MI – NI – MAL
I always stick a lot of pictures on my wall. Fragments, photos, connections – things that I like, things that inspire me.
Now, I think I’m getting minimal, I feel like things should be more simple & essential.
Of course, tomorrow I’ll feel different 
Unique Design by Setareh Mohtarez
I came across this stunning outfit in the pages of i-D magazine. This hybrid & unusual look really impressed me and I found it very inspiring.
This top looks more like an exotic flower than a proper outfit. I wish I knew what it’s made of, how it was designed and finally built. This makes me really curious about Setareh Mohtarez‘s work!
Setareh Mohtarez is a New York based designer who studied at the Antwerp Royal Academy. The dresses in her collection – Brightness Dawn all carry this unmistakable imprint. It’s quite remarkable when a designer manages to create a highly aesthetic and wearable costume, that doesn’t resemble ordinary clothes!

Black Magic Woman
Iris van Herpen hits again, this time under the umbrella of her Escapism Couture. How about this outfit? Look at these fabrics, this technique, this polished look, this gorgeous silhouette!
Iris van Herpen is one of my favorite designers, and I think her work initiates a new wave in contemporary fashion design. She brings out these wonderful pieces, together with a fresh vision on the fashionable body.

Round & Round
I like round objects – round clothes, round handbags, round edges, round glasses. Do you know why? Because they are always perfect. Round things are basic, smart, funny and timeless. Round glasses, black or colored, reading glasses or sunglasses, branded or no name, they could be a fashion statement.
*of course, Jeremy Scott Mickey Mouse glasses are the best!
Irina Werning Goes “Back to the Future”
“Back to the Future” is one of Irina Werning’ s photo projects. And I find it extraordinary.
Look closely at the characters, re-found and re-photographed after a long period of time, re-taken in an almost identical stance.
A simple juxtaposition – an unexpected perspective on what is usual and commonplace in our daily lives. It’s so human, deep, and funny at the same time.
Even if these photos are beyond fashion, the styling is perfect (and essential!). Check out the whole series on Irina Werning ‘s site.
That’s what I call a 1st class salad !
