to revive something

It has been more than 2 years since I looked on this blog for the last time. A lot in my personal life has changed: I moved to Berlin, I'm less into electronic music (which is awkward since my decision to move to Berlin was partly based on the fact that you can find a vast variety on club culture here) and more open again to explore other styles and genres. Still, I love to find a good techno or house track somewhere in the internet or in a record store and play it 137 times in a loop until I know how each millisecond sounds like. I sometimes have the assumption that I'm this kind of bulimic listener, which isn't really sophisticated (and which doesn't only apply to electronic stuff). Anyway, there have been a lot more changes, of course, and the interest in a certain style or aethetics can only occur within an interplay with developments that go beyond and/or might have a completely different subject. I will try to unroll this issue more clearly in the future.

I assumed that I would be ashamed to death when entering this website again after this long period (2 years - this is, when you strive to develop your character and interests in the midst of your "young adulthood", an eternity), but surprisingly I find my old notes not even that embarassing. still embarassing enough.

I'm definitely more into feminism and politics in general by now, and this is also something which touches my interest and my opinions in arts. I guess this will show evidence when I continue to write on certain topics on this blog.


When it comes to fashion, there has happened quite a lot (both in the world and my own style sensitivity). I don't pay A LOT of attention to the fashion circuit and most of the high fashion shows, I'm rather guided by coincidence and following curiosity. The brand which struck me the most during the past couple of months is probably Y/Project. I really admire how the clothes are simple yet craftful and original and how the collection, which is shown below, contains a lot of different items and colours, whitout ever appearing arbitrary. It is modern in a sense that is not clean, but rather dark (despite all the colours and playfulness) and moody, and, if there would still exist any real subcultures by now, I guess Glenn Martens would have studied them closely. Sounds like a huge contradiction which tells nothing at all to the reader? Well I guess then I have to improve my writing skills regarding fashion.
I would definitely like write more on this brand, and how it is connected to other young (Parisian) brands such as Jacquemus and Vetements, but for now I have to push my lasagne in the oven.
