (and am not willing to!) decide whether I'm a fashion minimalist or maximalist. 
❤️‍🔥All I know is: Versace's iconic 90s will forever have a place in my Vintage Fashion heart. Of course finding original pieces from Gianni's glorious first half of the 90s has always been either very difficult or very expensive. 
💙That's why as soon as @hm announced its collaboration with Versace back in 2011 I knew I'd spend almost the whole November night in the cold for getting some of the pieces, that Donatella designed for affordable prices. Because the thing was: It wasn't contemporary designs but Versace pieces, that were inspired by the glorious years of the brand, as you can see with my skirt and the coat here: Lavishly colorful prints and golden rivets on black leather.
🪄I here added a second hand blouse with a matching print as well as very cozy, soft leather booties by @buffaloshoes (believe both details or not) to complete the outfit.
🩵Of course I'll never stop researching original Vintage by Versace but until then I'll be pretty satisfied with this half-vintage look.

  • 🖌After theory comes practice🖌
Nowadays surreal fashion (by Schiaparelli f.ex.) usually is out of our reach: Either you find museum or haute couture pieces - the first being priceless, the second being unaffordable 🤷‍♀️
💫But surreal fashion usually can be recreated easily - in the end its charm lies in the idea in the first place and then in its execution. 
🫠That being said, I'll be rushing to buy an original piece by Schiaparelli as soon as I can. 
🖌BUT! Until then I'll be enjoying myself recreating surreal fashion - and so can you with my DIY tutorial. 
💙 Amusez-vous bien!

  • 👁 The Surreal Fashion Body 👁
Surrealism influenced Fashion (and Schiaparelli) in many ways, but one topic was - and is - its biggest obsession: The Body.
❓️How do you like Schiaparelli's face bags, ear belts and foot boots? Would you wear them?

  • 🖤 Surreal Flowers 🖤
Recently I was invited to join #ZeigtHerEureBlüten ("Show your Flowers!") at the @makkoeln by my dear museum colleague @frauvogel to show the favorite flowers of my wardrobe. 
🏛The Cologne museum just published a new catalogue focusing on floral motifs of their vast fashion collections called "Blütenlese" ("flower harvest"), referring not only to the flowers but also to the treasures of their fashion collections. 
❤️‍🔥I am delighted to be part of the matching campaign and immediately went on the quest of the most beautiful flowers of my wardrobe! 
🪷Flowers are an integral motif of fashion design - we all agree on that one. And while I do like floral motifs as well I must admit I like my flowers even more when having an ironic and surreal pinch. 
💙So it comes as no surprise that I chose the most un-floral flowers one can imagine: Black roses seemingly made of mineral oil. The design is a print of one of my favorite brands: @viktorandrolf, who have the magic touch for surreal fashion to say it modestly. 
🖤Their flowers here seem to be made of mineral oil - a black natural raw material totally opposed to the pastel and soft petals of roses and yet somehow quite even when it comes to the silky touch and inestimable value. Useless to say: This shawl immediately sparked my attention - I had the chance to buy it second hand on @vestiaireco for a bargain.
⭐️Feel free to join #ZeigtHerEureBlüten yourself and get inspired at @makkoeln - they'll be delighted to see your floral fashion!

  • 💥History repeating💥
I won't lie to you: This week I wanted to show you how history was repeating itself at @Schiaparelli and how Daniel Roseberry took Elsa Schiaparelli to the present. Unfortunately life was a little complicated for me (my laptop is broken) and what was a nice plan is still only a nice plan and not yet reality. So I'll leave you with this medley of Roseberry's beautiful creations and hope to serve you the promised content on Monday 🩷 Thank you for your patience 🙏

  • ⚜️ Schiaparelli by Roseberry ⚜️
... a visual and artisanal feast, but probably unaffordable for the most of us.
📜After its closure in 1954, the house of Schiaparelli was reopened in 2012 and was 
awarded the official Haute Couture label by the French Ministry of Industry and the French Couture Federation in 2017. 
💥Ever since the art director Daniel Roseberry presented many acclaimed Haute Couture collections, picking up the marvelous creative threads of Elsa Schiaparelli and transforming them into contemporary couture. 
🧵As it is with Haute Couture, this particular branch of fashion design comes in pieces uniques all made by hand, meaning that its looks are (re-)created only for special occasions (Lady Gaga wore Schiaparelli for her performance at the Inauguration of President Biden f.ex.) and sold to especially wealthy clients (one look can cost several tens of thousands of Euros).
💙Now we do all agree, that Roseberry creates marvelous pieces of art at Schiaparelli, but how the heck are we supposed to wear it if we cannot ever afford it, you might ask yourself. 
🩵Well, I have found some easy ways to recreate the Schiaparelli effect for my own wardrobe and of course I am going to show you how to do it yourself.
⚜️Stay tuned for my Schiaparelli DIYs coming very soon!

Let me show you the flamboyant gift, Santa (and @christian.d2 😏) had in store for me last year: An antique lipstick carousel with an integrated music box ❤️‍🔥
I did have to buy 6 new lipsticks to fit in (because vintage lipsticks were much smaller than contemporary ones 😅) but having this beauty on my dressing table is just 💙

  • 💙 Vintage Luxury Spa 💙
When rethinking the bathroom during the renovation of our new home, a bath tub was absolutely essential - at least for me and my beloved ritual of taking a perfectly factionate bath. Lighting candles, putting on lipstick and my beloved blue turban are the other ingredients 💋
