Noch kein einziges Geschenk? Noch genug Zeit? Von wegen!
Wer dem Stress entgehen will, sich kurz vor Weihnachten durch übervolle Geschäfte zu quetschen um am Ende doch wieder nur Socken oder Gutscheine zu verschenken, der bestellt am besten jetzt schon direkt beim Weihnachtsmann.

Sechs junge Designer haben sich zusammengetan und vier außergewöhnliche Geschenke in mühevoller Handarbeit kreiert.



Wir, von Vilde Svaner, steuerten einen eleganten Hundekragen bei. Damit auch unser treuester Freund an der Festtafel eine gute Figur macht.

I just kind of rediscovered this awesome guy while doing some research about my the uniforms. I nearly forgot about him. I think he's a great illustrator. Lots of the things he's doing have a musical background, like shirt designs for bands. Now he started somthing like a shirtzine. It's called fullbleed.org. Including designs of the month. Some of them are pretty cool. I like it. Good ideas.

Stella McCartneys Fall 2006 collection is a blast again. I've never thought that it's actually possible to fall in love with materials. But it happened. All the jumpers and jacket just invite me to hug them, to be loved by them.



But thinking of it - in the end - it's definitely not better than last fall's collection. That was more sixties, more boots, more sex.

To remember:

The Goethe Institut asked me to do a presentation infront of a group of young Asian journalists in May. Seven people coming from South Korea, China, Indonesia and Bhutan. They take part in a scholarship program that contains a 2-months stay in Cologne or Berlin at a local newspaper. During this they will also do a trip to 3 German cities: Bonn, Weimar and Munich.
And while visiting Weimar they also want to get in touch with some current projects or artists who are dealing with, "creating something new out of the traditions of Weimar". >>that's me<< And they also want to take a look at the department of media design.
Well, this will be on May, 30th.
I'll keep you in touch.
