school of thought
düsseldorf. germany. fashion again. yesterday I was at the fashion show from the amd – academy fashion & design. the show was at the cpd. unfortunately we came too late ( damn, I hate rush hours in big cities ) and were far away from the scene. in fact, we had to stand. and what also means that the photos are not from the first row or second row, either. here are the favourites. the men’s wear was which we liked a lot. ( aka the men we liked to watch )
julia schmidt – man(n)kind
lang wang Рpas de coincid̩nce
anna vogt – eisenhans
try to google them – maybe you will have more luck
I spotted that on the way out of the fair – isn’t that patent-registered?

Berlin
to be taken prisoner
Düsseldorf. Germany. the CPD is going on. another fashion fair. rosner invited the fashion scene to celebrate 40 years of being in the biz. the location was an old factory building, the topic was ‘chic jail’.
to summarise: to me this was another event about appearance. lot’s of people who’s main interest is to appear as somebody they are not. so the photos you see show what I liked about the show. and on purpose there are not so many people on the pictures:
isn’t it 40 years?
chain the soap
for people who don’t find the way to the loo
itchy and scratchy?
the woman did this for 5 minutes. maybe she just likes her ass
she looks like: ‘officer, am I really a bad girl?’
your own babynova
Berlin. Germany. Marian Meder is an actor. 6 days ago he moved into his new appartment and bought a mini washingmaschine.
why should we go for supersize when mini is becoming the new abstinence?

free culture in public space
Berlin. Germany. On my way to catch a subway I saw this.
In the alexanderplatz, in the hallway to the U2 and U8, you see this small ‘retrospective’ on salvador dali’s artwork. hmm, dali (again), you may say, matylda, get original. Wait a moment. It’s not that I am an admirer of surrealism or under heavy influence of “düsseldorf/münchen/maastricht” art conformity – I just like unusual ideas and here is one.
what I like about it: there is no one claiming this piece of work.
there is no indication of who did it. I haven’t seen a personal note, either. somebody just put dali’s work on this dirty, yellow construction site wall. it’s accessible for everybody.
the advert:
“dali – the exhibition. economy. smaller…. but for free! ‘dali has never been presented like this before!’, exclaims one of the private loaners of the exhibition in joy.”

my favourite website
Most websites are made without a characteristic style, in my opinion. Most of the time there is a certain dominating arche-type. You see the same fonts (verdana, arial, trebuchet ms etc.) and in the majority of cases the same composition.
Here’s a case which goes for more individuality:

It’s the Homepage of Oliver Voss – one of Jung van Matt’s creative heads. He is inventor of the slogans ‘Du bist Deutschland’ ( You are Germany ) and ‘3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . meins!’ – Ebay ( 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . mine!) who are 2 of the most known slogans in Germany. Oliver likes it short with a likeable directness. That’s how advertising should be. And I think you also see it in the style of his website.
