A real ‘fashionista’ or a ‘fashion sapper’?

Being a top model she wore designs of the boutique Etoile in the early 60’s and brought fresh air into the Viennese society. Together with Mr. Noever she founded the legendary Section N in 1971 and with this initiative she positioned urban design on a very unconventional way, from lamps and furniture from Achille Castiglioni or Marcel Breuer to styrian felt shoes and ethno-fashion from Asia. The exceptional collection of Katarina Noever can now be seen at the Wien Museum from February

There is a new social network, active since Spring 2010, which apparently causes a ‘hype’ in the web 2.0. We are talking about the site pinterest.com. We had a look at this site, it is a network focusing on visual communication, a platform that collects links to various images and videos but also a portal where one share and provide recommendations and/or suggestions to different products. The basic function is the possibility to collect images on a pin board and

You could ask yourself, why posting something about lamps? Are lamps interesting to post about? Lamps in particular could be interesting but we think the ‘brain behind’ the lamp itself is far more interesting.

Ever been to a ‘hidden sale’? No? Well, we neither, and we received an invitation from a lady that does organize such ‘hidden sales’ in Vienna.

Since 2009 the event Vienna Awards for Fashion & Lifestyle has got a fixed place in the Austrian fashion calendar, next to events like Modepalast, MQ Vienna Fashion Week and the Festival for Fashion & Photography.

The concept of ‘a hotel with rooms dressed as models’, allows each room to be treated with the same independence as a human model. Through this vision the street pavement becomes a catwalk, lights and tables are no longer seen a simple ornaments but as ‘body accessoires’, creases and pleats aren’t fabric features but structural forms. Hotel The Exchange, in

Always looking for creative people, bloggers, designers, urban nomads, yes we do, constantly. Doing that we come across different people and platforms, the one we discovered last week is called ‘Nectar@Pulse’. In our opinion a unique approach towards a city guide, not the standard ones we know but really a personal one, based on the knowledge of so-called ‘soul mates’ within a city … this platform also has a blog, yep, 2 reasons for us to ask them (Carina &
