AE PRE-12 COLLECTION

These are my favorite pieces from ae's first collection for 2012.
In their presentation models stepped up on cut tree trunks to show the collections extremely beautiful jackets, volumes, amazing details and color contrasts.
The lookbook indicates that the white tops are silk, as is the white jacket and orange pants.
I don't mind at all, lately I've been wearing silk almost every day.
For picky people this collection might turn out to be a nightmare - you end up wanting it all!

LET'S TALK

I have picked up a habit of wearing extremely conservative outfits at my new work as sales assistant. It bases on these two items from Acne, chocolate brown Track boots and baby blue menswear inspired shirt. Well, the collar of the shirt is frayed and not to worry, I just found second hand Ann Demeulemeester shoes for 33 euros. They are for next summer though, I am trying to fill up my summer wardrobe consisting of almost two pieces. What can I say, I just like winter and autumn and wools. Or maybe leave the winter part out...

DETAILS

Hello guys! I am sorry for the absence.

For the record, I am wearing a black MaxMara lambswool turtleneck and cropped camel pants with a knot in the front that are made from tencel and that I strangely enough picked up from H&M. Then I have a black leather jacket with lambs fur sleeves, a cognac saddle bag and black patent mens shoes. I've also added a wood bangle, small silver earrings and a discreet silver ring.

I ordered a pair of beautiful Dries Van Noten silk pants from his Spring Summer 2010 collection.

During my blog absence I have been thinking about clothes and style and fashion business more than ever. Mostly it something silly like, damn wouldn't it be nice to touch a luxurious fabric that contains 10% of qiviut, which is softer than cashmere and warmer than lambswool and costs about 2500 euros per meter plus the expenses of tailor made suit.

When I grow up, I want to have cashmere carpets and live in a bubble where everything is soft and nice no one justifies buying a acrylic microtrend sweater.

This is just a small detail but you know where the best parts of life reside.

In the details.

Most of us like details only because they want to blind themselves from the bigger picture.

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with that, but only if we are able to admit it.

I know it's a lot to ask for but in words of Steve Jobs:

Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
