Forgotten Matter II

or Things I Never Wear




Hat Model's Own
Coat Acne Jeans
Shirt COS
Trousers Acne Jeans
Gloves Vintage
Shoes Second Hand

Another chapter in the history-making series Forgotten Matter. Except the hat, I hardly ever wear these garments. A mistake as it seems. The coat is too long, the trousers too tight, the shoes too white. But once put together, I feel extremely well dressed. It's a mystery.

Frühling

The poor and sad version of Givenchy Spring/Summer 09. White see-through shirt, cropped jacket, high-waisted chinos, longjohns underneath, gladiator sandals, and platinum blonde hair. This is it.

Cologne Picks

Best Shop
Heimat
Mauritiuswall 76-78

Bruno Pieters, Veronique Branquinho, Hussein Chalayan. The owners of Heimat also created the fashion fanzine Mode Depesche winning the Lead-Award 2008 for best fashion photography.



Best Interior Design
COS
Ehrenstraße 33-35

The composition of furniture feels overly consequent, effortlessly merging decades and stylistics. Only beaten by the smell of freshly set wooden floor.





Best Selection
Gold
Antwerpenerstr. 13

Gold offers Scandinavian designer brands like S.N.S., Wood Wood, Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, Vibskov or Whyred. One of our favourites. Always synchronized with the contemporary zeitgeist.



Best Second Hand
Vintage & Rags
Hohenzollernring 47

Unfortunately California Vintage closed its doors, but second hand lovers can still discover nice pieces at Vintage & Rags where I lately found a nice blouson.




Best Cupcakes
Törtchen Törtchen
Alte Wallgasse 2a

For gourmets there's this little, tiny, pink patisserie that offers extremely sexy cakes in a dazzling array.






Best Ice Cream
Breda
Pfeilstr. 2

The most delicious ice cream is sold at this charming, authentically retro parlor near Rudolfplatz. Our recommendation and favourite flavour: coffee crunch.





Best Schnitzel
Oma Kleinmann
Zülpicher Str. 9

The best Schnitzel in town is served at Oma Kleinmann. A Lynn & Horst must. No further instructions needed.






Best Café
Café Wahlen
Hohenstaufenring

If you like to enjoy an afternoon tea in a truly old-fashioned and cozy interior, sitting in armchairs and watching senior citizens, the place to be is Café Wahlen. The retro inspired little coffee house Café Franck is also a must.

HorSTYLE Lesson No8

The contradiction of concrete and wood, of sleek and rough design inspired me for this new edition of HorSTYLE Lesson. After all the bright colors and extrordinary patterns, the return to minimalism. Easy, soft and quiet.

Perpetuum Mobile

For some dressing up is an art form, for others clothes by itself are pieces of art. For me it's maybe both, it's what you make out of both concepts. Because fashion is a more than a game, it's self expresion, it's irony, it's virtuosity.
