last sunday, me and the travelettes organized our second travelettes flea market on the occasion of christmas, so that some girls could raise some cash and others could get some pretty new clothes for the cold season. Everyone also baked an international christmas specialty which was given away against donations for a kids charity. we raised a €100 this way and would like to thank everyone that came and made that sunday what it was.
i also made a little video of impressions from that day:
Some more info and photos can be found here.
If you couldn't be there this time, i hope we see you at the next travelettes flea market in spring.

sorry for not having been updating as much as i should have lately but in berlin, i blame the (icy) weather and in madrid i blame a lack of time. i've been in spain for a week now but have mostly been engaging in fashion shoots and parties which did not leave me with much time looking for good street fashion.
tomorrow i'll be back in berlin, but for now i will leave you with one of the photos i shot today of the lovely amanda at uno models.

yesterday i mentioned that i interviewed 5 german designers about their accessories for the new Absolut vodka special edition bottle GLIMMER.
now that the interviews are available on vimeo as well, i thought i'd post them for those of you interested (all of the stories are quite personal and moving, so they're worth checking out).
Esther Perbandt
Lala Berlin
Starstyling
Patrick Mohr
Sabrina Dehoff
you may have noticed that they're all in german, sorry about the lack of subtitles.
for anyone interested in buying one of those accessories, they are now available exclusively at very poolish.

The amazing Viona Ielelegems - photographer and costumier. Features a range of historical influence in her work, including ruffs.
Modern Haute Couture Ruff. Gaultier, Westwood and pearls by Mikimoto. From Russian Vogue, 2010. Photographer: Sharif Hamza.
Ruff from Russian Vogue shoot. Pearls by Mikimoto, couture by Maidon Martin and Margiola Artisani. Photographer: Sharif Hamza.
Gareth Pugh's Ruff, for his Spring 2009 show. 
Lady Ga Ga wearing a ruff on a flying Piano (...of course). Ruff and latex outfit by Atsuko Kudo.
Close up of ruff by Atsuko KudoWhat is a ruff? You may have seen portraits or portrayals of Queen Elizabeth wearing large cloth collars, generally white. Ahhh..those things! That's what a ruff is.
Ruffs were originally a decorative piece of material at the edge of a shirt, a small collar. Like a lot of fashion, they took on a life of their own, evolving to a larger size, and becoming a separate garment to be worn around the neck.
At their extreme they grew to be about a foot wide. They lasted about 100 years, roughly from 1550 to 1650....and lingered as clerical clothing and some cermonial dress.
More recently, Ruffs have made a reappearance with Lady Ga Ga, in some haute couture fashion, and the odd photoshoot. Design house Atsuko Kudo, who specialise in Latex wear, make Lady GaGa's ruffs. Each one uses a couple of metres of latex, because of the concertina nature of the ruff.
Gareth Pugh, like his fellow Brits Galliano and the late Alexander McQueen, takes influence from historical fashion. His spring 2009 show featured some black and white ruffs, as part of a number of ensembles.
Russian Vogue featured some Ruffs in a photoshoot of theirs - I have been trying to work out who the creator was, but my Russian isn't too good! :-). If someone can work it out, please tell me.
Ruffs are highly unlikely to be seen in the officeplace, or down the local nightclub, but can still make a fashionable presence on the catwalk and in high fashion photography...so the ruff would still be alive and kicking to some degree 500 years later.
