CHEM Bibi Chemnitz The brand is half Danish and half Greenlandic and the animals in these cold regions influence their collection but there is also a heavy urban influence in the styles of Bibi Chemnitz.
Every collection aims to create new styles and studies the industry to create innovative designs which have not been produced with a fundamental attempt to cultivate and elevate their collection.

Let make-up guide you to the art of theatrical beauty. Be your own man! Learn to love your body! You were chosen to represent British design talent at the British Embassy in Japan last year, how did that come about? The trip is sponsored, and a great opportunity for UK labels to test the market in Tokyo and Osaka. So many young designers rush into launching their own labels upon graduation, without a plan. Was your decision to do your own thing, always the plan or did it just happen?
My plan was definitely not to set up a label. After 6 months of that not only had I learned briefly about the hardcore world of buying, but I was desperate to get into design again, so I took the plunge and started my label. Your designs seem to focus on ideology behind being a gentleman. There are elements of androgyny and a subtle romanticism within your collections, so bearing that in mind who or what is your idea of the quintessential gentleman? Dress beautifully, carry yourself well and most importantly have grace in everything that you do. So, keeping within the theme of what it is to be a gentleman, do you think chivalry is dead?
But certainly in London, there is a good group of young men who are carrying on traditions and sartorial codes that are in danger of being lost. And I tip my top hat to them. ARMED Standing loftily charioted, Mad and maddening all that heard her in her fierce volubility, Her black attire reflecting the sharp spears of the enemy Brandishing in her hand a dart And rolling glances lioness like The fearful stature of the black towering figure, Dangerously armed.

Like most artists, Rothenhagen has a particular passion, a subject that centres his work, gives the viewer a subtext and most importantly continues to inspire both the artist and the viewer. For more than 30 years, Rothenhagen has lived in Berlin. He has lived to see the city in its imprisoned state, witnessed the fall of the Berlin wall, and the progressive agglomeration of city, as it is now, constantly growing and changing.
Through the mediums of graphic design, illustration and art-installations, Rothenhagen takes his viewers on a journey through the city of Berlin. That venture was successful but short-lived as Rothenhagen decided to focus on his art work primarily. Rothenhagen Text by Rhianna Nelson. Ultimately its clear, rothenhagen will pro too long.

Even though many of these proposals never reach maturity or the quality levels the market demands to reach other frontiers, they have opened new ways for talent and imagination that for several years were asleep or subordinated to the offer from department stores. Among the successful proposals of the independent fashion scene, there are brands and designers that took Chile as a starting point for their careers. Although he spent a year away from the catwalk, this austral spring is coming back with a new collection of swimsuits that features salmon skin as the main material.
He will reveal them in the next Santiago Fashion Week. His proposal is known for its theatrical staging, which immerse the viewer into his creative concept. Defined as a contemporary dressing artist, her designs are two-dimentional textile compositions with deconstructed garments as their main component. Clean cuts and volume identify his work. On the other hand, there are brands that are thriving in a growing scene of national ecofashion, where recycled plastic bags, filters for cigarettes and pvc banners have became the stars for Botas Dacca http: For centuries, Latin American designers looked for inspiration in European fashion houses.
However, the beginning of the decade brought new blood to the local runways, and designers felt the need to search for a common identity inside their own borders, as well as for new markets in which to disembark. This is the case of Argentinean designers which have been traveling north, presenting their creations in almost every country in the continent. And recently they have gone deep into tropical waters through the second edition of Argentina Fashion Week in Panama.
Argentine sportswear brands such as OSX —that specializes in clothing for extreme sports practice- and Cuatro Tacos —related to the luxurious polo lifestyle- were also featured in this show in Panama. After the show, the public was able to take a better look at these collections in a showroom. And finally, the Embassy offered a cocktail for designers, politicians and several representatives of the Panama and Caribbean fashion elite.
However, this was hardly the end for this particular association between Argentina and Panama, since this Fashion Week will continue easing the road for future negotiations between the fashion entrepreneurs of both countries. One of my favourites was Andrea Llosa. A Peruvian now based in Barcelona, her aesthetic is focused on luxurious sportswear: Cue monochrome tailored dresses, mini capes and pussybow blouses with voluminous detail in sculptural folds and pleats. What resulted was irregular rippled stripes and structured bulbous tiers for womenswear alike. Meanwhile, Cantillo seemed to pay tribute to the English gent with sophisticated three-piece suits and Broderie Anglaise shirts.
Until next year Colombia. Discovered by Rachel Arthur. When I was told I could write a piece on the fresh and undiscovered pool of talent from Asia I could not have been more ecstatic, for a whole host of reasons. Because I love to write, because Asia is huge part of my heritage and because it feels like a voyage into undiscovered waters to bring home lost and hidden gems for all to enjoy.
But first just a little information from your very own little Christopher Columbus, me! I am currently studying English at university in order to quench my thirst for literature. In my spare time I love to write, read and extend my knowledge and experience of the world in whatever ways possible. But most of all I am bursting to share the tales of my discovery. Asia is the heart of all that is exotic but behind the glistening seas and wild forests lingers some home grown gems whose value is often overlooked by the creative industry.
This wealth of inspiration lurking in the shadows is coming forward in the form of independent fashion designer, photographer, artist and consultant from India, Ritesh Kumar. Multicultural sensibilities are being accepted as mainstream fashion staple. Asian lines are crossing over to the western ramp. Deconstruction of couture sensibilities with intricate surface textures, common sense drapes and alternate imagery of decoration. At just 25 years of age her previous clients include the prestigious Jimmy Choo Couture and the British Council.
Her illustrations are a mix of innovation, courage and unique content which has earned her the recognition which her creativity deserves. At just 22 years old she is the youngest fashion editor in Indonesia. The photographs are shot in Jakarta and Singapore and the varying themes are captivating. Her work can be viewed onNineteen Taking a deep breath I kn the temptation of world t world that promised of th sensual desires.
Lo and behold a few designers who have taken a more artistic approach to their knits, reinventing the craft by creating more sculptural pieces that go far beyond Mr. Liria Pristine, originally from Toronto, a Central St. One half of London-based Pristine Smut, she worked with jewelry designer Rosie Kent to create truly unique accessories worn by musicians and fashion hungry. One would even go as far as to say, this marks an yet another exciting evolution in knitwear. Text by Jennine Tamm.
This is basically me, stripped to the basics, with a suitcase full of yarn and clothes in one hand, and a knitting machine in the other. Each time I was able to settle in one place, I took to the machine. I now have a new one to add to the list and draw from, I have inspiration to last me a life time, it will definitely all come out at some point, so Im interested to see in what form.
I guess the exciting thing about knitwear is that no one really knows where its going, and what the future holds for it, including me. Masterminded by Frank Roller, it is an online gallery which allows art collectors to buy their favourite pieces at an affordable price but with the assurance they are buying quality. They offer access to limited edition imagery that would otherwise be unaffordable to most photography lovers.
The main themes of the photography available on the site are beauty, fashion, luxury and erotica. The photographs always have a sleek look to them but there is raw sexuality that is evident also.

These will have most of the same colorways and characters seen in the US Edition with the exception of a few surprises. I see them, and complain not, and am content with all. I am not trying to make my ego bigger, not trying to seduce you so you become my fan. I just deliver a message. I set an example and I work hard. But let me introduce myself: Wasabi, I have no flag but very proudly I can say I belong to Miami.
My roots are Colombian, and my role is that of a Fashion Art Director. Welcome to my planet, an eccentric panorama saturated in color and in attitude, trying to accomplish just one thing: By being myself, by having a vision, by pursuing my goals and by taking my happiness as my own responsibility. What is the message? So, I have created a world of my own called Wasabi Fashion Kult, a place to document how the underground culture is expressing itself through fashion, music and art.
We, the independent, the freedom chasers, the music lovers, the alternative; have something to say: And all our creations are represented in our preferred visual language.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Trish, a true professional, looking after you from start to finish. Sent in by Maggie Blair Cheshire, 24 July A big thank you to Trish who organised our honeymoon in Barbados. The hotel, location and food was absolutely superb. We cannot thank her enough for her outstanding customer service.
No hesitation in recommending. Thanks once again Trish. We had an amazing time and we cannot thank you enough for sorting everything out and then sorting our seats on the flight back from Toronto. What a life saver! All the experiences were fantastic. We're really pleased with everything we packed in and very grateful for all your tips. We really loved the iced wine - amazing stuff!. Hope you are keeping well. Just a few words of thanks for organising an amazing trip for myself and Alison.
It took 24 hours for Alison to take it all in and finally relax when I broke the news and picked her up from work, what seems like weeks ago! New York was amazing and the hotel couldn't be more central and accommodating, the bottle of Champagne in the room was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. After the frantic pace of New York, Antigua was the perfect place to unwind and what a fantastic and picturesque place it is too!
Just how you imagine paradise to be! The resort was lovely and again, more Champagne arrived in the room on Alison's birthday! A completely unexpected surprise! Everything went like clockwork and the behind the scenes organisational work you've done for us showed in how smooth the entire holiday went. Thank you for helping me to make Alison's birthday a trip to remember.

Would not hesitate to recommend her. Sent in by Ceri Rees Swansea, 19 April Trish kept to the budget and took all of the stress out of organising our city break to Paris. Will be in touch again for our next holiday. Sent in by Janet Carlyon Oxford, 03 April Booking a holiday can be a bit of pot luck. You either invest lots of time and effort trawling the internet or listening to the experiences of other folk, never knowing for sure what to do if something were to go wrong. My holiday time and money is precious. I want to book with confidence and so with this in mind I always turn to Trish.
We give Trish our wish list and quickly receive choices all fitting the bill perfectly. Trish anticipates our needs too - checking us in at the airport, checking we are up to date with insurance, passports etc. We have also used Trish for organising business travel. We are a very small business but feel like we have an expert travel department on tap. Sent in by Jon Ashcroft Cardiff, 03 April Trish never fails to go above and beyond to secure the right holiday for us at the right price and then to deliver that holiday.
She found the hotel we wanted which was sold out on the online booking sites and dealt with our query quickly and in her typical friendly manner. She is always on hand prior to the holiday to remind us of the details you often forget like getting your driver code or an ESTA for America. You always know that when you book with Trish you have a friend to help you from the moment you phone her to the point you land return home. Very knowledgeable, helpful and professional. I would and have recommended her to friends and family. Very helpful and friendly service.
Suggested a number of options and was able to adapt them to suit our needs. Will definitely use this service again. Trish has booked a few holidays for myself and family members, she is always very polite, helpful and prompt in answering any questions, I would recommend her to other family and friends,. Don't know why everyone doesn't use a Personal Travel Counsellor! Amazing service and peace of mind from booking the holiday to returning home.

Please take a look through my posts - you might find your own holiday inspiration. We often do villa holidays in Europe, as we like the flexibility and privacy they offer. They are now becoming so popular with my clients so I thought I would blog about one of my most recent stays in a villa.
After spending time in the beautiful city of Palma we headed over to the south-east coast of Mallorca. Our villa was a three-bedroom villa with a private pool set in a lovely garden with clever planting of trees and bushes to keep it mostly private. This particular villa was walkable to bars, restaurants, shops and the beach which is rare with We have visited Mallorca several times before and always enjoyed exploring the island, but on this visit, we decided to do a twin centre by staying 4 nights in Palma before heading off for a week in a villa.
Palma offers you both a lively evening scene and cultural haven during the day. First off, Palma city is a ten-minute taxi transfer time Having lived in Andalucia, like many people we had only seen Malaga airport before this trip, but we decided to spend a few days in the city before heading off to the beach. We arrived early October but were blessed with blue skies and temperatures around 28 degrees most days.
We stayed in the Old Town, near to Plaza de Merced. This was an ideal base for our three night stay being a two minute walk from the Cathedral and the Picasso museum and literally a few feet from the nearest bar and restaurant. We arrived around 9pm and headed off Dubai is a great destination that I would recommend to all!

I have been many times and stayed in different hotels each time, it is so diverse and has so much to offer for all ages! The hotels range in price and there are so many, you can choose from a hotel that offers a Waterpark, great choice of restaurants, shopping and a stunning aquarium! Or a hotel with a difference that has a layout designed to resemble an Arabian Town. We arrived at Athens airport and collected our car for the 3 hour journey to Volos and the start of our Argonautical journey.
About 90 minutes into the journey we pulled off the motorway and called into the small resort of Kamena Vourla for a light lunch. We arrived at Volos and took our first stroll down along the seafront with its numerous cafes and bars where we had dinner of fresh sardines and watched the yachts bobbing up and down.
We identified Ermou Street as the main shopping strip so headed off in that direction. Many shops later we found Thailand is a very special place to us, as we lived there for 12 months and have visited nearly all the beautiful islands this country has to offer. We decided to spend the Festive period in Thailand once again — this time after starting and finishing in Bangkok we went to the beautiful island of Koh Samet. First of all we wanted to experience New Year in Bangkok, which We wanted to take advantage of the range of flights into Athens, but having done the city highlights we wanted to visit somewhere new, but still accessible.
After some research we decided to head south from the airport and look for one of the closer Cyclades Islands. We picked up our car at the airport and headed south towards Lavrion and then onto our evening stopover in Cape Sounio. We called into the ferry terminal at Lavrion to collect our ferry tickets and check the boarding process. We always find a little preparation makes for a much less fraught travelling experience. Our road trip through Greece this year was up in Halkidiki, we started our trip by staying in Thessaloniki for 2 nights which is a great city located on The Thermaic Gulf.
Because of its location there are many waterfront bars and restaurants. The city is the 2nd largest city in Greece, we actually preferred it to Athens, there are many squares to stop and relax in whilst watching the world go by, along with lots of shops and places of interest making 2 or 3 days in the city an ideal duration for a city break. For our 2nd stop we The first thing to say is that the weather is quite changeable at this time of year and temperatures can vary from up to 30c during the day to 10c in the evenings! The good news is that the enormous night market that starts about 5pm each evening in the town centre sells all manner of scarves, jumpers and jackets for the chilly evenings.
Like all markets it is expected to negotiate and we normally started at We spent several days in Siem Reap during December. This was a catch up visit to see Angkor Wat, something we had missed on previous visits to Cambodia.

We chose a boutique hotel which was a 5 minute walk from the main night market and entertainment area. The entertainment area centres around Pub Street. As the name implies it We based ourselves in the beautiful city of Madrid, because of its central location and high altitude, the climate of Madrid has warm dry summers and cool winters. Madrid is the capital of Spain but tourists seem to regard it as the little brother of Barcelona. I'm not sure why as Madrid has a lively night life, the largest museum, even more cosy squares and is a well-known shopping city.
Madrid is also a fascinating city, with stately boulevards, beautiful squares, beautiful and imposing buildings, working-class neighbourhoods with winding streets full of traditional taverns and typical shops, open-air markets and of On our recent visit, this time we wanted more culture along with a more authentic experience.
We flew into Athens for our trip to the far side of the Pelopponese. On the way we stopped off at the magnificent Corinth canal. It really is amazing to consider the work that went into creating this feat of engineering in the late 's. We found a small cafe overlooking the canal that served the best Souvlaki we have ever From Fiji we moved onto Samoa via a short flight to Apia.
Samoa is actually made up of ten islands with the main ones being Upolu and Savaii. Upolu is the more developed of the islands. That said the pace of life on either island is relaxed! You certainly need to give yourself time to adjust with a trip here! Samoa had been badly affected by cyclone These island groups contain many single resort islands and are generally accessible via Denarau Marina on Viti Levu, which is about 20 minutes from the main Fijian airport at Nadi.
Our plans in Fiji had to be hastily rearranged due to cyclone Evan passing nearby shortly before we were due to arrive. Our original plan was to stay for one night near to Denarau Marina so we could have a We recently spent three days in Shanghai and were glad that we had given ourselves the full 72 hours that the new visa exemption allowed us.
We basically split our time into three different areas of focus. We decided to take advantage of the hop-on hop-off bus tours to get around the city.
On day one we explored the famous promenade known as the Bund, with its fantastic views over to the financial centre on the opposite bank and its own fantastic gothic buildings. It is also here that you can pick up the river cruises, either during the day or We decided on a short break to Mallorca during September for 5 days and decided to base ourselves near the pretty harbour town of Porto Cristo. We had an apartment that had a roof terrace so were able to avoid any need for trips to the beach or poolside sunbeds!
We were also conscious of trying to avoid the all inclusive and party animal areas of the Island and managed to find numerous lovely low key areas to enjoy the warm autumn weather and fantastic views and fabulous yachts! Porto Cristo itself has a lovely harbour surrounded by low cliffs and a The first thing to say about Madeira is that the airport is cut into the side of a hill and the approach to it is quite interesting!
That dramatic approach set the tone for the entire stay and the hilly terrain was actually the highlight of the trip. We picked up our hire car for the week and set off to our villa in the West of the Island. The journey there is made much easier now that the tunnels go virtually all the way along the south coast. Our Villa was beautiful with uninterrupted views of the Atlantic Ocean Our first experience of the Cape Verde Islands was on Sal, which is probably the most developed in terms of tourism. Virtually all of the tourist action in Sal is based around the town of Santa Maria in the south of the island, and approximately 20 minutes from the airport.
Around the town you have the choice of a number of traditional 3 and 4 star properties or if you prefer all inclusive options there are a number of larger hotels on the outskirts. The Island is popular with windsurfers and kiteboarders due to the constant breeze during the winter months We were lucky enough to be invited to spend time onboard Crystal Serenity for a Mediterranean cruise. We embarked in Rome, however because we had been to Rome before we chose to get straight onboard and experience the ships facilities whilst most of the guests were off visiting the city of Rome We travelled by Eurostar in Leisure Select from London to Paris then had to change stations to catch our train onto Reims.
We stayed in a lovely hotel right in the centre of Reims and had a nice room overlooking the courtyard. Reims is a lovely city and has plenty to offer, many bars, restaurants and excellent for shopping. It also has a lovely cathedral with an array of stained glass windows. However the main reason for the trip was to visit Kefalonia was the last of the Ionian Islands we have visited, but it is definitely a firm favourite of ours now.
The scenery is fantastic all the way around the island. We started our trip in Katelios. Katelios itself is a small quiet resort, with a number of seafront tavernas and a couple of music bars, but not what you would call a lively resort by any means. As we had a hire car for the whole trip we managed to visit all of the islands main resorts and found a fair few hidden gems!
Our first trip took us We stayed in 2 places, firstly at Bijilo, which is at the southern end of the tourist areas, and then onto Cape Point, which was at the opposite end, although they are only about half an hour apart, in Southern Gambia. We chose to travel Standard Premier which allows you bigger seats and a light meal with drinks including wine. You need to change trains in Brussels for your onward journey to Bruges. The whole journey depending on your train connections takes about 3.
We have been to Singapore a few times now as it is one of our favourite cities. Every time we visit we seem to find something different to do. It is also an ideal stopover choice on the way to Australia, or as a twin centre with other Asian destinations.
