Fashion Week in Berlin: Lena Hoschek

First: Lena Hoschek from Austria is one of my favourite designers. A very talented young woman, that also seems to be quite a nice person. By the way, her blog's nice too: Lena Hoschek's Blog
Her style is very 40's/50's, sometimes cute, sometimes country, always a little inspired by the tattoo-scene.
So then, enough advertisement.
Here are my favourite pieces from her show at the Mercedes Benz fashion week 2011:

need... that... dress!

My personal summary: I adore her!

That gave me another motivation and inspiration to make the best out of my project. By the way, I'm working together with another girl that is also an awesome sewer and designer. That will be great, I'm sure. Those will be the best costumes our group ever had :D

Think 50's!

Sorry guys for being so lazy in writing for my blog the past day. School was taking control of me, so I barely had time to even read my emails.
But I already think of fashion now that my terrible week is almost over.
We're gonna have a play at the Drama Club of our school, of course I'm acting but also doing costumes for it. It's a comedy, set in the 50's, we're gonna have it overacted like the movies of these time, with great poses and stuff. So it's gonna be very funny ;D I already have some ideas for the costumes. Thinking of 50's I see one thing: Petticoats, petticoats, petticoats! And the fitting skirts over them. Also I think of nice pencil skirts and suits with skirts. Everything has to be black and white because it's our colour scheme this year. I'm already so excited sewing and searching together all these things! 50's and 60's are my favourite fashion-eras beneath the 20's.
The only thing is that I don't have a clue about male-clothing of the 50's. Only suits is a little boring, isn't it? I have to take a look at some old movies to find inspiration for our boys.
But that's the style I want to catch:

Skirts like this are simple and fast to sew, so the younger girl-characters will get variations of these circular skirts with different pattern.

Something not that poofy for the older characters. Polka dots in general would be awesome too! I've got a dress like this from my mom, also with dots, but sadly it's red with white dots, so... not suitable. A dress like this would be more difficult to sew, but fun. Or we could only sew the skirt and search a fitting blazer for it. Or a cardigan. Also very 50's. We could buy some from h&m and embroider them. We'll see...

That looks also so 50's! With white gloves... awesome. Only in black, for our play.
I'm so full of ideas! Tonight and tomorrow I've got time to draw some sketches, I'm posting them, I promise ;)

Work, work, work...

...and no end in sight. I made my dad to take a picture for Chictopia and LB today though. Not stunning, but what I wore today. Everyone asked me whether the fur is real, what caused a big discussion about faux fur and real fur, about foxes that had to be killed because they don't have natural enemies and so on. By the way, what do you think about fur? I only wear faux fur.

...and I guess I'm not writing about the Golden Globe dresses.
Only that I adored Natalie Portman. She looked awesome. By the way, I almost can't do a post because my Internet is always disturbed. I hate hate hate it. It drives me mad. Do you know the problem?

Thank you all ;) And Swedish in Berlin

Hey, already 9 Followers! Almost ten. I'll take my chance to thank you in a little post.
And thanks for all the comments on my posts, it's encouraging that someone reads the stuff I write ;)

What made me also wonder: I posted my first look yesterday on Chictopia. I have to admit: I like it better than Lookbook. The people on chic are very open-minded, though it's my first post and nobody knows me there I have already 25 chic and I'm on page 2 of the Style Gallery
That's so freaking awesome! I want to get out and make new photos now :D

And that leads me to the next point. I'm feeling really better these days. I already wanted to go to school today. But everyone (especially my parents) scared me with things like: "Then you'll be sick again on the weekend and can't be on the show tomorrow night" or "you wanted to cure it right, don't destroy it now with that" and so on. Maybe they're right. I was out for half an hour yesterday and came back pale and not feeling well. I don't wanna know how I may felt after 9 hours school. But on Monday I'm writing an exam, for that I have to be there again.

By the way, next week is Fashion Week in Berlin ^_^
There's a event called "Swedish Fashion goes Berlin", I'm really curious, because I love Swedish fashion.
These three awesome Designers will have a group show:

 Camilla Norrback:  Her label uses ecological materials. Her A/W-collection 2010 was inspired by Veruca and Charly from Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. A great inspiration!

 My favorites from the lookbook:

 and much more.. (everything from her site: Camilla Norrback)

Diana Orving is also a Designer to love. Her clothes are inspired by movement and dance, that's why she is designing her clothes on the body to see exactly how the fabric falls.
Here are some of my favorite pieces from her collection:

 

Everything from her website 

Ida Sjöstedt likes to see all the oh-so-earnest fashion thing with more fun. Her designs look typical Scandinavian to me: Fresh, light, with a wink.
I really love EVERY piece of her last collection (to her site: http://www.idasjostedt.com/), so here are my favs:

Let there be spring

Sorry for not writing anything these days, I'm sick with a great flu. Last days I felt like I was dying. That's why I also did not take any pictures. I'm looking awful. But I sent my paper for that contest in ^_^ And booked a yoga-course for me and my mom. That will be funny. And I'm staying in bed until I'm really healthy again, because I've been sick for two months with some 1-week breaks. That's really annoying.

So when I have only my books and TV to stare at (can't concentrate on learning though I should) I saw a wonderful trench I have to buy. H&M I love you:

h&m, 50€

Love the details on it. See the little ruffles? Gonna get it when I'm well again, maybe they've got it in our store here.

And that's why I coordinated it - at least online - with some spring-like pieces:

Miyake's Reality Lab

I saw something interesting today, funny thing is: In TV. Maybe you all already know that and I'm late, but I was fascinated by this:

from this

to that

and in the end: dresses

Designer Issey Miyake runs now an exhibition with foldable origami-clothing. From first dimension to second to third and a whole dress. The fabric is recycled and yet new in its texture. He worked together with a computer scientist. I never thought all this algorithms and stuff I hate could be useful once o.o
I can't explain this, because I don't have a clue how exactly that works, I can't even do a normal origami, so instead of, more pictures:

the process of opening a present like that :D

my favourite dress

Why I would buy it? Because these dresses would be awesome for traveling! A hundred dresses for 40 pounds luggage instead of only 10. And: You wouldn't have to take the flat iron with ya ^^

Half a shopping day

On our way back to Germany we stopped at an Outlet Centre near Salzburg. Well, it looks very nice:

No long distances, Restaurants, everything a little shopper's heart wants. If I only had the money Q__Q
I was at Jil Sander. Saw a fabulous dress. Half price. That meant.... over a thousand €. Really, not my league. Valentino: Same thing. Wonderful clutches and dresses, I love Valentino, I was searching for a nice dress for my prom, but: Everything way too expensive. I wanted to go up to 300€, 400 bucks if it was my dream dress, but 1000... no way. That will be the money for my trip to NY.
But I found something else. Lots of tights for less and these two:

Red skirt, haven't heard of the brand yet (they said it's french, but then I wonder why 36 is still too big for me), but I don't care. Got it for 46€ in a store with different brands, for example Romeo pour Juliette.

This bag was reduced to 64€, leather, nice size for every day, from a leather store there. Strange for a vegetarian wearing leather, but well, you can enjoy your bag longer :D

Brand is Elite model's fashion. I didn't even know they had their own fashion line now O.o

It wasn't allowed to take photos inside the building, everywhere someone watching and cameras, so: Sorry!
