BLACK XS WITH ELLIE GOULDING // THE INTERVIEW

A few weeks ago Paco Rabanne and #BLACKXS invited me and some other bloggers to Paris to attend at a very exclusive and excessive session with Ellie Goulding. I already gave you a little sneak peek here.
Ellie played 3 songs for us in front of the most beautiful backdrop ever. Le Carmen seems to be perfect for such an happening.
After the mini concert we had the chance to interview Ellie in a very personal way. We sat together on settees and talked for a while.

Pictures from the session, the interview and the little photoshooting with lovely Ricarda (CATS & DOGS) and Alice (ALICE POINT):

 The session isn't over yet! I have some great pictures in petto and I will post them in in the next time :) Thank you so much for having me in Paris PACO RABANNE BLACKXS and Ykone !

SNEAKER PORN

My two new babies are the wonderful white Margiela x H&M sneaker and my amazingly and beloved brand new Marc Jacobs shoes which are the most comfortable shoes I do own. Both pairs were love at first sight.

PRE-LAUNCH: CHANELS "THE LITTLE BLACK JACKET" EXHIBITION

On tuesday Chanel invited me to a pre-walkabout through the upcoming photography exhibition "The Little Black Jacket" by Karl Lagerfeld and style icon Carine Roitfeld. 
Due to the fact that I had to work all day long lovely Friederike grabbed her camera and visited the undergound exhibition for me. Down here you can see some of the wonderful photos she took as a little preview for you.

So if you want to know how Karl and Carine pimped up international superstars like Claudia Schiffer, Kanye West or Sarah Jessica Parker with the Chanels masterpiece "the little black jacket" and if you're in in Berlin these days make sure to visit "The Little Black Jacket" asap! 
To marvel at from November the 23. to Dezember the 14.!

A SNEAK PEEK ON MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA x H&M

Yesterday evening, H&M invited me to their Berlin showroom to have a sneak peek and a try-on on the upcoming designer cooperation with the Parisian fashion label Maison Martin Margiela which will be launched next week.
Just like every year, the hype about the designer cooperation of H&M is huge - this year is no exception. I am pretty sure, that next week hundrets of fashionistas and fashion bloggers will stand in queues for the launch and the online shop will be down after minutes. But well, for me something is exceptional this year. It's the question about who in the world will wear this crazy blanked coat or the unbelievable ugly mens coat on the last picture down here.
For me, MMM x HM is crazy, never-seen, in parts unwearable but somehow refreshing, innovative and bold. I'd love to hear your first thoughts about the collection and what your favourite pieces are.

And this is a small summary of my favourite pieces:
- white sneakers (picture 1)
- leather jacket (picture 3)
- metallic clutches (picture 6)
- black wedges with transparent heels (picture 10)
- a wonderful black fake fur coat for men (not on the pictures)

JOOP! HOMME WILD - BECAUSE SOMETIMES, BAD FEELS SO GOOD

Christmas comes closer as well as the question about how to present the dearest. In this context I had the chance to test a christmas-present ever-green: a perfume.

In 1989, JOOP! boldly launched JOOP! HOMME, an intoxicating oriental perfume, both sensual and very masculine. Inspired by its success, JOOP! now presents a new variant of its iconic fragrance: JOOP! HOMME WILD. 
JOOP! HOMME WILD is even more daring than its forerunner. It is also more openly seductive and was designed for the wild boy hiding inside each of us. The JOOP! HOMME WILD man is not afraid to stand out, to assert himself. He is a rebel, hence a seducer. 
Developed by perfumer Aliénor Massenet, JOOP! HOMME WILD is an oriental fougère fragrance with many contrasts. It is built around a strong heart note of absolute rum. Seldom used in perfumery, it gives this fragrance a dark and luminous quality that perfectly expresses the strong and rebellious nature of the perfume. Absolute rum also brings an intoxicating and addictive touch of wild attraction. 
A hot and vibrant base note of woody blond tobacco, brings warmth and sensuality to the rum and gives JOOP! HOMME WILD a velvety softness. In contrast with this voluptuousness, the sparkling top notes of pink pepper add a very dynamic and masculine touch. 

For me as a fan of bold and dark fragrances JOOP! HOMME WILD is a wonderful alternative to my winters all-time-favourite BANG by Marc Jacobs. For everyone who is into such flavours as well I can only entrust JOOP! HOMME WILD.

JOOP! HOMME WILD, because sometimes, bad feels so good. (This post came into being in cooperation with JOOP! and is payed content.)

H&M DIVIDED GREY PARTY

Last night was pretty crazy. For the launch of the Divided Grey collection (which was kind of... grey?) H&M invited to a huge party at Kesselhaus Berlin. Thanks to the VIP & Press guestlist my friends, fellows and I had great fun that night and a huge hangover the next day. Thank you H&M!
Beside picture nr.3 all pictures are taken by Dustin, unfortunately I didn't had my camera with me.
