Paris: Where the hood at?




Even though I think the chains are for rappers and thugs only, I cant close my eyes for the fact that the american jewelry designer Gabriel Urist's stuff are nice.

Have a look for yourself at his website: http://www.gabrieluristjewelry.com/

The skateboard pendant (which is my favorite) comes in Silver, Gold, Platinum and Gun Metal.

Paris: Exhausted

So, now I'm back in Paris. Just for some work... boring.
Yeah so, mentally I'm still in New York and a while ago I had the opportunity (and time) to catch some of the shows. I had time for two shows so I chose Dior Homme (favorite) and Alex McQueen. Had my hopes up for Mr. McQueen but it was boring and I don’t want to waste my time writing about such a shitty show.

Instead: Dior Homme! Dior Homme has, the last 4 years, been my absolute favorite. I don’t know how many jeans and t-shirts I got. But, when Mr. Van Assche took charge over the design I was happy, at first. No offence, I like the guy but the stuff he made for Dior Homme just makes my cry blood. The fabrics, the famous silhouette.... everything is ruined.

Kris, start doing drugs or become a Buddhist monk.... Dior Homme isn’t your calling.
I'll add some pics so you can see the disaster for yourself. Hedi, COME BACK!!

New York: Hectic


Is there an Olympics in running errands? I woke up at 9 and took a loong shower. Felt like I haven’t showered for years (sounds disgusting but it felt great). Then, after looking through my bags and had some breakfast, I went downtown to begin my errand run with 101 stops.

Went down Fifth and tried to remember what I was supposed to buy. Why can’t I make a list. But hey, then we'll never get this into the Olympics... right?

A quick visit to Saks, where I picked up my Salvatore Ferragamo lace ups, resulted in a new bag. Maybe I'll add some photos tomorrow. Really feel bored when I have to pick up a couple of lace-ups... I need them next time in Stockholm. I had some coffee with M, who also was on the run so we went our separate ways after a 10-minute talk. So the coffee gave me some new energy..... no, actually it made me tired and after a visit to SoHo I had to go home to get some work and packing done.

Tomorrow I'm flying to Paris for a couple of days. I know it seems like kind of a back and fourth life but its necessary right now to be in two places at the same time.

New York: For the time being

I arrived in New York 2 days ago. Not happy at all, right now Paris is the best place to be.
The weather is great even though my friends in New York told me that the weather is "GREAT" in New York right now.... yeah, what a lie.

The only reason why I w
ent to Paris in the first place was to see the shows and it was just great! But I only got like 3 days to spend in Paris because after my trip to Stockholm I really needed to go to NYC.
Saw some of the Stockholm fashion shows and it was so boring. Where is all the creative swedish designers? I was hoping for so much more!

There were two shows I was really eager to see and one of them was Acne (the other one was Carin Wester) but anyhow. Acne was what I would call a borderline-fashion show... (see the photos below).



Acne - In what way is this groundbreaking?
The guy is a fucking rip off and the outfit the girl is wearing is just great.
Why cant you guys just keep things on an even keel ?!


Beginning

The whole idea with starting a blog is just to share my life with people.
I'm 22 years old and I live in New York, Stockholm and Paris.
This blog is totally anonymous because of who I am.

Enjoy!
