I don't lie when I say it is one of the best exhibitions I've seen. Very clever and consistent and beautiful. Worthily reflecting the MMM cosmos.

Today I grab my last chance to see the Maison Martin Margiela exhibition in Munich. And of course, I will also get my copy of the catalogue because it is so nice and white. The Munich shop, by the way, is amazing. Who's gonna buy me the black mirror pants?

Horst Riding The Pig II

It's been a while (have a look at Part I) but now we met again: The pig and the Horst. The swine is a bit older and bigger now (the question is which one?), but also our love has grown. The force of attraction has remained unchanged.

Lost The Way

We met him several times. And he was always wearing his pink overall. He is a true style leader. Unfortunately, I forget his name. And honestly, I don't want to be polemic. His style concept seems to be right. Just the execution is a bit improvable. Lynn & Horst alternatively recommend:

Mouthpiece

Hofgarten, Munich.

Sorry for my white arms but I went tanning afterwards. Meeting the nudists at Englischer Garten in Munich. Well, what can I say. The silver market is proudly presenting its precious parts.

Hofgarten

Yes, Munich is beautiful. Especially when you are with beloved people. May I introduce to you: Horst and his sister Liesel.

Current Listening

Once upon a time on my way to a bar in Munich I found a bag at the sidewalk. It had a note on it saying "record player for take-away"! I checked it and it was a really nice one. Minimalistic and made of stainless steel. Now I can finally enjoy my vintage vinyl - especially the NKOTB Love Mix 7".

Munich Pattern Explosion

Dries van Noten Spring/Summer 2005
Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2007

This lady decided to do it the Dries van Noten way! Pattern versus pattern for a more sophisticated and eclectic look. Of course she knew she would pass by matching tulip tubs to make her outfit complete. Ahh, and do we even see a Louis Vuitton bag in that thrilling combination??? No - she sticks to the original. That's authentic high street fashion!

NOW! Bavarian Breakfast

This weekend Lynn & Horst make Munich - the city that always sleeps. There are some nice places to check out but maybe there is more to discover? Surprise us with something fresh. And if you got time we invite all (Bavarian) readers to join us for a coffee in the sun.

See ya?

Munich Picks

Well not quite totally impossible, there are some shops believe me. Hidden but existing. Let me draw a short resume: Munich isn't the best and most exciting shopping city as you probably all know, well unless you aren't another boring millionaire only buying LV, Armani, Chanel etc.

Let me first introduce you to the second hand area. It's located in Schwabing, a part of Munich where a lot of students are domiciled, not particularly remarkable thus the University is right around the corner. If you are more into new stuff check out COS (H&Ms new "posh" label) at Marienplatz in the center of the city, right beside the city hall. They got really nice things. Oh I almost forgot, Maximilianstrasse isn't that bad any longer, there're actually two nice shops. On the one hand Filippa K hidden in a little alley by the main street. Wonderful shop and gentle staff. On the other hand a cool boutique called serie a, situated on Hildesgardstrasse 2 (parallel street of Maximilianstr.). They have brands such as APC, Vanessa Bruno, Y's, Acne, Margiela and so on. Presumably the best shop in Munich. Then there is Stierblut located on Sendlingerstr. 35 and 37. They have little good stuff but also a lot of trash. So it's important to "read between the lines" and go through every tiny corner to make a real bargain! And finally there is Gärtnerplatz an area of Munich that can be compared to Berlin. I know it's so obvious nowadays but we all need a little bit of Berlin no matter in which part of the world we find ourselves. May it be Sthlm, London or even Munich. However, this Gärtnerplatz area has some enjoyable little shops and also a lot of good bars, restaurants and cafes. Even a wonderful gay district for all you gays out there!

Believe it or not, Munich isn't so bad at all, at least for one or two days! Not longer...
