Tonight it's time again for all of us to go to the:
NIGHT FLEA MARKET & VINTAGE DISCO at WUK Club in the Währingerstrasse 59.
Bargains at the Flea Market with lots of Vintage and Retro 2nd Hand clothes and much, much more...with the perfect shopping soundtrack from DJs and live bands, like the Stapelfahrer.
And from midnight on: VINTAGE DISCO
- free entry with a good retro outfit!
See you there!
Only one more day until Christmas...
Still looking for a luxury gift for your sweetheart, or yourself (I think Christmas is finally the time when you should reward yourself)?
But if you invest a little more money, it should be something not right going out of fashion? Something with a good value?
My Reward: The Keepall bag by Louis Vuitton!!
The Louis Vuitton bags are the status symbol par excellence - in spite of fake bags and all the girls who consider themselves to be greater because they have a Monogram Speedy.
But right now in the travel time at the airport, it always strikes me again that passengers sprayed with Louis Vuitton luggage, even in economy class, a certain glamour. Well, if you must fly economy: From my last 5 flights with an economy class ticket, I had three times an upgrade into business-class at the check in. (So the bag is already more than paid).
So seen, the Keepall is a must have and a safe investment. Finally, she is the mother of all bags and was instyle yesterday, today and will be tomorrow.
The Keepall has also the ideal size. Ideal for weekend trips, sports or can even be taken into the office.
I think Louis Vuitton is not a brand for totally up to date fashion victims, but made for people who value quality and are happy with the lay of the house and tradition combine with a certain permeability look. The bag goes perfectly with classic, preppy outfits or the rockstar number ala Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson. Who takes and dress himself not too seriously, whether man or woman, is ready for the Monogram Kepall bag.
The price-performance is good. There are various sizes and designs from € 760. And if you even wanna spend more, you can also get the perfect suitcase, going with the bag.
Louis Vuitton is a never ending love affaire...
So go for it and travel with style.
I'd take the opportunity to met the Berlin self-made designer Sophie Yang and chatted about her fashion, her new shop in Berlin Mitte and the plan to sell her fashion in Vienna soon.
Sophie, how did it happen that you became a fashion designer?
I was a pianist and came to Berlin to study music. When I moved to Mitte I found something was missing and the fashion was very similar in my opinion. I like good quality, simple and old fashioned styles and I couldn´t find it here. So I decided to do something different. So when I visited my homecountry China I brought some sketches to my mothers tailor and visited the fabric markets in the Suzhou (the oldest and most famous Silk city in China) and Shanghai area and started my own label.
What you value most in the production of your clothes?
Details like hand finishings, and fine materials.
Where do you get all your inspiration?
Classic movies or tv shows like Boardwalk Empire and of course classical music. I also like to sit in those nice little european corner cafes and imagine which clothes would fit into this picture.
What is the philosophy or massage behind your clothing?
It's all about simple and good quality. It´s always personal and not mass produced with appreciation for nice materials.
Now you have decided to do also men-fashion. Are male customers easier to satisfy than female?
Actually yes! From my experience so far men really like cashmere and fine materials and they often buy on impulse. But above all, I am pleased that the men's collection also enjoys great popularity.
Recently you have opened your first showroom in Berlin, what will we expect?
Yes and I am very proud about it! I had pop up shops before during fashionweek but it was time for a constant one. Its located in the Joachimstrasse 17a in 10119 Berlin Mitte.
And my showroom is not just a shop, it's more like a studio. So seometimes the people can also watch me during my design work.
What are your plans for the future?
I would really like to sell my clothes in Vienna, Austria. You know I was a pianist, so Vienna was always my dream bubble. I also like the, sometimes, austrian classical, retro, look and I hope the people in Vienna will like my designes. Right now, I am looking for cooperating shops there and hopefully the Vienna Fashionweek 2011. Of course China is also a market I would like to target. It is so dynamic and people are really curious about fashion and new stuff. So let's hope the best.

The Hermès carré, a hand-painted silk scarf, is ideal for Hermès beginners or collectors and relatively affordable for the Christmas wish list. Actually it is always in fashion, but currently they do have a big revival. After the 2008 project "I love my scarf" was launched on the internet, where cool people showed their individually carré styles, the carré is slowly but surely entering Austria.I think it is perfect for all casual, indie outfits and the most elegant way to protect yourself from a sore throat in wintertimes.The good thing of the typical patterns of Hermès is, that it's also very easy to get similar ones at the flea market to join the trend.
Or you're lucky, like me, and find an original in grandmother's wardrobe (even with the typical Hermès orange).
